For Swift Student Challenge, must all content be in English?

Hello all,

I was wondering in the Swift Student Challenge requirements, it states: All content should be in English. What if my game is mainly in English (UI, main content,) but some foreign language (glyph to be specific) is used as part of app. The judge should be able to use the app without any fluency other than English. Will including some foreign language disqualify my entry?

Thank you so much for answering my question.

But, as you saw:

All content should be in English.

It depends on the app. Imagine it is a translator, why not.

Will including some foreign language disqualify my entry?

What have you in mind more precisely ? What would be in a non english language ?

But I understand the requirement as : the app must be useable by someone speaking english only.

  • Thank you. I will be using some foreign language glyphs in the app. The user should be able to use the app with knowledge of English only.

    Thanks again for taking the time to answer.

Hi @Nicoyev, I asked for clarification and Claude31's answer is correct. You are allowed to use non-English text in your Playground, but make sure that it is usable by someone who only knows English.

  • Thank you so much for the clarification. Greatly appreciated.
