Languages/programming

[Thorium]

If the game is already translated into Portuguese and Spanish, are not included in this new version?, I do not cost much to add as many languages ​​as you want.

How do you know how much space a language costs?
Not all languages was been included in the last reprint because of limited space on the cart.

Thorium , perhaps the guy is reffering to the money cost os the languages, perhaps??? Anyway space on cartridge or money to translate its the same and take a lot of work/space I think!!!

I was referring to the space in the cartridge. I do not know how a game is made, but I imagine that the dialogues were in a file with all texts. Nor can it hold that in the total of the cartridge and just my curiosity was that if the game was translated into those languages ​​work is done, if not included due to space or was for commercial reasons.
I hope that my question was not offended anyone.
Thanks for the replies.
A greeting.

No offenses Clark its a pleasure to argue about something here!!! Mate I think (its my personal beliefs) that the reason for the idioms its about space on the cartridge cause I think that if its possible WM have put all the idioms in all cartridges, I read here in the forums that just a little space remains on the cartridge in the final copy, but wait a little and I bet that someone will answer us about that!!!

I am not very good at programming but I don't think that the languages are in an separated file! I am pretty sure, those are just strings within the whole source code or something else.

check this out!

anyway it's always due to space limitation. that is the reasons why there are different versions with different language instead different version with all version each or only one version! the cartridge has 'only' 64megaBIT. normal Sega MegaDrive/Genesis Cartridges didn't have more than 32mbit

//edit: this discussion should not be in the order section!!!
