About the Spanish Translate

[Valenth]

From what I know literally EVERYTHING in Germany is translated or dubbed in German, it's a culture thing for them and maybe a remnant of WWII. As to why they translate the game into German and French specifically for the EU, I'd pin it down on SE (being Japanese) is a bit old-fashioned and sometimes still have the mind-set of Europe market being the third after Japan and North America. I also think the French and German countries have a vast history of translating things into their own language, and as such they have the resources easilly accessible. I would wager there's just a LOT less translation agencies available in Spain. Do correct me if I'm wrong there though, it's just an assumption I'm making. In the end all is fair though, they don't owe us anything and as a Japanese company it can be hard to make it, or even want to, outside of Japan as it's a very big investment. SE, and us in extension, are incredibly fortunate they have someone like Koji-Fox, a professional literate and multi-langual person who's very passionate for this game and their company. Sadly, I think his Spanish is a bit rusty, otherwise he might have actually opted to do Spanish as well.... as if he isn't busy enough already. xP

Anyway, by this time I would not count on there being a Spanish translation of the game. It would just take way too much resources from not only catching up, but also keeping everything updated. Remember, this game's patches are being released simultaniously in all translations and adding another language could cause more delays in the patches being released. I know I just said SE was old-fashioned, but with regards to translated simultanious releases they're showing to be ahead of many other Asian (MMO) companies.
