Language and Translator support.
SWAT One:
Recently I have met a few people who had come from Steam, who spoke foreign languages- one of them, French, and one of them, Portuguese. While talking to the longsuffering Frenchman, he spoke through Google Translate, a process that when involving Alt+Tab, is very tedious. The Portuguese guy was really patient and kind, and I really tried to help him understand that I didn't speak Portuguese.
With the influx of players around the globe, I think we should look into having a translator feature for Blockland, as well as a selection for the preferred/natural language when starting a server.
Thanks for reading. Discuss.

I really think we need translation support. It would great to have more players from around the world. We already have lots of people here whose native language isn't English so with crowdsourced translations we could probably translate the game to ~5 different languages in under a week. I suppose the main problem is more extensive Unicode character support.
Edit: Just got a German thread on the Steam forums.

I hope that Palatino Linotype supports more characters. It would be a shame to give that up- it's something that stuck on me with Blockland.
Dante77:
so how would this work? everyone can translate what they want or will there be someone assigning people for the task? i'd like to translate the game
Matthew Padilla:
You could just use google translate, I would make it if I knew how to pump the site's information back into the game.
