Kenshi Update: Localisation Improvements and Bug Fixes

Despite not officially updating Kenshi, Lo-Fi's team has released a new update with some minor additions that affect all versions. The update includes a fix for an issue that caused the options screen to use the default font size and the addition of default keybinds to make SteamDeck/controller configurations easier to set up.

Small Localisation Updates for Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil), German, French & Japanese

Lo-Fi's Localisation Team has been working on Kenshi's non-dialogue related text, including UI, tips, and item descriptions for inconsistencies, mistranslations, and language-specific issues. The team has completed the corrections for Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil), German, French, and Japanese. Here are some of the key changes:

Spanish

The team fixed many inconsistencies in gamedata, corrected mistranslated words, and used correct tenses for skill-related verbs. Most of the lore-related notes and documents are re-translated and should be easier to read compared to the previous translations.

German

• Quotation marks and ellipses (…) are now properly displayed. No more text gaps!
  
• Translated previously untranslated text
  
• Fixed text overflow on certain UI elements
  
• Some incorrect skill name translations were fixed
  
• Generic NPC names are now correctly gendered to match the NPC’s gender
  
• Fixed many naming inconsistencies, including Rebirth and the Skeleton race
  
• Skimmers now retain their English name and Skimsands was accordingly changed to “Skimwüste”
  
• The “Gutters” faction is now correctly called “Ausweider”
  
• Reworked many UI texts, item descriptions, tips and tutorials to fix errors and increase legibility
  

Portuguese (Brazil)

All the game interface (except dialogues) has been reviewed and polished in Portuguese. The team fixed typos, grammar, and UI display issues, and improved consistency within gameplay and lore elements. Generic NPC names now display according to the specific character's gender, and instructional text and item descriptions have been mostly re-written for improved clarity.

French

The team fixed untranslated text that used to appear in English, improved translation of some GUI elements, and fixed some errors with items and their descriptions. Generic names now display according to the character’s gender.

Japanese

The team translated some previously untranslated texts into Japanese, and edited some instructional and help texts for easier reading. Speed-related displays such as miles/hr are shown in Japanese.

Item weight bug fix for Simplified Chinese

The team fixed a bug that made the weight of items display incorrectly in Simplified Chinese. The weights of all items should now display correctly.
