Hello,

I want to play my game in several languages​​, but as I detect the language used by the user's device?

Thank you very much!

    @ismael_roca@hotmail.com well i've seen multi billion dollar games with a start up screen, asking the player to select its language. I guess you can do away with that, unless you working for EA i suppose :P . Don't blame GS right away.

    As far as I'm aware you can't detect the language automatically, you'd have to implement a change language button yourself. I'd advise using flag images for the various languages, and have the current selected language flag shown on the change language button itself, so that the user can navigate to and change the language without having to be able to read the language currently set. In other words, images not text :)

    Thank you for your quick response!

    I guess it's a limitation of GS because most language games automatically change as we change the device language.
