changedWhat IS translated?Basically, everything else not mentioned above should be translated properly. I am taking this next week to sweep back through it for mistakes (Russian is NOT my native language). The original release for this update was intended to be April 5th, but with my trip to the states, it just wasn't possible to hit that mark, and I apologize for its lateness; I take full responsibility. It's tough doing things on your own sometimes.

addedAre other languages possible in the future?This system I have in place now will allow other languages to be added pretty seamlessly in the future. While I don't have plans for other languages at this time, I am open to requests. I do not speak any other languages (My Russian is barely intermediate; Most of the translations are products from my wife), and hiring translators can get pretty pricey. With that said, I'd love to pursue additional languages in between the planned updates mentioned in the roadmap.

addedIs there anything else in this update minus the localization support?No, unfortunately, besides some minor bug fixes that won't mean much to you if you have already played the whole game. However , with that said, the 3.0 update will add a new level with some cool new things to explore. Thanks to everyone who has been supportive throughout the lifetime of Immersive Poetry. Here's to what's next!

What ISN'T translated?

Everything in the game has been localized excluding the extras menu poems and the poem texts in game, the latter of which will be translated in the End of April update (3.0, no scheduled release date as of yet and may be the first week of May). It is possible that I have missed some texts throughout the game, and if this is the case, please email me or post the missing translations on the discussion boards. This is my first attempt at translating a game inside of this engine, so mistakes may be present, and I apologize in advance for anything that goes awry.

Why?

The unlockable poems are not translated due to the fact that these are images and not text on a backdrop. I will need to remake the assets and then replace them during runtime without causing any other issues, and I don't feel like I have the amount of time I need for it to live up to my standards. The poem popups in the game are going to be translated, I just did not have the time to translate them before this update, so hang in there!
