Currently two fan created language packs are included in beta testing:
Polish
Slovak
If you can understand these languages (even a little), please test the game on these languages, and post in this thread. It's important that as many as possible players test the game with these languages, as we cannot test them properly in house (nobody understands Polish or Slovak here). Without proper validation, we cannot include these languages to the official release (we need to guarantee that the Steam distribution does not have anything inpropriate on it). We need at least one extra beta tester in addition to the language creator to test each language. Languages that are not tested properly, will be released as extra language packs in our forum, but cannot be added to the official Steam release.
Also if you don't understand these languages yourself and have a friend who understands, please ask him to quickly check out the beta, and post in this thread. Thank you!
I claim that in my Slovak translation, there are:
- NO vulgarisms
- NO racist, religious or any other related offensive content
- NO grammatical errors (checked two times)
I am not able to provide any tester of the language. No one I know plays the game. If you don't trust the quality of the translation, just don't include it in the game. It'll be a big disappointment and a waste of patience and time for me, and actually nobody will be able to use it, because even if it is available for download at the game homepage, nobody will download it. Reason? The percentage of Slovak (and Czech) players who have ever seen this website is no more than 3%, I think (I actually may - and probably am - be the only one).
I also claim, that as I am a native speaker of Slovak and student of English at the Advanced level, the translation is fresh, fluent and sounds native. This is everything I can say. Do you think that I translated this game to ruin the content and offend people?
EDIT: There is ONE grammatical error, which was not done by me. The launcher contains a badly spelled word "Koniek" which needs to be fixed and changed to "Koniec" - and that's the only issue I am aware of with the translation.
Yeh guys, trust ObeliX, he's a good guy, and I know he wouldn't do anything bad. At leat put the slovak one in. He's worked really hard on this.
About Polish translation, you can trust me there is no vulgarisms, no offensive content of any type, no grammatical errors etc. I checked in Word to be sure as it's easy to miss own errors, and I read WHOLE translated text about 5 times at the end to make sure even every "." is in right place
But like I said before, it's easy to miss own errors, so I understand there are doubts about the quality of translation. And I think there is always something that can be improved, so maybe it might fit more the game atmosphere etc.
I asked one person from Poland, registered here and taking part in beta, to test the translation, so I hope we can see his suggestions soon
I was busy (and I'm still, moving to new place), so sorry I haven't posted here before![]()
Hi, I'm a polish native speaker and I must admitt that this translation is really good. I can't find anything wrong. I'm still trying
The only thing I though about was 'wheele' but there is no polish equivelent and as there is no such a noun in english so it can stay as it is.
Good job.

All this looks like my Slovak translation won't get through to the final release![]()
At least include some text like "Additional languages can be downloaded at redlynxtrials.com" in the launcher, please! That way it may be used at least a bit. Otherwise this translation would be completely unnecessary.
But definitely it would be much better if it actually GETS included...
That is completely up to you now, RedLynx. My work ends here.

Could you not just put it in an online translator? It owuldn't be 100% accurate, and grammar would be awful, but you would get the general idea, and it wouldn't be hard to find any racism, bad language etc. and it would be a real shame to see people's hard work to go to waste.
If this was addressed to me, I don't get a word out of that. Sorry.Originally Posted by epZ![]()
If not, okay, forget I said the sentence up above this one.![]()
Nice to hear this. Now we just need to find one person to test the Slovak language, and we are all set. I personally trust that the language is top quality, but large publishers are always a bit concerned about content that has not been validated properly.Originally Posted by dzik
Slovakia seems to have 37 players:

Does anyone of you know if any of the Slovakian players is active enough to download the beta and test the language? We can activate an beta account for him/her on monday if anyone is willing to do the testing. It would be great to have Slovak approved as official language for the game.
