Written script for NPC's and sudden use of contractions

[ReynTime]

Genuinely makes me wonder two things:

1) how is the french/german text and does it follow "ye olde english" ( actually, with french being my first tongue, I could probably find out tonight at the inn by switching languages. I won't bother with Japanese because that's already the audio I listen to but I can't read it).

2) Seriously?

I'm guessing they don't. The whole (faux) ye olde English that US SE has been mandating has been an English-only thing since the mid 2000s. The Japanese script has none of this. The dialect variance is there but nothing ever to this level with a few exceptions.
