RCT2 used its own encoding, which is based on [Windows-1252](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows-1252). It has support for characters used in the above languages, but not much more.
# OpenRCT2
Currently, OpenRCT2 can support the Latin languages RCT2 supported. In addition, languages written in the Latin alphabet that have no special characters not supported by RCT2 can also be added - Hungarian is an example. In addition, languages that RCT2 supported will also use the translations in the .DAT files in OpenRCT2, extra languages will use British English.
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.
OpenRCT2 does not currently support languages in other alphabet. Translations _will_ get accepted however, but not enabled until support for them is added.
The languages that are available in OpenRCT2:
**Fully Translated**
* English (UK)
* English (US)
* Dutch
* German
* Traditional Chinese
* Korean
**Work In Progress**
* Finnish
* French
* Hungarian
* Italian
* Russian
* Spanish
* Simplified Chinese
* Swedish
* Polish
* (Brazilian) Portuguese
As OpenRCT2 supports UTF-8 now, every translations _will_ get accepted. However, newly added languages will not be enabled until options for them are added.
# Plans
OpenRCT2 is planning to switch to UTF-8 to support a wide array of languages. Font support will also have to be added, as the current font is a bitmap font with only glyphs for the languages mentioned earlier.
# Contributing
Languages are maintained in [the Localisation repository](https://github.com/OpenRCT2/Localisation). You can submit new languages or corrections for existing ones there. Changes are merged into the main repository every night.
