See this post on more info: http://flarerpg.org/blog/20130315
If you've helped translate Flare in the past, it'd be great if you can update again for v0.18. If you translated before but are unable to now, please send me a message so that we'll know to invite others to help on that language.
I can help if the spanish translator is not availabe

I'm a Chinese player ,and I'm testing a translation for Chinese.
I choose my language but it doesn't work (see Screenshot - 04052013 - 02:17:39 PM.png ).
Usually it is caused by using a font incompatible with Chinese words.
But I don't know how to use another font .

I know it is too late for a translation for 0.18,
but I just want to have a try and contribute to the next version.

You shoiuld look into
flare-game/mods/fantasycore/engine/font_settings.txt
and do the same for Chinese (redefine font)
Note language name from two characters, it should be the same in both font_settings.txt and languages.txt
ha,it does work.
I just finished the test of Chinese translation.
The only problem is that i cannot find a free font that supports Chinese chars at present.
but I'm sure I can find one and your suggestions are welcomed.
my next work is to finish other .po files.
and I'll finish alll soon .
I hope I can contribute to the translation of the next version of FLARE.
Because I may be offline most of time ,I hope sb can inform me by email

I thought unifont-5.1.ttf supports Chinese...
searching for "chinese" on http://packages.debian.org/stable/fonts gives these true type fonts:

Some time ago, I ran through the long package descriptions of all fonts in Debian. I seem to recall that there were even more mentions of chinese or kanji.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_CJK_fonts list some CJK fonts
M+ covers (most of the) Japanese characters http://mplus-fonts.sourceforge.jp/mplus-outline-fonts/index-en.html
