Multilingual update
Added 2025-06-25 16:52:42 +0000 UTCHello everyone, I have just released another small update to Chapter 10. You can download it from the original post.
I said small, but it was actually a lot of work π
There are two major changes:
1) I made a lot of text fixes to the English version of the game. MagicMan753 collected hundreds of fixes and improvements, for which I am eternally gratefulβ€οΈ
2) I added translations in nine languages:
German (AI)
Spanish (AI)
French (AI)
Italian (AI)
Simplified Chinese (AI)
Portuguese (Brazil) (AI)
Czech
Polish (AI)
Turkish (AI)
Most of these were created using AI. Let me explain: I was always a firm believer in manual translations and disliked machine translations. However, two things have recently changed my mind.
Firstly, several people told me independently that any translation is better than no translation if you don't understand English well enough to enjoy the game.
Secondly, advances in AI have made it possible to create translations that take larger contexts into account, yielding much better results than "old school" machine translators.
Additionally, AI translation is more flexible, because I can e.g. translate a new chapter in a matter of hours. And last but not least, it's significantly less expensive.
That said, the result is not perfect. I'm well aware of that. There are inconsistencies, and some of the translations will undoubtedly sound strange to a native speaker. I consider this an experiment. If you test any of the translations, please let me know what you think. I'm curious to hear your reactions.
Thank you! Have fun and enjoy your summer!

That would be great. I'm sure there will be those. Even with my very limited German knowledge, I noticed e.g. phone is translated as "telefon", while a native would probably use "handy" in this case.

I would also offer you to change some strange terms of the AI-German into a better sounding terms if you want to. If so, then you would need to tell me how that could work for you.
