## Japanese
Chris Sawyer's website mentions there was also a Japanese version. This is supported by some screenshots and videos provided in chat and on the issue tracker. However, this version is very hard to find, at least when attempting to find it in English.
Examination of a TTP demo has shown some of its files (those belonging to the base game) contain Japanese translations (using ID 8, which was previously thought to be unused). These have been extracted and are now used in OpenRCT2. We don't know whether the G1.DAT from the Japanese version will be compatible with OpenRCT2, and because of this we recommend Japanese players to use the files from the non-Japanese version of RCT2.

## Russian
GOG has created its own translation of RCT2. It also comes with its own G1.DAT which has the non-ASCII characters replaced with Russian characters. This means that non-ASCII names from the regular version will not show up correctly in this version and vice versa. It also lacks a banner font, which causes all of them to appear blank.

The texts from both the game itself and the .DAT files have been extracted and are now used in OpenRCT2. It is recommended for Russian players to use the files from the regular (English) RCT2 version and not those from this less compatible Russian version.
# Strings in .DAT files
RCT2's DAT files contain translations. Each of them is preceded by a code. Strings are terminated with a 00 character.

# String presence between versions
Four versions of RCT2 have been examined: the disk version, the Russian GOG version, the TTP demo and the Steam version. The latter two appear to have the same files.
The disk version contains full translations for Korean, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese. For unknown reasons, the ride names in the TTP-demo/Steam versions are in English for those languages.
The Russian GOG version has its translations in the American English fields for the base game, and in the British English fields for the expansions. This mirrors the actual American English translation.
# OpenRCT2
Starting from 0.0.3, OpenRCT2 supports UTF-8. In addition, languages that RCT2 supported will also use the translations in the .DAT files in OpenRCT2, extra languages will use British English.
