311 [BOTES] benlisquare Member 1,179 posts 4,293 battles Report post #4 Posted August 22, 2017 (edited) If you install the English locale version of the Asia game client, you can only display Roman letters, Cyrillic letters, and Thai. Everything else will be boxes. If you install the Japanese locale version of the Asia game client, you can display Roman letters, Cyrillic letters, Japanese Kanji/Hiragana/Katakana, and Korean Hangul. Simplified Chinese and Thai will appear as boxes. If you install the Traditional Chinese locale version of the Asia game client, you can display Roman letters, Cyrillic letters, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, and Japanese Kanji/Hiragana/Katakana. Thai and Korean Hangul will display as boxes. I'm not sure about the Thai and Korean versions of the game, because I have not tried those yet.

Go to where you installed WoWS. Find a folder called res Open locale_config.xml with notepad or something If you are using English, and want to support Japanese, Edit this particular row into something that I bolded. (For other languages just change it accordingly) Quote <locale_config> <locale_id>en</locale_id> <text_path>../res/texts</text_path> <text_domain>global</text_domain> <!-- acceptLang is comma delimited ordered list of language codes without any whitespace that will be used in the "Accept-Language" HTTP header. --> <lang_mapping> <lang acceptLang="ru" fonts="RU" full="russian" languageBar="false" localeRfcName="ru" short="ru"/> <lang acceptLang="en,ja" fonts="ASIA" full="japanese" languageBar="false" localeRfcName="en" short="en"/> <lang acceptLang="de,en" fonts="EU" full="german" languageBar="false" localeRfcName="de" short="de"/> <lang acceptLang="pl,en" fonts="EU" full="polish" languageBar="false" localeRfcName="pl" short="pl"/> <lang acceptLang="fr,en" fonts="EU" full="french" languageBar="false" localeRfcName="fr" short="fr"/> <lang acceptLang="es,en" fonts="EU" full="spanish" languageBar="false" localeRfcName="es" short="es"/> <lang acceptLang="cs,en" fonts="EU" full="czech" languageBar="false" localeRfcName="cs" short="cs"/> <lang acceptLang="tr,en" fonts="EU" full="turkish" languageBar="false" localeRfcName="tr" short="tr"/> <lang acceptLang="it,en" fonts="EU" full="italian" languageBar="false" localeRfcName="it" short="it"/> <lang acceptLang="ja,en" fonts="ASIA" full="japanese" languageBar="false" localeRfcName="ja" short="ja"/> <lang acceptLang="zh-Tw,en" fonts="CN" full="tchinese" languageBar="true" localeRfcName="zh-tw" short="zh_tw"/> <lang acceptLang="th,en" fonts="TH" full="thai" languageBar="false" localeRfcName="th" short="th"/> <lang acceptLang="ko,en" fonts="KO" full="koreana" languageBar="false" localeRfcName="ko" short="ko"/> <lang acceptLang="zh-Cn,en" fonts="CN" full="schinese" languageBar="true" localeRfcName="zh-cn" short="zh_cn"/> <lang acceptLang="pt-Br,pt,en" fonts="EU" full="brazilian" languageBar="false" localeRfcName="pt-br" short="pt_br"/> <lang acceptLang="uk,ru,en" fonts="RU" full="ukrainian" languageBar="false" localeRfcName="uk" short="uk"/> <lang acceptLang="es-Mx,es,en" fonts="EU" full="mexican" languageBar="false" localeRfcName="es-mx" short="es_mx"/> <lang acceptLang="be,ru,en" fonts="RU" full="belorussian" languageBar="false" localeRfcName="be" short="be"/> </lang_mapping> </locale_config> Restart your game and voila, now you can read the Japanese character instead of white boxes, while in full English interface Edited August 31, 2017 by theref 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
