This is, on the grand scheme of things in the game, really not a big issue at all. And I'm sure that the only person this really affects is me, and I'm just delusional. However, this would be so easy to implement, that it may as well be done. So in the settings you can change the system of measurements from Imperial to Metric. However, you can also change it to a setting called 'British'. This is because we measure long distances in miles, but everything else in the Metric System, because we're weird. Here's the thing though. In the vehicle parts selector, for example, everything is labelled under American English, so for example the 'Tow hitch', whereas in Britain we say 'Tow bar', or they say 'Hood' and 'Trunk', whereas we say 'Bonnet' and 'Boot', or another example is the 'License plate', which we call a 'Number plate'. Americans also say 'customize', whereas we say 'customise', and etcetera etcetera, I could go on and on. My point is that currently everything is named under American English, whereas us British people (and, factually speaking, every European that is learning English should) speak in British English. So therefore, it would be nice so that, when the 'British' option is enabled in the settings, all of the names of the car parts and stuff like that turns into British English. I understand that this is not really a big issue at all, and that most of you reading this are probably saying "Why does this idiot think that any of us care", but truthfully, I care, and it would be nice for this to be implemented. Furthermore, I'm no developer, but I'm pretty sure that this is something that could be done very very quickly, and probably in the time it takes to have a lunch break, for example. The devs could just get a British developer to rename everything to be in British English when that option is selected in the settings, and then could just release that next update/hotfix. Thanks a lot for reading my yap, even if this doesn't get seen by any devs, which it most likely won't, it has been nice to waffle to a brick wall. Love you devs! (P.S. It would be really nice to have British content such as a brand or even a map in the game)
A unit setting I would personally like to see is "automatic", which switches between metric and and imperial depending on the map you're currently loaded in.
This isn't easy to implement, though. No parts have translation ids and are all in plain text in JBeam. It could be a substantial amount of work to change slot names and part names for every vehicle AND then also add translations for every supported language. The same goes for units on variables, which are also set to e.g. PSI in the JBeam itself (although to be fair this does support preset units and could be adjusted to user settings).
Oh right, sorry for the misunderstanding. I just thought that the display names in JBeam had their own translations for other languages, so there could also be an additional language for British English, but I guess not lol. Thanks for informing me!
