Toby Fox Explains Language Barriers Behind Undertale and Deltarune Localizations

Toby Fox explained on Bluesky that Undertale has no official translations beyond Japanese because he wants translations to match his vision and worked closely with a translator for Japanese; translating Deltarune into other languages isn’t feasible development‑wise, as it could delay releases. While some fans defended the decision, Fox suggested he may pursue different localization approaches in the future but offered no guarantees.

"Unveiling the Consequences: The Plundering of Language in 'Translations'"

"Unveiling the Consequences: The Plundering of Language in 'Translations'"

The Irish Repertory Theater presents an exquisite revival of Brian Friel's play "Translations," directed by Doug Hughes. Set in 1833 in the fictional town of Ballybeg, the play explores the consequences of anglicizing Irish place-names and erasing the native tongue. The characters, beautifully portrayed by the actors, grapple with questions about language, identity, and the connection between people and their homes. Friel's work highlights the importance of reimagining the plight of those affected by imperial appetites for deeper understanding.
