Folks,
I appreciate that North America mostly calls the season Autumn "Fall", however it really does my head in. With the new seasonal model for the time of year I find it frustrating. Is there a config file where I can change it?

this should be in the translatables, along with "pants".

Why Unity5, WHY do you forsake me?

Thanks Skullwag,
file was under Mods/Core/Languages/English/Keyed, and the file was Time.XML

Changed and fixed!

So now to fix trousers, spuds, and so many others to make it really "English"  ;D

Cheers mate
Never understood why the Americans went and changed all that lot around, perfectly fine where it was. Oh well.

Least the date was the right way around previously.

But yeah, localisation such as "Armour Vests" would be nice.

+1 for being exactly what i needed!
Look for me on the KSP forums!
Rimworld. The game where getting a cannibal psychopath with bloodlust is a good thing.

Ugh the American date system is something I've just never understood. I mean Day-Month-Year; that makes sense right? At the most basically it's small medium large. But for some strange reason they do Month-Day-Year. I cannot for the life of me figure out why they prefer that system.

You could even make a translation for British English if you want. The translation system would totally support it.

Though I'm sorry the default English language uses the Union Jack :p It didn't seem right to use an American flag, especially considering I talk like this and I'm not American.

Somebody should just make a translation for Klingon.
I like how this game can result in quotes that would be quite unnerving when said in public, out of context. - Myself

The dubious quotes list is now public. See it here

The reason we changed it I think is because Brits are EVIL ! And we wanted to differentiate ourselves from them. :)   OOH  you say you aren't evil?  Who but an evil person could come up with something as terrible as DR Who??  Alumineeyum !!! 

Just kidding , but not really as I am pretty sure that's why these spellings etc were changed. Because back after we won independence we wanted to be different because those guys kinda thought Brits were bad.  I like Brits ! well the women folk anyways haha:)

I'm Australian and I don't spell like a yank :P. Def should use the American flag if it uses the wrong American English spellings.

Would very much like an English translation tho.

Or the Canadian one :p

Then we can have our own language with our flag haha

I had english lessons since I was 7 and went on with secondary school 8 lessons /week, then took part in international youth trainings from participant to supervisor - communication only in english...Trust me :D

American english is just lazy and wanted as much simplicity as possible. It is not a black-or-white good or bad thing. This is a big advantage to become widely "spoken" language. Brittish english - what a surprise - is much more locked on traditions, and so keeping on formalities even if it makes challenging to use. So "optimal" for RimWorld would be between the two: diverse words to have one meaning by one word, but simple enough to stay simple and straightforward

So Autumn would fit, no matter if it is canonized brittish word or a trend from any decade of american history.
