 Anyone plays EW6 other than in English? And if you could eventually do so which language would you prefer to play the games games in? Our forum has many new members from countries like Turkey and Brazil and Indonesia and even Russia so it would be interesting to see if eventually Easytech games could be made in more languages. Thoughts on this? |

ET probably wanted to mainly cater to China, its neighbours plus the Anglosphere. That's why it only made these few language options.
It does seem like an interesting & smart move for ET to add more languages.
However, this makes me concerned about ET's ability to manage these new languages. Many languages are expressed differently in different formats. What's acceptable in Chinese may not be the case for say, English. That leads to some mistakes that we can notice.
Add on even more foreign languages & this might seem like an uphill task.

Hopefully with the recent contacts from Easytech with our community we will see more features and languages added. |

I have seen a few strategy games recruiting translators, giving them the game code and you just change the name of it on the input, send it back via email and the give you some reward in-game by you giving them your id
And yes I have already done that. Took me a huge ammount of time

That's fine guys but please remember to answer the topic of this thread:
In what language would you prefer to game ?
Examples:
- "I am ok to game in English but I would prefer Italian "
-"I would like to see a Russian localization"
"I want to play in Turkish"
And so forth.

I assume I'd like to see a Russian one as there are a lot of Russian ET fans and some might not know English as good. I'd assume the Russian ET community is the 3rd largest after the Chinese and English ones. And not only Russians but many other slavs could get used to a simmalar language and play the game easier I don't think a Turkish language would be good as it would pull a chain reaction of wishes for their language in the game. At the current stance I am used to english ET games and I would not desire an another as my langauage is far away from being in it. Imo they should focus on the fixing of the english in the game before moving to a new language as it is clear to us that there are mistakes in the spelling of some things. Maybe support their efforts as we apparently had a member of ET staff in here to peform English translations for their games? |

Turkish, I sense it is not too far.
German and Russian will be also a good addition for community.
