Other languages?

I have a friend who will translate my UGC into french. What's the best way to provide support for a second language?

Should I publish 2 versions? Or change the dialog to support either perhaps? (That seems tricky at best.)

Does that Foundry have any support for selecting the language? If (assuming the author provided more than 1 version) it would let you see/choose the language, that would be great.

I'm almost finished with my first UGC, and I have a bilingual friend who will translate it into French for me. But I'm not sure how to implement it... Do I copy the entire quest (and risk those duplicate bugs), or do I try to integrate a second language into every dialogue (making everything more complicated).

I suppose I could have an interactable 'language selection item' at the beginning, which would drop a token representing which language you chose. Then, I could change every dialog to enable based on which item you were carrying.

Has anyone done multi-language support well?

That would work, but it has one big flaw. As long there is no OR statement to objectives, you will not be able to do objective dialogues this way. They will have to be common for every choice.
