I18N

Multilingual App Support

The interface, Advisor responses, and Chronicle output now support English, German, French, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese.

AI App Connections

MCP Relay brings your campaign context to local AI tools

Version 0.8.0 adds a production MCP Relay so local AI apps can ask Stellaris Companion for campaign context without scraping the UI or touching save files directly.

  • Claude Desktop, Codex, and other MCP clients can read Advisor and campaign context.
  • Advisor and campaign tools are read-only by default.
  • Chronicle save, edit, create, and undo flows require explicit user intent.
  • Packaged builds include MCP smoke checks and backend build metadata.
Gemini Quota

Standard quota now goes further

Advisor chat can route through Gemini Flash-Lite when the standard quota profile is selected, making the app more practical for users on the Gemini free tier.

  • New quota-aware routing chooses the right Gemini model for the selected profile.
  • Settings now present simpler quota and quality controls.
  • Chat messages surface model-routing context more clearly.
Localization

The app now follows the language you play in

The multilingual work in 0.8.0 covers app labels, generated Advisor responses, and Chronicle output, with language-aware memory so campaign context stays coherent.

  • Supported languages: English, German, French, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese.
  • Advisor and Chronicle prompts receive explicit language policy.
  • Language-specific Advisor and Chronicle caches are kept separate.

  • AI app connection settings are simpler and calmer.

  • Advisor knowledge was refreshed for Stellaris 4.3, including Dyson Swarm regression coverage.
