KSP on Epic is only in English. This could be a problem for new players who dont know how to speak/read english.

[Anth]

I  uninstalled KSP on my epic app. Changed to Russian on the epic app (at least I think it was). Reinstalled KSP and its still in English.

What indicated that other languages might be possible was that the main KSP game is actually sitting inside a folder called "English"

Anyone know how to change the language or is it currently impossible?

Hey there! We're working on getting the other languages uploaded, and we don't have an ETA yet, but it should hopefully be resolved soon!

Down in either the Russian or Japanese international sub forum, there is a comment on how to do this I think.   Posted within the last 24 hours.   Alas, you’ll have to manually translate anything recent to figure it out.

There's a French entry which is already taken care of and the Russian one that is above which I translated and responded to which points back at this post (using google translate). No fix as far as I could find.

I do know of a possible fix. Take the language packs from KSP on other platforms like steam/gog/KSP Store but I doubt Private Division would like that option from a legal perspective.

I will note that English is my only language. Someone notified me of this issue and my bug hunting persona took over to try to figure it out and so I reported it here and on the KSP bug tracker.

Seems like an important issue or I wouldn't have said anything.

Russian:

Это копия файла русской локализации из GOG-версии KSP. Это работает только в том случае, если весь файл rar вставлен непосредственно в основную папку KSP, потому что buildID64.txt сообщает KSP, на каком языке он находится. В противном случае это не сработает. Не уверен в проблемах с копирайтингом, учитывая, что он взят из копии KSP, а затем размещен в Интернете.

English:

It's a copy of the Russian localization file from a GOG version of KSP. It only works if the entire rar file is pasted directly into the KSP main folder because the buildID64.txt tells KSP what language it is. Otherwise it wont work. Not sure of the copywrite issues here considering its taken from a copy of KSP and then posted online.

But it is a work around.

Any news about an ETA ?

Can`t be such a problem to integrate already translated language packs, could it?

... Soon™ ... 7 1/2 weeks later...

I know about this kind of soon...

soon (tm)

Describes something that we are told is coming soon (game updates, TV shows, etc.) but we have heard it enough times to know better. Whoever is saying x event will occur soon is considered to own the trademark on the word because they have used it so many times.
