Unfortunately, there is no alternate language support. Some people volunteered to make a translation, but none of them ever finished. The developer decided not to pursue translations any more.

Some worked with BW on a translation but never finished, the Russian volunteers attempted to hack the game to do it themselves.SpottedShroom wrote:Unfortunately, there is no alternate language support.

I'm sure most of them were out of their depth. I've worked with professional translators. It is a much harder job than most people imagine, and there's a lot more text in an RPG than you might at first think. I also have friends who write for major game studios. LOTS of text. Getting across jokes, in particular, is not an easy thing. There's a lot of humor in Eschalon, and not all of it translates well.Jedi_Learner wrote:I've always wondered why none of them finished their translations. Were they out of their depth?
