Help us release Microlandia in your language
Microlandia is a tiny city full of life. A menu label can change the mood. A short newspaper line can make a player smile. When words feel natural, the whole game feels local. We are translating Microlandia into many languages so more players can enjoy the full game in their own language.
Microlandia is already translated into many languages thanks to community effort. If you speak any other language than English, you can help us make it real by joinin our translation project in Crowdin.
You are not just translating text. You are shaping how players feel in your language. Even a short session helps.
Want a language that is not listed?
We are very eager to add new languages. You can request one directly on Crowdin with the Request New Language button on the Microlandia project page.
Discord and email are also great if you prefer those.

How we work and where AI fits
Microlandia is not an “AI content game.” Final translation quality is always a human decision. Native speakers define tone, meaning, and style.
Why AI appears in Crowdin
We ship updates often. New strings can appear fast. To avoid missing text in each update, we pre-translate new strings with AI as a first draft.
In Crowdin, these drafts are usually shown in blue. Blue means draft ready for human review. Blue does not mean final.
What contributors should do with blue strings
- Keep the meaning correct.
- Make the writing natural for real players.
- Keep terms consistent with existing game text.
- Remove awkward or invented wording.
Approval policy
- Approved means a human proofreader reviewed the string and marked it ready.
- Approved strings are the ones we trust for release quality.
- It is always okay to improve an approved translation later.

Step 3. Understand the Crowdin editor
After opening a file, you will see three key areas:
LEFT SIDEBAR
- Blue: pre-translated draft, needs human review.
- Green: translated, not approved yet.
- Check mark and Approved: reviewed and approved.
- Red (if present): untranslated.
You can search and filter by these statuses.
EDITOR AREA
Source text appears at the top, and your translation field is below it.
- Edit existing blue or green translations, or create a new one.
- Save your translation after each change.
RIGHT SIDEBAR
Use this panel for comments, translation memory, and glossary.
- Ask questions when context is unclear.
- Prefer glossary terms when available.
- Use translation memory for consistency, not blind copy and paste.
Step 4. Proofread and approve
All accepted collaborators usually have proofreader rights.
- Review meaning, grammar, tone, and consistency.
- Confirm placeholders and formatting are intact.
- Check technical parts like ``,
\n, numbers, and symbols. - Click Approve when the string is release-ready.
If your account is missing proofreader rights, leave a short comment and contact us on Discord or email.
Step 5. Improve existing approved strings
Approved does not mean locked forever. If you can make a string clearer or more natural:
- Suggest the better translation.
- Add a short comment with the reason if useful.
- Approve it again.
Step 6. Choose what to work on
- Fast contribution: short UI strings (menus, settings, tooltips).
- Creative contribution: in-game newspaper articles.
- High-impact contribution: proofreading blue AI drafts for natural tone.
