Language sets

The minimum recommended set of languages for attracting the most traffic to the game:

  • Russian
  • Turkish
  • Chinese
  • Korean
  • Hindi
  • Vietnamese
  • English

Auto-detection of language

To automatically determine which language to display the game in for the user, use the portal language specified in the i18n.lang parameter.

To ensure the game opens successfully in the appropriate localization, on the Draft tab, be sure to specify whether it has been translated into the selected language (point 8.2.3). For instructions on how to publish the game in different languages, see the Filling out the draft page.

Note

Auto-detection of language is mandatory (point 2.14), but the game may have a setting to switch to another language manually.

If you are hosting a game on your own domain with CSP enabled, make sure that the game starts up correctly in all the domains specified above.

In addition to the main domains, we recommend adding a wildcard for subdomains: *.yandex.{tld}, where {tld} denotes all the domains listed above.

Testing the game in different languages

To test the game in another language, launch it with the debug panel and use the Choose Game Lang parameter.

Warning

Language switching only works when the debug panel is enabled.
