Toby Fox defends lack of Undertale and Deltarune translations beyond Japanese

Toby Fox, creator of Undertale and Deltarune, addressed fan frustrations over missing localizations in languages other than English and Japanese. In a Bluesky post on March 29, he explained that official translations must align with his vision, a standard he could only meet for Japanese. He apologized to international fans, particularly from Latin America, for his silence on the issue.

Toby Fox responded to complaints from Latin American fans after posting on X about the Japanese translation of OFF, a 2008 game re-released in 2025 by Fangamer. Users highlighted the absence of Spanish or other localizations for Undertale and Deltarune, with one remarking, “Translations seem to be a privilege nowadays, huh? For a game about inclusion, its creator seems to only care about Japanese people. ” Fox noted the backlash in responses to his Japanese-language post about OFF.
