Hey Everyone,
Hollow Knight's latest patch is now available on the beta branches!
To access a beta branch, right-click on 'Hollow Knight' in your Steam library, click properties, select the 'Betas' tab, then select one of the following:
Windows PC: public-beta-
OSX: beta-osx-
Linux: beta-linux-
This is a smaller update that fixes a few bugs, but more importantly adds beta support for two new languages: German and Simplified Chinese! For now, these languages are hidden in the game's main menu while we finalise their implementation. But! If you want to help us test these languages (which would be incredibly appreciated!) you can access them with a Launch Option.
To make German and Simplified Chinese available in the options menu:
- In your Steam library, right-click on Hollow Knight and select 'Properties'
- Under the 'General' tab, click on 'Set Launch Options'
- In the window that pops up, type '-forcelang' in the text box and click 'ok'.
KNOWN ISSUES FOR CHINESE AND GERMAN
(No need to report these)
- Language name will appear incorrectly in menu (eg. 'LANG_199')
- Simplified Chinese: Some characters missing (appear as squares)
- Simplified Chinese: Some bolded text hard to read
- Simplified Chinese: Area titles sometimes overlap
- Simplified Chinese: Sub-titles sometimes clip off screen
Apart from the issues above, let us know if you see anything wrong with the translations, whether its technical problems or actual translation errors/oddities.
