Version 1.7 of the Italian localization OXP for Oolite is out. This version is compatible with Oolite v1.77. See top post for details and download link.

Has producing localisation oxps become vastly more difficult since v.1.77?

And if so, what changed?

Yes. The change that makes it more difficult is that planet descriptions must now be handwritten for all 2048 systems. That's a LOT of work. Certainly feasible, but I don't think that many people would want to sit through 2048 paragraphs of text (unless they don't mind potentially botched translations coming from AI or whatever). Of course, getting rid of the procedural rules used to generate the planet description texts could be seen also as an advantage, but yeah, the main issue is the volume of text data that has to be translated and the hardship in quality controlling the result.

Also, the amount of generic text in pretty much all game files has increased quite a bit since 1.77.
