[Suggestions] Per-mod language flags/language awareness
Posted: Thu Mar 08, 2018 7:43 am
Currently every mod is equal on the mod portal. It would be nice if mod authors could mark which languages a mod supports (or the portal auto-detected this by looking at the locale folder) and players could filter search results to prefer results in their language or to hide all other-language mods completely.
Also for bonus points as a mod author it would be great to be able to have a seperate description page for each language (or even just to show the localized mod description from locale.cfg). I currently include all 3 languages i know into my own mods (which takes a non-negligible amount of time), but with the main mod portal language being english there is no good way for me to communicate to the browsing player that my mods support anything other than english.
Also for platinum bonus points let mod authors visibly mark their spoken languages so players know that an author can understand questions/bug reports written in other languages if a player is not fluent in english. This could also be useful on the forums.
