Several players have requested that I make my mission scripts available in other languages. I will probably get the spoken dialogue from one or two missions translated into German this spring, and perhaps Japanese this summer.
That won't affect the console labels, but at least you would have the choice so interact with ships that speak in those languages.
"Damn the torpedoes! Four bells, Captain Drayton!"
