Hey there, lovely soul! <3 I have amazing news—I’ve successfully managed to translate your wonderful game! I'm ready to share a link to my GitHub repository, which contains a Python script for auto-translating the dialogue file, as well as a GameMaker script to auto-generate fonts with the required character sets.You don't have to worry about the layouts breaking: all game requirements, including character sizes, text boundaries, and other font configurations, are fully met and respected. All you need to do is run the Python code to translate the text into your target language, and then run the GameMaker script to generate all 10 necessary fonts. After that, simply replace the .yarn dialogue file and the font assets for the target localization, and compile the game with the localization prefix.Unfortunately, you will still need to translate the menu text manually (or just leave it in English for now, which isn't a dealbreaker at all). I know you mentioned that adding other languages isn't feasible right now, but honestly, it would be a huge missed opportunity for such a massive potential audience. Your game is absolutely fantastic, and so many more people around the world would love to experience it!If you're down for this, just let me know! I'll put together a clear README.md guide on how to run everything, and I'll share the repository with you in a few days. :3

Hey! Thank you so much for all the effort you have put into this. It really means a lot to us. Before you put in even more work though: we currently do not plan to officially integrate any fan translations into the game. This might change once we finish the game, but for now the game will stay english only. That said, this doesn't mean we don't appreciate what you are doing. So you are free to upload fan translations of the game yourself if you want.
