Devlog disponible en français ici

__________________________________________________________________________

It's been a long time since I've done a devlog about HopDrop, and yet the game is still in development and is even progressing very well... And it remains surprisingly visible despite my silence. To offer this great platform game in top view to a max of people, it is important to translate it.

HopDrop is coded to accommodate multiple languages in a single package to simplify development and deployment. Currently, the game is available in French and English, in order to choose the 3rd language (and maybe a 4th if I have the time and skills in said language), I relied on Google Analytics and Twitter.

And the 3rd language that will integrate HopDrop will be: German.

Let's take a look at this choice.

HopDrop's visibility is marked in French-speaking (France, Quebec, French-speaking Belgium, French-speaking Switzerland) and English-speaking (United States of America, rest of Canada, United Kingdom, Australia) regions. The third linguistic area is therefore German-speaking with Germany and German-speaking Switzerland. In Europe, apart from its two countries, German also has a place of choice, it is also the official language of Austria, one of the official languages of Luxembourg and eastern Belgium (although for Belgium, German speakers represent only 1% of the Belgian population)... In addition to that, German is understood by a good part of the population of the Netherlands. This choice of language is therefore the most coherent, especially since it is a language that I speak.

Here is a small table of different places in the game, with their French, English and German names.

Vallée Féerarie	Fairyland	Feenland
Montagne Verte	Spring Valley	Grünes Tal
Archipel Pacifique	Pacific Islands	Pazifischer Archipel
Manoir de Blacktruve	Noirode Mansion	Herrenhaus Aleschwarz
Désert Toupouri	Realyrotten Desert	Tupuri Wüste
Alpes Blanche	White Alps	Weisse Alpen
Bois Pomé	Nothere Wood	Verlorener Wald

See you soon (hopefully).
