I'm preparing to publicly publish my map project. I am based in NA and would also like to publish it in EU. Does anyone know if there are any considerations I need to be aware of before publishing to EU? Is localization something I need to worry about, or is that just for changing languages? Basically I'm trying to figure out if I can post the same unaltered map file to both NA and EU at the same time.
Localization could be an issue, because the publisher needs to open the map with his own map editor, which will use a different language version and editing the map texts with 2 different language versions usually causes localization issues. However, I am not sure, if just the act of opening the map and publishing it without any changes will produce issues, however I read many reports of this being the case.
So, just to be on the save side, I suggest to localize your version of the map to the editor language of your publisher before sending it over, like described here.
