Awesome, thank you! I can only think of positives that this would bring and am glad to hear you guys are discussing this!

I haven’t received any reply of my application still.

Hey there! We’d love to support more languages, but the right-to-left languages require a lot of engineering work for our engine to support. Stay tuned!

Just wanted to update everyone on the Translator Community – we’ve added the first batch of members, and you should have access to post in the private devforum category! We’ll continue to expand the community, but we may wait a few weeks until the next batch while we figure out how we want to set things up.

You can keep sending applications (please include a Talent Hub portfolio for easier review and consistency), but there may be a little bit of a wait until we get around to your application.

The automatic translations for gamepasses in my game have never been updated, causing products to have incorrect names/descriptions, any way for me to get that fixed? Game link: [UPD2 + x3šŸ€šŸŒŠ] Sword Simulator - Roblox

I appreciate translation tools being added, but I have a big problem with text capturing in my game since a while. I added many new text, and the automatic text capture is not capturing all the new text since months now.

I have a test version of the game that is identical, and in that game, text are getting captured. What could be wrong ? I made sure the ā€œAutomatic Text Captureā€ is turned on already.

Game where text are not captured: 🌵 Survive and Kill the Killers in Area 51 !!! - Roblox

Test game, identical to above, where text are getting captured: [ Content Deleted ] - Roblox

For now, I have to use the test game’s translation file and upload it to the main game everytime, which is very annoying…

What if there is secondary source language…

@Caelestene Current Translation Hub has experiences that unable to translate. Would be nice if able to filter out these.

We uploaded a CSV with several new languages yesterday and they still haven’t shown up in the game even after publishing. Is there some sort of time frame until the cloud localizations become available? The texts are all already listed in the localization hub.

Hi there! Can you submit a bug report under the Bug Reports section with a link to your game, your csv file, and information like repro steps and repro rate? We can work on debugging what’s going on in that thread.

Hey there! A few follow up questions:

  1. Can you elaborate on what experiences you are unable to translate?
  2. Regarding secondary source language – how would a secondary source language work? As in some of your source strings are in English but other source strings are in Spanish? If that’s the case, we will recommend that you use one language for your source strings. If you do want different languages, they we would recommend using the localization APIs + keys to swap out your strings.

2: My game’s original source language is Japanese, but machine-translation is unable from JP. Then, let it machine-translatable if there is second source language e.g. EN text exists there.

  1. Can you elaborate on what you’re not able to translate? For example, share screenshots
  2. As mentioned in the post, we currently only support English to other languages for Roblox Translate. But we are working on a multi-lingual model for experiences where the source language is not English.

Hey there, just to clarify, are you saying that for game passes, auto translations never appeared at all? Or are you saying that you’re expecting the auto translations to be updated (because they currently do not update automatically).

Hi there, your application is currently incomplete as your creator page on Talent Hub is not public. I think there are some moderation/text filter issues, so you may need to re-edit your profile and re-submit.

The next batch of members will be added in the next few weeks, so we will get back to your application in a few weeks. Thanks!
