This game surely isn't Czech or Slovak.

Can anybody recognize the language? Maybe Yugoslavian? :)

Google Translate thinks it's Slovenian.

Yep, it could be.

It's looking that way, the prompt "Le kaj naj bi storil?" = "What should I do now?" is only recognised as Slovenian by google translate. If you google that phrase it brings up a lot of Slovenian sites, some of them angst ridden forums!

Is there anyone we know to verify 100% before I put it on the list?

This site says it's Slovenian:

"Jezik: Slovenski" means "Language: Slovenian" in Slovenian.

That site also seems to list some other Slovenian games, which are missing from the archive:

For example, Vroče Počitnice.

Actually, Vroče Počitnice is in the archive as an AKA.

The language in the game is Slovene, and I am Slovene aswell.

Thanks (and welcome).

The correction is in the spreadsheet ready for the next update, hopefully this weekend.

From this link http://retrospec.sgn.net/users/tomcat/yu/ZX_list.php
The HRV tag = Croatian language (or perhaps Serbo-Croatian language by the time in the 1980s official language in Yugoslavia)
The SLO tag = Slovene language
The ANG tag = English language

It would be nice if all these programs from the SGN website from the Yugoslavian era, could be imported into your website. I could help translating a few words / titles then maybe.

It would be great to add anything that is missing from ZXDB, though quite a few may already be present under an alias. Finding them all could be quite a lot of work. I don't have time at the moment but if you were willing to help collate them let me know and I will send you instructions.

Will it be fixed in ZXDB?

Yes, apologies - in fact it should have appeared two updates ago! They will be in the next one.

There are a few (about 4) that have been missed due to busy-ness and the fact that I buried them in the spreadsheet with a mile long list of CGC 2013 corrections.

Fear not, we will conduct an internal investigation and reprimand whomsoever is responsible along SC/ZXDB guidelines:
Regulation 3400231b: Failure to complete an update to the best of ones abilities will result in a Chinese burn administered by PeterJ.

Well, the message language was change. Thanks for it!

But there are still some improvements needed.

1) Original publisher is also Slovenian not Czech.
2) Both z80 snapshots are also Slovenian not Czech.

Somehow I missed this topic, and I think a little clarification is needed.
Most of the games from ex-Yugoslavia are published in official Serbian or Croatian (shorter Serbo-Croatian) languages that are very similar, but some are also translated into Slovenian, which is quite different.
The "Vruće Ljetovanje" was originally released by Suzy Soft (from today's Croatia) to Serbo-Croatian, but was also translated into Slovenian as "Vroče Počitnice".
It's not a Slovenian game, it's the same game, just translated and this game already exists in ZXDB.
Also, similar just inverse example, we have with several games made and released by Slovenian authors and publishers, translated to Serbo-Croatian (Kontrabant, Bajke, Smrkci, Eurorun), for market reasons...
