Dear Frontier Developments Plc.,
This is a letter from russian-speaking Elite: Dangerous community. As representatives of the Russian-speaking community would like to thank You for the Russian localization of Elite: Dangerous, many of russian-speaking players are grateful for long-awaited localization. The community is interested in quality localized game content. We are very concerned about current state of localization. In fact, many of russian-speaking players were upset by the quality. There are many mistakes, inconsistencies and flaws. Many elements of text simply doesn't fit to the screen, so important game information is lost. Sadly, many of localization errors can be found within minutes by a non-russian speaking tester.
We are glad to see, that these errors get fixed little by little, but, at the same time, the text amount and specificity makes us think that the current ticket and forum feedback system is insufficient to provide quality localization in time. Many terms and words must be discussed in order to provide the best result. For now, community have trouble with translation, because in order to translate, we have to input all text from screen manually.
We would like to participate directly in translation editing, bypassing ticket system.
Will Frontier Developments provide us with original translated texts for current game version? Will You provide us with new texts in future for editing and testing the quality?
Russian-speaking or any other Elite community can provide Frontier with their own translation variants and help correct mistakes. This is an open way community and developer will communicate and interact in order to provide better final product.
We are looking forward in further cooperation.
Sincerely, Elite: Dangerous Russian-speaking community
