Since some quest editors(like me and myself) do speak other primary languages, rather than english, they may want to write games in them. Every time I try to write Greek in quest, the resulting font seems Greek to me (As a native english speaker would say). Is it possible that a future version of quest fully supports fonts for other languages, such as Greek? Is there any support in present versions?

What happens exactly when you try to use a Greek font? As far as I know, it should work nicely. I am planning on adding support for easier foreign-language game creation though. Ultimately this would include packages which set default responses in a multitude of languages. I would need a bit of help with this though! The only language that I can speak other than English is French, and I'm not particularly good at that.

The outcoming font is incomprehentible. On QDK, nothing can outcome right. Probably the font used by QDK doesn't support greek. Do you know how to change it?

So is the problem JUST in QDK? If you try creating an ASL file using a text editor, do things display correctly?
It shouldn't be terrifically difficult to add an option to change the QDK font (although it will be quite tedious for me, I'm sure I can cope :)

I will give it a try. But I must use set the font option different than default. I'll tell you what happened as soon as I try it...

Hi, Alex
if you need help in translating string ressources of Quest and/or the QDK into German language I would like to assist you. I am really interested in writing games for German speaking users and if you send me a list of ressources I could provide you with an German translation. For me, it would be more interesting to have a German interpreter (Quest) since I have no problem using the English QDK.

I could translate Quest into slovak language.
