We'd like to bring the game to even more languages, but we need some help. Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes is a game all about communication so language is key, and nobody knows how the game is meant to be played better than our own players.
We're currently looking for translators to help localize the game into:
- Arabic
- Chinese (Traditional)
- Korean
- Thai
- Ukrainian
These languages are almost done, but you can join us in Discord to give your feedback on them now:
- Chinese (Simplified)
- Czech
- Danish
- Finnish
- French
- German
- Hebrew
- Hungarian
- Italian
- Norwegian
- Portuguese (pt-BR)
- Portuguese (pt-PT)
- Russian
- Swedish
Want to help out?
Head over to our Discord server and check out the #localization channel and read the pinned post. You'll find instructions for how to sign up and can discuss with other translators in the community.
Thanks,

Original postHey everybody!
Super quick update: we've enabled Windows 64-bit support by default, so you might see a small update being downloaded. This allows players who download lots of mods (like, lots of mods) to use more memory and have more mods active at once.
If you use Windows 32-bit, no worries! You'll still get the 32-bit version.
