New languages added, official translations in progress!

Hello, Champions!

Today, we want to share some exciting news and updates about localization for Alaloth: Champions of The Four Kingdoms. First and foremost, we want to emphasize something important: throughout Early Access, and since the very beginning, we've always delivered on what we've promised, often exceeding expectations. From bigger updates to more refined features, we've consistently aimed to go beyond what was initially planned. With 1.0 launch, we've received a lot of messages about supposed promises we never made regarding localization, which, for a moment, almost made us drop everything, because health comes first. Back in time, we announced that with version 1.1 we would have supported three official languages. No more. That is to be crystal clear

However, we also recognized that waiting for full localization might be challenging for players eager to experience the game. That's why we started taking interim steps to help everyone enjoy the game while we work on both official and community-driven translations. Localization has been one of the most requested features from our community, and we've worked hard to explore ways to make it a reality.

To make this possible, we've integrated DeepL, a machine translation tool, as a starting point for localization efforts used by many indie studios all around the world. This approach serves two purposes: it allows players to begin exploring Plamen in their own language while also paving the way for both professional and community-based translation efforts. Over the past few months, we've reworked our tools, restructured data, and made changes in Unity to enable this process. These adjustments weren't easy, but they were necessary to create a solid foundation for localization. Looking ahead, our use of this tool, will continue to bridge the gap while we roll out official localizations and enable community-based efforts. While machine translations are helpful, we want to be upfront about their limitations. They cannot fully replicate the depth, immersion, and atmosphere we've worked so hard to create. However, they serve as an excellent foundation for community groups to refine and build upon.
