Why no Spanish language?

[Enkidoh]

It's nothing to do with the amount of people speaking that language in the world and everything to do with economics - we have French and German localizations of the game because France and Germany are the two largest economies in Europe (even larger than the UK), and much much larger than Italy and Spain, so the cost of localizations for those later languages to SE just isn't considered justified by the projected amount of players (and thus returns on that investment).

And I doubt they would endorse a fan translation - they're usually very strict when it comes to that sort of thing, regardless of the benefit it may give.

An officially-endorsed fan translation would not even be entertained by SE. Or by most publishers for that matter. I mean they happen anyway (hi, PSO2, how are you?) but not with official sanction. Just for starters the liability angle is appalling.

One way they could save money and manpower would be to translate only the text, and not include voice acting in the additional languages. For example, they could add Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, and Russian, but if you select one of those languages, the voice acting would be in Japanese, unless you set it to a different language.

I guess but I doubt they'd go for that idea. It would be offering a lower quality experience in those languages. That usually isn't something SE is about. It's also still a LOT of text. The time investment is still substantial.
