[NEEDS INFO] Support umlauts in all in-game fonts

[Jan Wenzig]

To support translation into Germanic languages all in-game fonts should support umlauts.

[Erik Johansson]

Where can't you use them? It should work just about anywhere where you enter text as a normal player, there might be places in the non-user-editable text where you can't use them at the moment as they might not be included in the font files some of that text uses though.

I transelate complete Game for German Players and when I use in Description ö,ä,ü it show as ? and I must use ae,oe and ue. Its in complete Game so.

[Erik Johansson]

The game doesn't yet support translation (and it will probably be a while yet as we want to prioritize gameplay features + it's not much use to start translating the game before the English text has reached a more stable state). That doesn't mean that the game shouldn't support umlauts, just that it isn't a priority right now, so I'm moving it to the "Backlog" milestone (which simply means that it will be decided later when it will be implemented).

Umlauts should work in all the in game fonts, that's a very basic character. Can you be more specific, which file are you changing and which line?

Hi, we're not ready for translation yet. Please leave a comment on this forum topic: http://www.wildfiregames.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=13790

That way we'll have people to contact when it's time for translations :)
