Fix the technical half first.

Most "broken Chinese" in Western games isn't the translation. It's empty boxes where characters should be, lines that start with a comma, and a store page nobody checked.

FAQ

Before you buy

Something else? Write to business@yanlixing.com

Which one should I start with?

Adding Simplified Chinese: start with the free Dev Pack Lite. About to ship anything Chinese: run the Culture QA Checklist. Planning China content (a DLC, event, character or skins): get the DLC Kit.

Do I need to speak Chinese?

No. Everything is in English, and every Chinese term comes with its meaning. Have a native speaker check final text before you ship it.

How do I get the Kit after paying?

Straight after checkout you land on a download page, and the link also arrives by email.

Can I get an invoice for my studio?

Yes. Add your company name and tax ID at checkout and the invoice PDF comes with your receipt.

Is the Kit credited if I book a Sprint later?

Yes, the full $149 comes off the Culture Sprint.

What if the file doesn't work?

If a file is faulty, won't open, or isn't what this page describes, write within 14 days and you get a working file or a full refund. See the terms of sale.

What does "free" cost me?

Your email. You join China Radar Monthly: one email a month with China data on games like yours, and you can unsubscribe in one click. Use the files in your own projects; please don't resell or re-host them.
