Hello everybody,


Since the launch of Humankind, we've gotten a lot of feedback, ranging from suggestions for gameplay or interface changes to reports of bugs or crashes. Among this feedback, we've also seen some reports of problems with in-game text or localization, and these reports in particular are invaluable to us to spot any issues that slipped through our proof reading.

For ease of reference, we'd like to collect all these reports here in this sub-forum. Whether it's a single missing letter, a phrase that does not sound natural in your language, or perhaps an idiom that does not work in your language, please report any problems you notice with the texts in game in the appropriate language subforum!


Before you report a new issue, please check the appropriate forum to see if the problem has already been reported. If it has, feel free to add suggestions to the existing thread.

If it has not, then please create a new thread. Ideally you should provide:

  1. The version number in brackets (e.g. [v1.0.01.0059]) as shown in the top right of the pause menu.
  2. A concise, descriptive summary of the issue as the thread title
  3. The text involving the issue. Please highlight the problem you have noticed in the text (e.g. by making it bold).
  4. Where you encountered the text in game. This can be a description (e.g. Naming an event in which you noticed a problem, naming a specific screen on which you spotted something), or a screenshot (ideally highlighting the relevant bit of text)
  5. (Optional) a suggested change


Thank you to everybody who takes the time to report these problems to help us address them.
