Greetings, I am a casual player who’s been lurking around for a while and this is probably my first post. I am seeking an official answer, and I hope the devs/PRs actually post here.

I reside in Japan and I’ve always wanted to play with my partner, who’s Taiwanese but doesn’t speak English. GW2 doesn’t provide either a Japanese or Chinese interface, which makes it impossible for her to play. The game has enough content to overwhelm even me, so explaining every single thing is out of question.

Alas, I heard that GW2 has been/will be launched in China this month and I was wondering when and if the Chinese translation will be integrated into the international game client. It would be greatly advantageous for all the native Chinese speakers out there, and those of us who ended up sharing their daily life with a “linguistically challenged” partner ^^"

I eagerly await a (hopefully) positive response. The purchase of another copy of GW2 depends on it

I’m not sure about the Chinese translation making it into the international client, but the Kongzhong version of GW2 is VERY different from the international version. (They’re practically two completely different games!) Chinese players also won’t be able to play with NA/EU players, so do NOT buy the Kongzhong version for your partner unless you plan on starting your own account there.

Ye, I read about that. No skeletons and no lesbian kisses? I’ll pass
Hopefully the Chinese translation itself isn’t licensed by Kongzhong, otherwise it will be impossible to have it on our clients.

Na can play with EU players? since when o_o?
Unless you’re talking about EU players playing on NA servers.
In terms of guesting from EU to NA you can’t
From what i read, China will just be treated as another region, will obtain updates at the same time as NA/EU just with KongZhong handling the translations/cultural aspects

If KongZhong handles the translation I doubt we’ll ever see it incorporated in the international client, given how China handles business…

Come on ANet, Diablo 3 has Chinese, why not GW2 too?
