changedBonjour, guten Tag, hola, olá!I've been hard at work in the background, getting the game ready to be translated into multiple languages. When I started work I never intended for the game to be in any language other than English - as I didn't have any plans for a major release. However, seeing the success so far, it only makes sense to translate Widget Inc. for non-English-speaking parts of the world, to include more people who might otherwise be unable to enjoy the game.
changedSupported languagesRight now, I have translated the game into German, French, Spanish and Portuguese . At the moment these are fully machine-translated , as apart from maybe German I'm nowhere near fluent enough to judge the quality of translation. There are also some issues with text being too long to fit into buttons and similar issues. Therefore, I have decided to release the update as a beta through Steam. If you'd like to help fully translating the game into one of the four listed languages, please give it a try! You can opt-in for the beta through Steam (right-click the game in your library and choose 'Properties'):
changedSupported languagesIf you have suggestions for better translations, found text that doesn't make sense or is still untranslated, doesn't fit in bounding boxes - please let me know! I've created a channel in the game's Discord server for feedback on this beta test. Here's the Discord link in case you haven't joined yet: Widget Inc. Discord
changedSupported languagesOther languages may follow in the future, if there is enough demand. So please make yourselves heard if there are more popular languages that I should consider including in the game!

So, the past few weeks has been me going through the game with a fine-toothed comb, extracting every single line of text and converting them into a format that's more conducive to being translated. And the first version is finally here!
