    I`ve learnt that Official Wynncraft Wiki has already started translation project.But Wiki is just to help players to get information and solve issues,they cant experience plots and stories while in gaming.I just hope Wynncraft Official can organize a project to recruit volunteers who come from different countries and speaking different languages to translate English to their native language thus more players can learn Wynn more thoughtful.
    As a Chinese player,we have set up a Wynncraft group at Tecent QQ which includes 1k players.Most of them are billinguals and fond of Wynncraft. I believe they have qualifications to take on translate works.For example, we Chinese players has completed almost all contents in Hypixel Crowdin programs and update daily new texts with the help of a group of volunteers.Obviously with the help of players, translate works can be completed effectively.

    Yes, good idea! I'm not very good at languages myself, but this would be a fun project! Maybe if some people who are better at languages than me can get on board, this idea could go somewhere!

    As a player from Hong Kong, I can definitely help with translation if there is a translation team as I can read, speak and write in both English, Simplified and Traditional Chinese.

    If we're doing community translations, it will not hurt to look for a "unanimously agreed upon" reviewer. Keep in mind that the in-game implementation will be a whole new challenge for the staff team - it has to be translated, reviewed, and applied.

    Also, if you have translated before, you will immediately realize that it will not always be in spirit. You'll obviously see the translators improvise on the fly for terms that has no simple explanation in other languages.

    This has been suggested earlier in General Suggestions subforum, which itself was a repost from 4 years prior.

    Well, each language has its jokes and its puns so you can just try to adapt them with an idiom from said language.
