Todo: Port all translations to Template:Software status, before deprecating this template and turning it into a template redirect like Template:Banned spammer does.

Translations

Some used strings are on the regular Game release's strings subpage. Please follow the format to add translations for them.
To edit/translate the ProtonDB and the Steam purchase/free download link, please edit the main template itself instead due to a bug which requires workaround.
