I want the translation! Frontier promised this for the realese! I m not playing becouse i am waiting for this!
The translation was promised to the realese, so we want the translation. You dont care our language, i think the same i dont care the french! It will be diferent if they will promised translate to our language after the realese, but was one of the lengueges promised!
I am not want a total transalte, at least i want the controls, and if it d possible the missions!
No official statement about this yet???
Not yet, no. We have offered our help to translate though.
Absolutely. We're not ignoring this. I'm still on the hunt for more information.
Lots of existing players at the moment at the Spanish speaking community who prefer not to play in English bought into the game under the expectation that the game at launch would have had the promised localizations, including Spanish:

4 months after release and 8 months after the announcement we still dont have the Spanish localizations.
And many Spanish speaking players have not been able to even start to play the game they bought for that reason. Some have even started wondering if it would have been better for them simply to wait until the first sales hitting the game maybe in Summer or Christmas this year instead.
Other potential commanders were wiser and have simply not bought into the game yet, waiting. The potential market missed here can be significant too.
It would be great if FDEV could at least announce a tentative timeline for this.
Hey guys, no news on this yet. But I have pointed this thread towards those in charge of this decision. So they know that people want it.

Don't be silly. The devs will have very little to do with translation at this point. The game will have been designed to be localised, so it *should* just be a matter of delivering the source text strings to a translation house and getting them to provide translations that fit within the parameters defined (string length, number of words, etc.). In reality there's a bit more to it than that, as there'll need to be some transfer of knowledge about what certain terms actually mean (e.g. Frame Shift Drive). But the majority of the development team won't have any involvement at all.who cares about spanish? the game has hundreds of bugs and thousands of missing features.
I'd rather want the Devs focused on FINISHING THE GAME, intead of losing precious time in petty translations
