As of right now, Community Patch mostly supports languages that use non English Audio (French, German, and Italian). Due to time constraints, the following missions will not have community patch content if played with those languages. This will be corrected when we have the time.
- Priority: Mars
- Priority: Sur'Kesh
Languages that still use English Audio, like Russian, will work with Community Patch. However, translations of the game's script files (tlk) are needed for text changes to show up in said languages. If you would like to translate text for the Community Patch, please contact a member of the team.
