When the device is set to a language other than English, there will be an additional category in the settings menu, for language support.
As Splatoon 2 frequently adds new items and stages, the currently saved translations will be missing translations for the new items. Items that are missing their translation will begin with an asterisk (*). Clicking the first setting under the language category will trigger the download of an updated language file, with the missing translations. Once it downloads, refreshing the widgets will fix the missing translations.
These languages specifically are supported because they are languages available on
splatoon2.ink, and these translations are what Splat2 Widgets uses. Dynamic text (Like map names, gear names, etc, things that rotate constantly) use those translations, which
should be correct, because AFAIK,
splatoon2.ink gets those translations from SplatNet's servers.
Static text (Like UI elements, text like "Main Ability: <abilityname>" and such) however, had to be translated manually by me, using an online translator.
This is where I will need help and input from the Splatoon community. Because I used an online translator (Microsoft Translator to be exact), I guarantee that there are likely incorrect translations strewn about the widgets. What I ask, is that if you see an incorrect translation in Splat2 Widgets, to send me an email at
datreesezcup@gmail.com with the language you are using, the text that is incorrect, and what it should be corrected to.
