Question to FDEV - Polish localisation?

Why can't we have something similar in Elite? Or planet coaster? Or jurassic park? I know some parts of the game need to remain secret, but probably 98% of the rest could be easily localized. UIs, menus, npc messages, system descriptions... Think about it.

Planet Coaster already has a community translation system built into it and has since the alpha phases. I would expect something similar would be possible for Elite Dangerous but also that the amount of translations required in Elite Dangerous is probably huge in comparison to what's required to do a translation of Planet Coaster.

I will support this idea with pleasure. Guys from Galnet PL made a lot of job translating information for polish community. I would like to see it in-game in future... :)
 
We are one of the more active social groups.

We have written 30000 posts on the Polish subforum.

Even though we somehow manage to speak English, we all have family, friends and acquaintances who speak only Polish and would like to join our space adventure but can not.

Please - consider this from the economic side. If it will not be profitable, I will return the money. ;)

And forgive the bad grammar - your language is just as difficult as ours. :)

I'm a new pilot. I play on PS4. I like this game very much, I think that the Polish language would make the game even better.
Please add this language to ED.
 
even if i know English, i'd be really happy for a Polish translation so more of my friends can join in(and other Poles coming back to Elite)
also Thank you for your hard work Robinus

After the game was translated to a few of the above languages, Frontier apparently moved to community based translations and that's how the game was localised in Spanish, if I'm not mistaken.

That is correct. The Spanish, and now the Portuguese, speaking communities have directly helped in translating the game. I would suggest the Polish community contacts FDEV admins in order to discuss if doing a Polish localization in the same way is feasible.

Also note that many Polish players moved over to The Winged Hussars forums over the last 2 years - that does not mean they have abandoned Elite, we've just gathered under the Hussars banner. We are very active community - 83,177 posts in 3,364 threads in 2 years. I am only posting this to show that even though the Polish subforums here are less active lately, it's not because people have stopped playing.
 
Dear FD.
I think that polish translation would attract even more players from my country.
Elite Dangerous reqiures coherent knowledge of many game aspect, and people would
find it much easier to comprehend it if they will be able to play in their native language.
Besides, it looks like You have promised a polish translation so it would be nice to keep Your word. :)
 
This would be a great add-on to have possibility to play ED in Polish lang.
Surely it would attract more people (so it would pump your sales up ;) )

Additionaly it would high likely attract more people (=pump yours sales up)
 
How hard would it be to translate ED?

I'd love to play with Polish translation. :)

There should be Polish translation for simple reason -FD have big support from Polish players and will have more, when more people will may play Elite in native language.
Even such No Man's Sky has Polish translation and it was made by some small "no name" devs. And I think there was more to translate than it is in ED...
