Dev post transalation methodology

[larrymc]

Why do user translations of Dev feedback to Japanese posts come out many days before the official translation post - that is, if we ever get the translation at all. I'm not talking about a delay of 1 or 2 days - I'm taking about 5 days or more, and I'm also talking about translations that simply never happen at all.

Most of us who play FFXI also work at corporations (ok - assumption on my part, but I know a lot do) and recognize this as a clear failure or lack of a business process.

Please put a process into place so that whenever a Dev or community rep responds to a Japanese post, that post gets flagged and put into a queue for translation by the various non-Japanese community reps for translation. There really should not be any response that is not translated and posted in all languages within a 24 hour period.

Yeah kind of annoying how those JP posts have been there for few days now... I also noticed FFXIV uses the same community team members as FFXI.. so that might be the issue.

And in case anyone was wonder who cares if they were a few days late some of these posts have had huge effects on the game economy... at which point it basically becomes like insider trading
