Jeyelyahoo Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Hello there, first of all I'm sorry because I know what I am going to talk about has already been written in the guide topic for suggestions as not planned. It's basically about languages ingame. I've been a developer on different games since a few years now, and I think I'm able to help the developement team. I would like to contribute to PRO's developement, and I'm very interested about which technologies are currently used, our your systems work, etc. I'm convinced that refusing to add any other language is a TERRIBLE mistake as a decision from the staff. Here come explanations : The first reason is that, as far as I know, this is not the most complicated thing to implement. Especially if you consider that translations will probably done by your community, and as I've talked with a few persons now, I know this wouldn't be that difficult to get volunteers. If it's about encoding issues, well, you can at least limit to LATIN alphabets, this is still going to improve game experience for LOT of people. If you meet troubles from that kind, please, feel free to ask. The second reason is that, even after implementing other languages (which would happen during the whole developement period as people will do it on their free time), you can still set english as default language. So I don't think this would cause any problem. The third reason is that I already saw, in the world chat, many spanish, french, and I think even italian (probably more ones) people trying to get helped. Sometimes people are lucky and get answered by someone who can understand their language, but all those questions would probably not happen if there were locales of their language in game. The fourth reason is that, definitely, I don't understand why any people in the team would be against this decision. It's going to offer the ability to play to WAY more people (yes, english is not as well-spoken in each european country as people think). You'll get notoriety, new population, so probably more donations too. And of course, players who don't know english well will be able to enjoy the game properly (which is actually really good currently). This would be 100% win, for everyone. Now, obviously, decision is yours. But I would like you at least to answer me with a complete and constructive post. Now I'll resume my questions : - After reading this, do you still want to not implement more languages ? - If you still don't want to, could you tell me why ? - If it's any technical issue, would you like to get my help ? I would be motivated enough to take care of the whole system myself. - If you don't want me to help, could I know why ? I would like to have asked you all of this through private messages, but I'm forced to make at least one real post to be able to. I really hope you'll read this and answer this. I would appreciate if not only community managers but also administrators and/or developers could have a look on this post. This is some important business, please consider this.
