EVELYN’S DEV DIARY #10 — SPECIAL: Apparently, I speak five languages now ♡ (Patreon)
Content
Hi again. ♡
Remember when I told you my phone was starting to learn a few new languages?
Well… apparently, it’s going pretty well. 😏
I’ve been slowly figuring out how localization should work in Unlike Me — not just translating individual lines, but making sure the whole phone feels natural when you switch languages.
Menus, apps, notifications, messages, little pieces of text hiding everywhere…
There are a lot more words in my phone than I realized. 😅
But the good news is: it works. ♡
🎃 Devilish will be available in five languages:
🇬🇧 English🇷🇺 Русский🇹🇷 Türkçe🇧🇷 Português (Brasil)🇩🇪 Deutsch
I’ve been testing them inside the Halloween Special, and seeing the same little moment appear in five different languages is strangely satisfying.
Claire can now wish me a Happy Halloween in quite a few ways. ♡
And this isn’t going to stay inside Devilish.
The localization system I’m building for the Special will also make its way into the main game with Unlike Me v0.3.
That means Evelyn’s main story will begin expanding beyond English too. ♡
There’s still plenty of text to work through — especially considering how much I seem to enjoy texting people — so I’m taking it one step at a time and making sure everything works properly along the way.
But for now…
Devilish is definitely going multilingual. 🎃
Five languages, one Halloween night, and apparently five different ways for my daughter to call me “Mom.” 😏
Not bad for a phone that only spoke English a little while ago.
