    Hello everyone

    I wanted to start a discussion and ask whether there's any chance that Paradox will ever add an official language like Czech to their games. While it's true that the Czech market may be small in comparison, there are many players who really need the game to be translated. I believe that adding Czech localization could help expand the community and make the games more accessible to new players, as well as those who may not have a strong command of English.

    I've explored various alternatives such as fan-made Czech translations, but unfortunately, most of them have encountered significant issues. Some have been plagued by huge drama within the community, while others have requested donations to sustain the translation efforts. Additionally, even when the game was fully translated by fans, there are often grammatical and textual issues that detract from the overall experience. It's important to have accurate and well-crafted translations that do justice to the original content and provide an enjoyable gaming experience for Czech-speaking players.

    Plus, I am not even talking about A.I. translators that are mostly used by fan-made Czech translations to create Czech translations for Paradox games. Such A.I.s are basic, with zero game knowledge, so it's hard for A.I. to know what is what without context and game knowledge.


    - most of my friends don't know English very well but are eager to play it. They're even trying to learn English themselves to better understand the game.
    But if Paradox Interactive were to make this generous dream a reality, it would be truly mind-blowing for all players who want to play these games in their native language.
