Chinese (Simplified) is supposed to be an officially supported language in TSW. However, every DLC released since Frankfurt S-Bahn Thomas 80th (not including it) have been missing Chinese support, which is bad for players using Chinese as their native language.

Although I speak English, I have heard this from my foreign language friends. It seems the recent DLCs have only supported English and German. They seemingly have dropped Chinese, Spanish, French, and Russian without discussion or warning. For what is a standard and expected feature based on precedent, that is incredibly poor. Cutting off entire languages from new content will not work in favour of the game's long term prospects. Especially as new DLC offers new regions. DTG needs to rectify this. For TSW5 and TSW6.
