Hi everyone,

As you might already have heard Valve retired the volunteer moderator program.

As a result it was discussed to retire certain things like pinned threads and guides, as some of them are simply not accurate anymore and worse, can not be maintained properly without the right tools.

This means we've retired the main guide that so many of you contributed to in the form of translations.

I can't express how sorry I am about doing that to all of you who put in countless hours translating these guides for the community, and am very grateful for you all doing that and making this such a big success.

I think it's only fair to let you guys decide what you want to do with 'your' guides, although it seems logical to me that they are all retired as well - things will change and we're honestly not sure what rules are being applied.

Thanks to Shadowlix we now have a Serbian translation!

Sure!

We've penned you down as a resource. Cheers.

I read it buts it's all Chinese to me

Remember it's all volunteer and thus you can't really say lazy, people are already doing more than they should.

I'm sure they will eventually get translated if they serve a purpose. Perhaps look around at STS for some more volunteers.

Thanks for adding naming and shaming. I'm sorry but I don't really understand the rest of what you are saying :(

Also added Brazilian Portuguese https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=747652498
