Well, I have to state, that I am a german native speaker and "we" already have our translation. But to be honest, it isn't worth waiting for it, as I (and many others) play the game in English. Translations are never perfect, but even the german localization, that's been there since release is no fun to play. Besides that, I guess I wouldn't understand English as half as good as I do now, if I not nearly all games in the past were not localized at all. I played them all in English and it helped my understanding of the language better than the teachers for twelve years in school did.

I encourage everybody to give the game a try, even if you don't understand everything! This opinion applies to all languages :)

You are right bro, i use to play in english too, but they made a promise, and they sold a lot of copies because the promises, so they must fulfill the things they promised.

Well the question is that it translated into Spanish as soon as possible, we must not be impatient because what I hope is a good translation, not sloppy.

Haven't read the thread in it's entirety, maybe I'll echo someone.

The Russian translation is so bad, it is insulting. After seeing screenshots of said localization, kindly posted by comrades in the Russian sector, I wouldn't touch it with a 10 feet pole.

You know, just saying, make what you want of it. I would even go so far and say that current situation is a brilliant opportunity and an engaging way to learn English.

Learn English? what kind of English? How funny!!! If I want to improve my English I would go to England, USA, Australia or read a book. This kind of vocabulary doesn't make any sense if I want to learn English. Also if we want to play in equal terms, it is not fair!! English speakers has advantage for rearguards, wars, news, resources, etc.

All kinds of English. Don't forget that part of the game revolves around communicating with others in open chat. No matter how good the localization will turn out to be, you simply won't be able to deal with random strangers, be it pirates or other types of players or unique situations arising after powerplay kicks in, and hence you will always be at a disadvantage in described situations if you don't have command of English language.

I played games in English since I was twelve and had a dictionary next to PC in case I needed translation. A fun way to learn new words.

As you say "part of the game revolves around communicating with other in open chat." That's an important point. In the open chat you could find someone from UK, Germany, Spain, Latin-America. Spanish speakers will be able to grow up in this game and you would have same opportunities to find someone who speak english or spanish. I will be able to choose to deal with random strangers (English speakers) or not. In any case, this is not important for commands, regards, instructions, etc. These things should be in other languages, if we want to have an international game with same opportunities for all players.

I bought the game, because they said it would be in Spanish.

Really, I was and alpha backer from the start and now i find that i spend a lot of money in a game made for a company that not respect us. Producers, you said the game will be translated to spanish on time launch. The game seems to be beatiful but i want the game translated, I paid for it not for an english localized one. This is not an open source project but a commercial one with commitments to be fullfiled.

In order to suggest FDEV best way to translate, i think the priority is Galnet news and quest texts, the rest is less important.

Woot woot spanish translation!

I sure wish I knew who was making these decisions, along with the other questionable (to be as polite as possible) past decisions like offline, release, limited skins, Steam etc. In all honesty, there must be a good reason for the stall to offer other languages, although what that is escapes my meager brain power.

Maybe skip a few UK/USA events and spend the money and manpower instead on fulfilling promises?

I'd honestly like to know who this mysterious person or persons are and why we can't talk to them directly, or them to us for that matter, as there's clearly a communication problem at Frontier.

I'm not trying to be snarky but, really? We can't communicate with the mystery decision maker directly? Maybe the data/numbers don't support the additional costs (despite the promise to do so) at this point but, I bet if the mystery decision maker's email was flooded with not so happy customers demanding FD fulfill their promise it would get their attention and perhaps some action. At the very least a confirmation, one way or the other, if FD intends to make good on their advertising.

If I could ask the mystery decision maker at FD directly, I would ask these questions about language localizations:

1. Does FD intend to make good it's promises on additional language localizations?

2. If yes, when?

3. If no, why not?

4. Why do we have to go through third parties to request information about unfulfilled advertised features as opposed to a direct line of communication to you, the mystery decision maker?

5. What is your name(s) and why are you hiding from us?

IMO, this would be a good start......
