    I'm a french player ( my english is not very good :/ ) on your network , I play on hardcore servers with questbook and sometimes I don't understand a quest or an explain . I've got one question : can you try to make a questbook in french and maybe in other languages for others people ? I think it can be very useful for everybody don't understand everything in english like me .

    That's not down to the server but the pack creator

    (Google is your friend)[DOUBLEPOST=1455707979][/DOUBLEPOST]And that would take a rediculous amount of time to do, and this being primeraly a English speaking server so

    I know we need to speak english but some people aren't english and it's just an idea . I think the translation is not a big problem with the staff and some people can help too

    What your suggesting is that someone or some people would have to write out 50+ different versions of the quest book in different languages, then code something in so you can pick what language you would like you book and then even test it. That takes alot of time and effort for admins and staff and thats time the staff dont have. Yes its a good idea in theory but in practicallity its a very slim chance unless the HQM creator puts something in to do it. Or someone creates a plugin for it. idk.

    I don't think it's necessary to translate it in +50 languages but you say probably true . I'll search a plugin and maybe find it :)

    This is really not on us - we just host the modpack on our servers. You'd have to bring your request to the Modpack Author, AND the HQM Mod devs, as, as far as i know, HQM has no localization at all, everything is english, and hardcoded FOR english.

    This would require the HQM mod dev to rewrite huge parts of HQM to do this - and then it would require the modpack authors to actually get the localization/translation stuff done.

    I thought as much, thought it might need mod and pack creator to do it rather than the server

    Finally it's impossible at the end .[DOUBLEPOST=1455711961][/DOUBLEPOST]To my mind it will be a collective effort for the community where everybody can help for translate :'(

    While HQM is server-side, I believe. It doesn't offer any localization, nor is there any mods designed with added localization.

    I think questbooks in other languages is a great idea. Don't worry Paparuse, it will likely happen eventually, either by the modding community or a group of fans. Also, as Google translate gets better with on-the-fly translation, the tools will become more available to programmers.

    Keep heart, and bonne chance!

    It can be a stupid idea for engish people or for people speak english very well but for other people I think it's the Graal ^^

    this would not even be possible with a special mob. It would require hqm developer to add localisation methods.
    I highly doubt this will happen. ;-)
