Polyglot is a collaborative effort to provide translations of common gaming terms (such as Save, New Game, Settings, You Won!, Inventory Full...) into all 25 languages Steam supports plus a few others.

Some of them (such as Arabic, which isn't supported by Steam, but still there) have a long way to go. Others are "100%", but it couldn't hurt to have native speakers proof-read them.

So check it out! Help if you can. And maybe it'll be of use to you!

thanks, it is very useful.
as I remember in UE4 there is a similar built in localization system.

Oh, does it? Like, common phrases/words for translation? Or tools/functions to facilitate translation?

I read it more carefully, and no, no automatic solution, I was wrong. But it has a localization system: https://docs.unrealengine.com/latest/INT/Gameplay/Localization/Overview/index.html
