Kenshi Patch Notes – March 22, 2023
Small Localisation Updates for Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil), German, French & Japanese
Lo-Fi’s Localisation Team has been steaming ahead since last October, after the new localisers for Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil), German, and Chinese (Simplified) joined the team. One of the first things they looked into, before tackling Kenshi 2, was to look into Kenshi’s non-dialogue related text, including UI, tips, and item descriptions for inconsistencies, mistranslations, and language-specific issues.
We are happy to announce that Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil), German, French and Japanese corrections are now completed with some of the key changes that are outlined below.
Spanish
There were many inconsistencies in gamedata, such as,‘‘blueprints’ translated into multiple words, and ‘Beak Things’ and ‘Skimmers’ translated into two different words. Beak Things are now consistently called ‘Pinchostruo’ and Skimmers ‘Patineto’.
Some mistranslated words are also corrected, including “Armour King’ changed from “armadura del rey” (the king’s armour)” to “Rey de la armadura”.
Some skill-related verbs such as ‘crafting’ and ‘farming’ are also using correct tenses.
Most of the lore-related notes and documents are re-translated and should be easier to read compared to the previous translations.
German
- Quotation marks and ellipses (…) are now properly displayed. No more text gaps!
- Translated previously untranslated text
- Fixed text overflow on certain UI elements
- Some incorrect skill name translations were fixed
- Generic NPC names are now correctly gendered to match the NPC’s gender (for example: Bauer/Bäuerin, Söldner/Söldnerin)
- Fixed many naming inconsistencies, including Rebirth and the Skeleton race
- Skimmers now retain their English name and Skimsands was accordingly changed to “Skimwüste”
- The “Gutters” faction is now correctly called “Ausweider”
- Reworked many UI texts, item descriptions, tips and tutorials to fix errors and increase legibility
Portuguese (Brazil)
All the game interface (except dialogues) has been reviewed and polished in Portuguese. Players should notice several improvements to the previous translation, including:
- Fixing of typos, grammar, and UI display issues (such as the infamous /OA/)
- Consistency within gameplay elements (e.g., “equipe” instead of “grupo/equipe” for “squad”) and lore elements (e.g., “Talho Negro” instead of “Arranhão/Talho Negro” for “Black Scratch”)
- Fixing of overflowing and cut-off text. There may be more work to do, but we’ve fixed what we could find
- Generic NPC names now display according to the specific character’s gender (e.g., “Padeiro” or “Padeira” for “Baker”)
- Instructional text and item descriptions have been mostly re-written for improved clarity
- A few tweaks to give the Portuguese localization more flavour (e.g., instead of the awkward “areiaíche” for “dustwich”, we now have “sandubareia”)
French
A few fixes and improvements, such as:
- Untranslated text that used to appear in English is now translated into French
- Improved translation of some GUI elements
- Fixed some errors with items and their descriptions
- Generic names now display according to the character’s gender (e.g., “marchand” or “marchande” for “trader”)
Japanese
Some untranslated texts have now been translated into Japanese. Speed-related displays such as miles/hr are shown in Japanese. Some instructional and help texts have been edited further for easier reading.
