As written on the subject line, we're opening this thread to promote an initiative from the Elite: Dangerous Italian community concerning an Italian translation of the game.
We're aware that Frontier tranlsated Elite in many languages, obviously prioritizing the most spoken languages in the world, and unluckily Italian isn't among these. But even if it's not a very common language, the Italian community is very active in Elite: Dangerous. For example, there are two Discord groups counting about 600 members each, and a big Facebook group with more than 1000 users.
This initiative started some months ago with a change.org petition which collected almost 2000 signatures.

We've already contacted Frontier support showing this petition, but we've been asked to promote this initiative on the Elite: Dangerous forums because, essentially, these are Frontier's procedures on these matters.
Specifically, we learned that Elite: Dangerous was translated in the Spanish and Portuguese languages by the local communities, and the translation was then forwarded to Frontier who implemented it in the game.
The Italian community is available to proceed in a similar fashion, so we ask Frontier to provide us with the translation guidelines and, obviosuly, with everything we need to know to translate the game, so we can proceed like the Spanish and Portuguese-speaking communities did.
Kind regards.
