Another new language! And this is a very interesting one, since it's based on Nicalis' translation for 3DS and Switch (with their go-ahead). Which means I had to convert between two completely different language file formats, which was some work, but it's totally worth it! Naturally, there are a lot of missing strings, so a translator will still need to fill in all the blanks (and maintain the translation for new strings of course)
