ENLIGHTENMENT just became accessible to over a billion more people. Starting today, the game supports five new languages: French, Russian, Spanish, Portuguese, and Tagalog — bringing the total to 11 languages with full UI translations.
The New Languages
Each language includes a complete translation of the game interface — all 501 UI strings, from menus and settings to wallet labels, Level progression, Ambassador verification, and the World Map. Switch your language anytime from the settings menu.

Technical Details
Each language dictionary is a 501-key JSON file loaded dynamically by the game frontend. The translation system uses a cache-busting fetch with a safe fallback to English if a translation file is missing or malformed. Technical terms like Cash Coin, KC, Plasma, Wallet, Ambassador, Level, and Enlightenment remain in English across all languages to preserve game identity and avoid confusion with blockchain terminology.
The blog you are reading right now is also available in all 10 other languages — use the language selector to switch.
What’s Next?
