Cities: Skyline 2 has 12 languages announced. As a Ukrainian, I want to see my language as well. Due to the military and political situation in my country, many people are abandoning the Russian language, so my compatriots are abandoning the use of Russian. Therefore, the only option left for us is to play in English or wait for someone to release a mod. If the developers added Ukrainian to the game, it would help develop the Ukrainian community of urban planners, because unfortunately not everyone knows English. It will also help develop the trend of adding Ukrainian to games, which is still developing slowly (I know that various indie projects are adding Ukrainian, and the developers promised on Twitter that the same situation will happen with Hades II and Baldur's Gate 3). Also, the Ukrainian market is not small, there are almost as many Ukrainians in the world as Poles. So I hope for the support of my compatriots and people who want to develop more languages in the game. :D

In short, they don't do the localization, the publisher does.
Якщо коротко локалізацією займається видавець

Please, add ukrainian language to the game. We would be really thankful, if you do so.
Also, we created a steam topic similar to this, where more ukrainians ask for ukrainian localization.

Hello! I already wrote this in another topic, but if the profile topic is here, then I have to express myself here. Yes, I also want the Ukrainian language in the game, I really want it. Considering how great the first part of the game was, I can't imagine what could be better than adding my language to the game.

It doesn't work like that, unfortunately. They'd have to either hire a translator or have someone willing to do it for free
I understand that, but Cities: Skyline is not a game where there is a lot of text, if small indie companies can afford to translate the game, I doubt that it will be so expensive for Colossal order or Paradox Interactive.
I realize that there is a high probability that we will be ignored again, but we should at least try.
Worst case scenario, I hope the developers just make it easy to do custom localizations. Because, as far as I know, it's currently implemented terribly

I'm sure if YOU are willing to add the translation, and CO could be sure of the accuracy, maybe they would include. I don't know, I'm not speaking on behalf of the developers
Of course, I am not a professional translator, but I am ready to help on a volunteer basis. I don't know what the situation is with other CS localizations, but the Russian one has machine translation. Of course, I don't care how bad this localization is, but it's an interesting point.
For some reason, the developers ignore all topics about languages in the game. I have seen people writing about the addition of Turkish. Turkey is a big market, probably bigger than Poland. But they are also ignored. So I'm just waiting for a miracle, or news on CS2.
