tlansot.1942 Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 why not put the option in Portuguese of the language, and that would make the game better known? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lokh.2695 Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 If they won't do a russian version, I doubt there is much hope for a potuguese translation. Also, can we have a swiss german translation plox, would be hillarious and would basically guarantee that the whole country would play it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mercury ranique.2170 Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Too bad people make fun of this request in a way that is unapropiate. There are 202.000.000 people speaking Portuguese around the world as their main language. There are 150.000.000 people speaking Russian as their main language. The reason is called Brazil. They speak Portuguese there. So without making fun of the request and react to it. It is unlikely. The first reason is that it is very hard to add another language. They need to track each and every line spoken in game and make recordings in 10 voices for the main characters and additional voices for the npc's. The current languages where done on the road, but it takes a lot of time to add another one. The second reason is not the amount of people speaking the language, but the economic value. The investment to create it would not be profitable enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trixantea.1230 Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Hoping for an arabic translation too. Arabic is an official international language and has +400,000,000 speakers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Uzumaki.1524 Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 I think he meant only text translation to Portuguese, it's half the work (no need to record voices and stuff), but it's still a crap ton of work, given how big this game is now. Best they could do is allow the brazilian, russian, arabic, etc, communities to translate the game, i know in ESO online the Brazilian community is making the portuguese translation, still ongoing, but it's something.

I am Dutch and there are enough Dutch speaking player using Dutch in chat or characternames. I bet Google translate is supports friend as I have reported faul dutch language and action was taken.

yoni.7015 Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Just play the game in English. It’s 2020, everyone should know english good enough to play a video game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it feels like this and if you're lucky and got the education to have a sound understanding of a foreign laguage "Just play in english, it's easy" might seem like it's the solution. Then again there's [this little piece of human history](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_imperialism). Also people like to hear/read their native language and usually feel more comfortable with it so I totally get what the OPs wants/needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
