I love these different voices you can configure a team with. (My favorite one is "robot" with "star hogs")

As a non-native english speaker, is it sometimes a bit difficult to understand the hogs, especially slangs - but it is still very interesting!

My question: Is there a kind of subtitle feature, so you can read the comments of the hogs? If not, would this be a good feature to implement in a future version? (e. g. for english learners, deaf people, ...)

I think that the voices are more intended as flavour, so there wasn't any major plan to add text, although certainly doable. Given all the other stuff we are behind on, I think it is likely that if you wanted that localised you'd have to add it yourself. Wink Smiley

We *do* have a localisation system for the audio of voices. The problem is lack of contributions. So far only the Default voice is localised and even that in just a few locales.

This exists right now, and if you want more stuff in your locale, please consider doing a recording or getting a friend to do one!

Well, you can't say that I did not contribute new voices (in German, for example), it's just that apparently nobody wants them. :P

Hm. My vague recollection Wuzzy was that you hadn't really followed the suggestions from his audio guide and the sound quality was pretty bad (bad mic or echo). But maybe we could put them on DLC for people to try for themselves? As far as I'm concerned the quality doesn't have to be quite as high for a localisation since the benefit of localisation helps compensate.

Yeah, I remember that. But I have released several new revisions of my main German voicepack then. Was the newest version 3.1 also taken into consideration?

i think Subtitle is optional,,, but its good if we have them in HW,,, Even HW Is not like others game that "You need Know The Stories",,, that make them need the subtitles

i just thinking if hog say something then a Bubble come with the subtitle (with small font),,, thats maybe be +plus point,,,

Its Developer choices now,,, but i vote +1 for Subtitles !
