+davidcalgary29 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 My kids are entering into French Immersion, and I'd love to use French instructions and/or in-game text as a teaching aid. Is there any chance of an upcoming release in French (as no one seemed to like my suggestion of Japanese)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+nanochess Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Most of Colecovision Canada releases include manuals in French. I don't know if any game includes French in-game text. I've thought about translating Mecha-8 to Japanese, you know, mechas and Japan, but then I realized I didn't knew anything of Japanese language and besides Colecovision fans in Japan probably are 2 or 3. When I was developing Mecha-8 I removed my MSX Spanish translation and I've proposed a French translation, but it was refused because a vast majority of Colecovision fans are English speakers. The good thing is that I used the extra space to put more music, graphics and enemies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+davidcalgary29 Posted March 19, 2014 Author Share Posted March 19, 2014 That's part of the reason why I raised the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
