Airport CEO

Airport CEO now available in Italian!



Ciao CEO dell'aeroporto!


Airport CEO is translated using the online crowd translation tool Localizor and as a result of all of your hard work we can now happily announce that as of today Italian is officially supported. This milestone is another great achievement made possible by our Italian community and we'd like to extend an additional thank you and appraisal to Francesco Orabona (frankieorabona) who's been a core contributor to this project and someone who's put massive effort into the translation project. Grazie mille!

Here are a few questions you might have relating to the new language...

How do I change language?


Launch into the game's main menu and go to the gameplay settings menu. Click on the preferred language's flag and accept the prompt by pressing "OK". The game will now reboot into your preferred language version.

Why is some text on the experimental branch not localized?


The experimental branch is our fast paced development branch where we primarily focus on implementing features and content. When new content is added, the text we produce for the interface is written in English and the translation of that text is automatically placed in a localization backlog. Once we've accumulated enough text, or once we deploy a new major update, the text in the backlog will be translated.

Why is some text on the default branch not localized?


The Alpha 34 update contains around 20% of the game's total amount of text, meaning that all of the new content added in this update has understandably not yet been fully translated. In most cases there's a few percent of each language that's not yet been translated, but as Airport CEO becomes more and more complete the text will eventually be fully translated.

Why is the word "[insert any word]" incorrectly translated?


Airport CEO consist of a lot of complex industry terminology. We would love your feedback on the language you've chosen in the game and you can send it directly to us via the bug reporting panel, or reach out to us via any of our social channels!

Can I help out translating?


Yes you can! Airport CEO is translated using Localizor and we'll always need your native language expert help on translating the texts of the game. Learn more about it here or head over immediately to Airport CEO on Localizor to get started!

Godere!

Update notes



While Alpha 34 of course is compatible with Alpha 33 saves, we highly recommend that you start a new airport and experience the new progression system, and everything else, from a fresh save. The tutorial has been updated and should guide you along the steps necessary for making sure that you hit the ground running with research development.

How do I get busy with research and development?

Head over to the staff tab and hire some admins! Make sure you have a staff room with office desks and they will quickly embark to those desks to begin their work.

How does the new rating system impact me?

In multiple ways! The new rating display, found in the lower right corner of the UI, is packed with hover tool tips that’ll instruct you on what each score represents and what you need to do in order to improve that score.

What about all those minor changes you’ve made, how do I find them?

Go discover them! The change log is there to aid you in what is new, if you can’t find something or if something doesn’t activate or makes sense then please let us know.



As per usual we'll of course monitor the health of this deployment and be back with updates as necessary.

Enjoy!
