## 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.

# 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. An asterisk means that the translation is present, but not used.

# Encoding
For Latin languages, RCT2 used its own encoding, which is based on [Windows-1252](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows-1252). It replaces some characters that RCT2 does not use with formatting codes and Polish characters. This does have the side effect that there is no support for Danish, Norwegian and Icelandic, as the æ, ø and ð are missing, even though there _is_ support for Swedish. Support for Finnish is not complete either, but only š and ž are missing, which (according to Wikipedia) are only used in loanwords.
The Polish characters have been encoded as follows:
|Hex code|Dec code|Windows-1250|Windows-1252|RCT2-Polish|

# 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.

Using UTF-8 makes adding new languages a lot easier. In theory, OpenRCT2 could be made to work with any language now, as long as Unicode supports it. The languages that are currently available in OpenRCT2 can be found [here](https://github.com/OpenRCT2/Localisation#language-status).
If a newly added language uses the Latin or Cyrillic alphabet, the sprite font is typically used (see the section below). If letters are missing, the sprite font will be extended to include them, or TTF will be used instead.

RCT2 uses its own bitmap font/sprite font. It has support for the characters in its own encoding, but no others.
OpenRCT2 has extended the sprite font with several letters and other glyphs:
- Ææ and Øø were added to display Norwegian and Danish.
- Ğğ, İ, Şş and ı were added to display Turkish.
- Ăă, ȘȘ and Țț were added to display Romanian.
- Őő and Űű were added to display Hungarian.
- The interpunct (·) was added to display Catalan.
- Čč, Ďď, Ěě, Ňň, Řř, Šš, Ťť, Ůů, Ýý and Žžare were added to display Czech.
- German opening quotation marks („), the ellipsis (…) and the guilder sign (ƒ) were added.
- The Russian sprite font, as seen in the GOG version, was also added (but in a compatible way). It was extended further by creating glyphs for the banner font and adding support for Ёё (yo).
