Guild Wars 2

We all understand that there are a few major languages in the world right now the most spoken languages if you prefer.

These are:
English (of course), Mandarin, German, Spanish, French and Russian.

I’m not sure it would be wise to translate Guild Wars 2 to Mandarin because of Chinese firewall and we already have German, Spanish and French, SO, the only language we have left is Russian.

My suggestion is this: translate Guild Wars 2 to Russian, that would greatly help community to grow and if it is not possibly to get a full support for Russian we can at least get Russian text translation.

There are websites in Russia for Guild Wars 2 only and there are a lot of guilds in the game that are Russian.

So that means we (and I mean you) need to support those players, because there are a LOT of Russian players.

Please take this into consideration.
Sincerely Me

That isn’t so easy to do, not to mention you’ll have to gather crew to translate every single text and actors for voice cover. But I think there’s also a bit issue to implement a cyrillic script in the game.

I know, but that’s why I’m saying you can leave the audio just add subtitles. Text translation is not hard, I’m a translator myself. It takes a lot of time of course and 1 man won’t be able to do it within month working 24/7. BUT if you split it between 4-5 people and you just translate the text you can translate the whole base in a month without working like a slave:D

Yeah I know, besides there are a lot or web-sites which gave their own pretty good translations for skills, lore and stuff. But as I’ve mentioned I don’t know if it would be easy to add cyrillic to the game, and second I don’t think anet would make half-translated game, if they would add another language they would translate the game fully.

I agree with the OP. It wouldn’t be a daunting task to just add subtitles to the cut scenes and translate skills and flavor text.
