"false - No official localisation nor fan-made localisation is available for the game."
Would a "false" discourage someone to look for fanmade translations? I think, that most authors just type the official supported parts and mark everything else with "false" rather than leaving it "unknown". For this it requires to know, that there are no fanmade translations, which is not possible, as the statement can not be verified, only falsified.
PCGamingWiki talk:Editing guide/Localizations
Fan-made translations are the exceptions -- not the norm. Editors can presume that there are no fan-made translations available for a language, especially for recently released titles.
Similarly, 'unknown' is a state more commonly used to indicate that the official localization of a game needs further testing -- not whether a fan-made localization might exist or not. Imagine seeing games like Yakuza: Like a Dragon with 'unknown' set to all Audio parameters -- it would confuse readers as that would suggest the official localization might, in fact, maybe have localized audio, and that further testing is necessary to confirm/deny it when in reality the truth of the matter was already know: the game did not include official localization of said element in said language.
When a fan-made localization is confirmed to exist, then the state of the row gets changed to 'hackable' with the fan parameter set to 'true'.
So, it is unlikely, that it will be differently interpreted. I actually thought the same way: false, if no official. In that case, my quoted sentence just confused me.
Ah, I see what you mean now.
The reason why fan-made was mentioned in that specific sentence was to make it clear that "hackable" takes precedence over "false", so that a situation would not occur where an editor would question whether "false" (no official localization) or "hackable" (fan-made localization) would take precedence when editing.
Though on reading it through once more, I don't think the "fan-made" mention is necessary to be included in that sentence as PCGW overarchingly treats "hackable" as taking precedence over any other values, so I've removed that part of the sentence.
It now reads simply:
- false - No official localization is available for the game.
Thank you for making the guide more accessible to stupid people just like me :)
The recent change is interesting. So far it was set to true, because an official localisation exists and ships with a version of the game, namely a retailversion. Now it could also be set to hackable with fan=<blank> , because a fan localisation is not available, however an official localisation is available in some form and can be hacked (aka modded) into the game.
PCWiki-Team, true or hackable, what do you believe ?
Hackable could apply to instances language files were left in the game, but never officially enabled or activated. I'm not aware of any setting to use Raiden V's Japanese voice track on PC.
