but first we need hid/her word on this topic before we can use the person's voice in a game.

If you need it, give me the script, I'll pass it to him and I'll send it back

Hey, your friend has a great voice and seems to be talented! He would be a serious enrichment to the project. You may want to contact Airon (sound department) about this: http://www.truecombat.com/forum/profile ... ofile&u=34

A PM would be just fine, I guess!

I just remembered, this thread was a spambot. Feel free to start a new thread on the same topic about Language and translation for our non-English speaking members. I'll deal with the spambot myself. Reply to me once you have confirmed this so i can deal with that spambot ASAP.

You never failed to confuse me. It is easy to do so to insomnia-tormented student mind.

the only language TrueCombat should have besides english,
is japanese, since japan have the world's biggest gaming scene,
its importent to have a japense version,

japan is the place to be if you wanna gain the game's reputation and publish the game,
having the japanese language will gain TrueCombat's reputation.

this game allready have a japenese website though.
http://www.truecombat.jp

why not build the japnese language in the game, that will make all the wonderful creative japs happy

Sorry, I don't agree with that, I think it will ruin the games reputation.

how so? allot of games are developed in japan,
how would it ruin the reputation?

Coz that will just show how despirate this game needs more players. And that will be unfair to all the others. Usually, if you translate the game, you translate it to couple of european languages and not just lick one ass.

yep.

just because a lot of games come fron japan doesn't mean that everyone there would be interested in this one game.

games like Prince of Persia 3D (I say this because I once spent a few hours per day playing the original 2D side-scroller) and the Splinter Cell series are developed in Canada, along with a lot of Ubisoft games (hooray Montréal! funny AND full of games)

also, I think that as many languages that ET has been translated into is good enough for me.

next thing you know, there will be a server handing out full-translation .pk3's and you'll complain.

translation is a double-edged sword.

most people in europe understand english,

the thing is, most people in europe understand english,
and most european country's arent a importent gaming country,

japan.. is a importent country if you wanna represent your game,

and thats why the devs made a japanese website,
http://www.truecombat.jp

and thats why its a good thing if the devs made a japense version.

here's the deal. in-game menus/quick chat will still be in english. thus, there would be an influx of japanese servers hosting .pk3's that contain complete translators that will change the game to japanese. (already happening with numerous other languages) I'm only concerned with mandarin and it's deratives when it comes to language-changing .pk3's, because they will use characters that mean nothing to the person with no mandarin language skills.

also, it would need one of such .pk3's to become translated in the first place, thus disabling play on pure servers.
