Hi @PMCParil !

I could not find this issue in the ingame campaigns. Do you know one that have this issue?

Thanks!

Hey,

This likely doesn’t happen in the official campaigns. It’s only third party stuff. I assume that this all looks correct if you’re using a Chinese language with the game, but the text doesn’t line-break at all if you’re viewing Chinese text on an English version.

If you look for any Chinese language campaigns on the workshop, you’ll run into this fairly quickly. I can send you mod IDs if you want specific examples.

Yes please give me an example and I investigate if it could be fixed by our side :smiley:

The first mission of this campaign’s Hints dialog will show the issue quite clearly.
This is how the Hints dialog looks in Simplified Chinese language mode:

And in English:

What’s weird to note here is that the line breaks are in completely different places between the two languages.

Ahh I see the problem now

Thanks for this! We are now tracking this isue ^-^
