Hi there. People try to work on FFXIV traslate.

How much you need for translate the game? about 10k$? Easy to pay thinking about the profits. On Social media you announce the game in Spanish and the game still not translate. LIARS?. why the game isnt translate yet? The community can help for free to traslate. You can not let the initiative like being forgotten. We are a lot of players, and we can be much more. The english used on the game isnt a low level english skill, so sometimes is a mass for us. Respect the lore, respect your players. Translate the game.

$10,000 wouldn't pay for translating more than a small fraction of the game.

Remember, it's not only the story quests and dialog, but also every cutscene, all the side quests and incidental dialog of *every* NPC in the game, as well as all the other text in the leve-quest descriptions MB items, menus, item descriptions, tooltips, item help, game help, etc... There is a lot of work involved in fully translating any game.

If you contract a person in Spain, cost still less like 2k$.

Sorry, a) I know you're wrong, b) you're beginning to sound like you're just trolling and c) I won't feed you any more if you are.

Sorry...you're never going to find someone that will translate 4 years worth of an mmo into Spanish, both text and voice acting for that misery of a pay.

In Spain 800€/monthly any translator will work.

...dont tell me you actually believe that ONE person could translate the ENTIRE game (thats is a lot more than just the dialogues!) in two and a half months...

The lack of thought you put into this is almost cute... and pretty naive. Asking for a spanish version seems totally legit to me - but the way you propose it could work just shows that you have simply NO idea about the work that is involved, the complication that might arise and that the whole process of translating a game isnt as easy as you make it sound and seem.

Wishful thinking on your part. Maybe you should put some of that time complaining in actual research. Also while we do have spanish speakers it's not a huge crowd. Most can and will speak english and make it through the game just fine, there's no reason to hire a translator and spend extra money to translate that game into spanish.

Problem isn't the translation or the money being that MMO are constantly being updated. The best thing would be to petition a Spanish version of it for MMO. ( It would be a very expensive monthly fee though ) Also you can translate certain games, mainly non online games, and some you don't need to pay people they are made by fanbase who love the game and can perhaps request for it. You will need a bit of experience with scripts though and own the game in order to do it. Their are also some third party translation tools, however I've yet to find one that can translate properly and accurately in PC versions. Mainly non MMO's.

In regards to voice acting, they could simply leave it in English with Spanish subtitles.
I always found it funny that games get translated to French or German, but not to Spanish, which has actually a much broader audience.
