What does it mean to have no Chinese?

The language setting and usage habit design of a product are not only the requirements for the product itself, but also the basic respect for the users. If you don't respect the people who buy your products, will they still be willing to pay for it?
This logic I think is common sense in any market economy,
What does Chinese mean?
The key to the 14E consumer market share, isn't it?
China is the third largest economy in the world. What does that mean? I absolutely do not believe that your products are not for sale.
Is your Marketing Department limited to domestic distribution?
If so, oh my god that please get away from my sight I don't need to see all don't let other people see it, others saw it against your plan, of course I know this joke is very cold, I want to say is that in life if we treat children as equal respect, this is not only the basic human rights and cultural moral problem, of course English is your country's native language, but not all of the language may sell any region, there is no reason to everyone any language as well as the mainstream of the world, for clients to buy your goods not for learning a language isn't it,
Otherwise why not go to school?

It is David's choice isn't you of you represent yourself, I say not to tell you, everyone has the right to choose, at the same time you are speaking at the same time don't forget to David's company is a commercial company, is a listed company, I feel your academic record is not ideal, or not without thinking about some shouldn't say, as well as logic problems, more than 200 languages, there are several big consumer market?
What are these things in the mainstream language and whether you care about it or not it's right there, again, I'm talking to people from David's company, and this column is the patent that their company put forward, and it's not directly related to anyone in FD's company that's accidentally involved

Requesting a game to be translated is, in general, a perfectly valid thing to do in this forum. It would be nice if people could respond respectfully to it.

English is spoken by an estimated 1.35 billion people. 'Chinese' by 1.3 billion. It is not an unreasonable request at all. I cannot think of any other language that has a wider appeal. Besides, FD is owned for 9% by Tencent, a Chinese corp.

A very good point very well made, and for my own inane contribution I apologise to the OP; I am in no way intending to mock or ridicule, but I often forgetful of my manners on here as it can generally be a very silly place.

As a player from Vietnam, first and foremost, I have no problem with English being the basis for a British product and thus the English language, I think the validity of translation into another language would be subject to the size of the player base using that language as this would make more sense for FDEV to fund such translation. The more languages the more diverse the product becomes I agree totally but irrespective of whether the population is 1.3 billion or 100 million, as in my country, if there are very few players then it would not make economic sense and whilst I love Elite, it is not a game generally with a substantial reach in Asia!

So translating to Russia was bowing to Putin? And everyone who enjoys the game in his own language is a shill for their government?

Leave the politics at the door, mate.

Ahem... Minor detail, but Chinese is spoken by four times as many people as English on this planet. English even loses out to Spanish.

www.weforum.org

Chart of the day: These are the world’s most spoken languages

More people are estimated to speak Chinese than Spanish, English and Arabic combined.

English is the most recognized language "around the world".

Based on population, yes more people speak Chinese. Based on usage around the world, English.

A quick google shows...
(I can't be bothered with research beyond this. English is definitely used in more locations around the world)

Edit: Also English is the most spoken 2nd language in the world by population. By a large percentage.

Numbers can be used to understand and they can be used to spin your way out. The list you refer to count the number of countries where English is the official language. Like Grenada with a population of 111,000. If you look at the number of people speaking English as their native tongue, English, Spanish and Arabic combined are not even close to Chinese.

Sometimes it is difficult to see beyond ones own nose ;)

You are absolutely right. But my point should be taken.

  • Outside of Asia Chinese is not a wide spoken language worldwide. (compared to other languages)
  • "Chinese" is not a language. Its like sayng "European". Discussion should be Mandarin, not "Chinese". Huge effect on above stats.
  • Worldwide English far exceeds Mandarin as a second language.
  • The stats given by others above are regarding mother-language. Including 2nd languages total English speaking people far exceeds Mandarin worldwide.

So yes there are lots of ways to spin the numbers. The fact that no country outside of Asia recognizes Chinese/Mandarin as an official language is my point. Travelling around the world far more people can speak English over Mandarin. Far more people in China can speak English than native European/American/African can speak Mandarin. By total numbers and percent.

The Internet could explain why so many people have learned English as a second language, but having travelled a little, I must say that the definition of "speaking English" is very forgiving :) And no, I don't speak Mandarin, and I'm not planning to either. My point being, that for people living in the EU or the US, China could in many cases just as well be another planet.
