Spanish translation?

[Luis]

Ah, well, I am learning currently Spanish. You're Spanish?

Yup, that's what my ID card says

Hey I got an idea. Instead of putting money into a Spanish translation. Why don't we just put that money into teaching people how to speak English! HURRAY!

Well, that would be a nice but extremely inefficient solution

I assume a better solution would be teaching people who speak English how to speak Spanish right?

Agreed. There has to be Spanish in the countries that were founded with the Spanish language. I'm just outraged at the idea of being made to speak Spanish in America.

Yeah, those are who give the funniest moments in dubbed movies, where everyone speaks spanish, but for some reason they still can't understand each other
Hilarious.

I still don't know who's trying to force you to speak Spanish here. This thread was started by a spanish-speaking person who asked if a spanish translation was going to be released. I see no harm in that.

Thanks Luis for your replies. We´ll see how it goes in Black Plague! Still, I found Overture´s Spanish quite ok from a "spanish-speaking person" pov. What do you mean by special?

You're welcome! As for special... well, I just thought some parts felt pretty inaccurate, i.e. not fully delivering the original message at all, but I guess no translation will ever be able to do that. Also, there is some really wrong stuff, like having some parts in sentences still in English (I found at least one), probably caused by having rushed to get it done.

Anyway, it still serves, and those who play the spanish version will know what's going on in the game too

Ok, I know what you mean now. But I think these mistakes might arise in the testing phase, since as far as I know, translators don´t have the game to see everything in context. I agree with you in that no translation will ever be perfect, although it´s possible to achieve a higer level of accuracy if everuthing is carefully planned.

As for the reason for things kept in English, I guess translators don´t forget to translate lines into their language, instead, it could be organization issues when sending stuff to localize.

Hehe, well, going a bit off-topic, I don't think you need a spanish translation to play after all. I mean, you seem pretty fluent

Thanks I actually prefer to play the English versions, but I´m always very picky with the quality of Spanish translations, because it´s not fair we get a worst version of the game
