Nimi Visuals 20261108 released, now in 12 languages!

 

Today, we are releas­ing the lat­est build of Nimi Visuals 20261108, which aside few fixes ​and being recompiled us­ing current shar­ed toolcha­in — introduces local­ization ​for 11 languages alongside English:

  • Arabic,
  • Chin­ese (simplified),
  • Hindi,
  • Indon­esian,
  • Japan­ese,
  • Korean,
  • Polish,
  • Portuguese (Brazilian),
  • Russian,
  • Spanish,
  • Turkish.

Like earlier this year with Nimi Places, we hope to add more local­izations ​in the future, ​and we sincerely apologize to all Users whose native languages are not yet includ­ed. We encourage everyone to use the provid­ed local­ization ​and specifica­tion as a founda­tion ​and inspira­tion ​for creating their own versions, ​and to share them with­in their local communities. We also welcome any sugges­tions that could help refine ​or further enhance the existing local­izations.

Local­ization template

Distribu­tion package con­tains bundled local­ization template (with .ignore extension) con­taining strings that are used by given build of Nimi Places.

We would like to emphasize that historic­ally, Nimi Visuals was dis­tribut­ed with multi­ple local­izations; yet with the passage of time ​and changes to local­ization handling, those were remov­ed under various circumstances. To clarify, since its initial launch back ​on August 8, 2008, the project thriv­ed ​on commu­nity feedback ​and the pre­sence of grow­ing local­izations over the years, pioneering deep system custom­ization con­cepts well before the emergence of modern desktop modding frameworks.

However, as external operating systems rapidly evolv­ed ​and past social communica­tion channels shift­ed ​or closed, project develop­ment slow­ed down ​and ultimately practic­ally halt­ed from 2015 onward. Nonetheless, this year, Nimi Visuals develop­ment has been actively resumed, with multi­ple releases this year alone, focusng ​on ensuring support ​for both legacy ​and the lat­est operating systems.
