    This has been discussed many times, the devs would rather put time into making it a better game than doing a translation they cannot complete.

    I expected a longer letter lol.

    Basically, this will never happen until someone who knows Chinese and English goes and rewrites the font system and translates everything. Even then, it wouldn't be official, we don't need unreadable Chinese titled saves on the server with the English ones, so a way to separate them would have to be made. It won't happen unless someone steps up and starts some work.

    I am Chinese too.You can rewrite the render system (freetype supports SDL nicely) and publish it as a mod.An offical multi-launguage version will ruin everything.

     The primary issue with having a multi-language server, is having a separate staff to moderate and translate for us. We don't have a large social base of Chinese members according to my polling. Simply doing so wouldn't be cost effective is what I'm trying to say.
