App version 3.46.0 is live now - The Language Update!

Hi folks.

Over the past couple of years we've been slowly translating Blood on the Clocktower into a number of different languages, subsequently releasing them as boxed versions of the physical game. Because this has been an incremental process, we've always seen it as something that we'd add to the app 'eventually'. That eventually never came, because there are over 6,000 languages spoken on this planet and translating it into just a fraction of them takes a very long time.

So we're now beginning to roll out what we've already done and we'll continue to add more as time passes. Concurrent to that, we're handing you guys the tools to work on any language you wish to add to the app via our translation portal. This doesn't mean we'll stop working on translations ourselves. We'll continue to hammer away at what we're already working on and once we complete a language, we'll move on to another. We currently have official (base 3) token translations for Czech, German, Spanish, French, Hungarian, Korean, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, and Chinese (Simplified Han script). These will be added to the app in the coming months. In the mean time....

• 🚀 the app now offers translations, both official and unofficial, natively!

  • initially supported languages: Danish, German, Spanish, Spanish (Latin America), Italian, Dutch, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian and Swedish

  • those translations currently only cover the app interface, the game content will follow later (German already includes the official Base 3 translations, though)

  • all of them were provided by volunteers and fans, you can suggest improvements for them on our translation portal

  • the translations are also accessible for our toolmakers in a public Github repository

  • this change was a huge undertaking, so expect some rough edges and minor visual issues, but we'll fix them too!

  • there are going to be many more languages added, as soon as they have completed their translations! inluding Pirate English, yarrr!

• 🚀 updated the majority of the Jinxes
