@K1mpp4 True, but whether the increase in sales is big enough to justify the cost of localization is something one needs to consider carefully. E.g. with #Barotrauma (>90k words) it'd make absolutely no sense to localize to, say, Finnish (espc when most would play in English regardless)

@K1mpp4 Not all of them are unique, but using the same word in different contexts can cause problems if there's no single word that works in some language, even if there is in English. A problem we've run into more than a few times when localizing our game. 😅

@K1mpp4 @hyperityltd A problem with this kind of "crowdsourced" translation is that you can't really put deadlines on people doing it (semi-)voluntarily. If we need to release an update on some specific day, we need to be able to tell the translators the new text and LQA NEEDS to be done by some dl.

In our last sneak peek into #Barotrauma 1.0 (before the release next Monday!) we shed a bit of light onto what you might find at the end of the campaign map, and what else is new in 1.0. https://barotraumagame.com/announcements/coming-next-week-barotrauma-1-0/ #gamedev #indiegame #gaming http://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fq4Bwn2WIAY1Iq2.jpg
