This group, which has been working for years on titles like Baldur's Gate or Neverwinter Night, contacted the developers to make it possible.
Disco Elysium was one of the surprises of 2019. The ZA / UM RPG has met with critical acclaim and has garnered prizes at several of the most reputable competitions, including awards from BAFTA Games, the British Academy of Motion Picture Arts. However, one of the conditions to play this video game was to understand English. With this barrier of entry, many Spanish speakers were left out and could not enjoy the work. This impediment will be blurred thanks to the Clan DLAN translation, which will become the official one, as the group has announced through its official forums.
Dogen from the translation team has anticipated “great news” in her thread's headline. “A very important direct member of the ZA / UM studio has contacted me to convert our unofficial translation into the official translation of Disco Elysium from now on,” he announces. "This means that our translation will officially become part of the current languages that the game has (English and Simplified Chinese), and that our language will be selectable in the drop-down list of the options menu instead of installing the patch in a non- official".

They work to get it there as soon as possible
According to him, this has many repercussions, since he is now in direct contact with them, which means that they will work together "to bring the translation soon". The team has received official materials that will help them “in the revision phase”, which will take place “soon”, since “the texts are practically finished”. Dogen assures that soon there will be new news and that in principle the beta continues, but that this could change depending on how events unfold.
Clan DLAN sent a message to the studio in October 2019 and offered to be the official one. At that time, they did not get a response: "We are trying," they explained in the message, "but ZA / UM does not respond to any of us who tried to contact them. We are currently investigating on our own whether we can perform the unofficial translation, but it will take time. ”
Elysium Disc is now available on PC, but will go on sale later on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.
