Translation Project
The original Mario Kart Wii supports 7 languages: English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean and Spanish.
The plan is to add more additional languages to the game. If you would like to collaborate with the translations to any language (even if it's not added yet), you can join the translation Discord server here.
