Some Language Questions... - Guest - 10-24-2006
- Which languages are planned for Overture?
- Is there some spoken language in the game, or just in the introduction?
- Will unicode be supported?
- Has the translation already started?
- Do you have already a translator for German ? :-)
Thanks, you're just cool ;-)

"- Which languages are planned for Overture?"
We will try to support the major European ones: English, French, German and Spanish at a minimum. I can not answer this qith 100% though since alot of translation might not be done by us.
"- Is there some spoken language in the game, or just in the introduction?"
There is voice acting ingame.
"- Will unicode be supported?"
Not at release.
"- Has the translation already started?"
Nope.
"- Do you have already a translator for German ? :-)"
We will be looking for people when and if the time comes. So keep your eyes open if you are interested

I hate to say this, but I doubt that getting translation for other languges are worth it. Subtitles sure, but voice acting always tends to be horrible compered to the English voices. I don't really see the point of translating to other languges, as that is just extra work.
RE: Some Language Questions... - Thomas - 10-26-2006
Just to make things clear, it is highly unlikely that any voice acting will be translated.

I can do a translation into Ukrainian. For free.
I don't know what technical problems you face that unable you to implement unicode, but if you'll manage to do it many translation-related problems will be solved, since many people around the world will be able to make translations to the game by their own.
