I was in the french channel in Eve when someone said Eve was available in french in the beginning. I always thought CCP said that Eve would never be translated in french. So, did Eve was really available in french in the first years?
Thank =) |

Sometimes they remind me of someone who was picked on while they were growing up and then became a police officer later in life to be able to pick on other people.

At present, EVE Online is localised in English, German, Russian and Japanese.
We also have a Chinese client for use with our Chinese cluster in china, Serenity.
Localization is something we take very seriously at CCP to try and make the game more accessible to people who don't speak English as their native language.
Hopefully in future we will be able to offer even more options for those who don't have English as their first language.
Hope this helps!

uhh to be fair, French is an international language, those are not.
Although English (another international language) is harder to learn for a Russian or Japanese than for someone who speaks French.

I have quite an interest in languages, so in the interest of fairness:
German is an official language of Germany, Austria and Switzerland and a recognised language in parts of Belgium and Italy. German is also the most widely spoken first language in the EU.
Russian is an official language in 7 or 8 countries in Europe too.
Only Japanese isn't truly international in its strictest definition, Japan itself comprises over six thousand islands and has many dialects. Also if the game wasn't translated to Japanese, then by sheer evidence alone, it wouldn't have marketed very well there. As indeed it didn't until there was a formal Japanese translation done.
So whilst there's not a big 'spoken on both sides of the atlantic' argument, there is surely enough of a reason there for those localizations.
As an aside, to refer back to that atlantic comment; would such a french translation work for both the Canadian speakers and French speakers ? I'm not terribly literate in French but I understand there are big differences between those two dialects. in reference to Quebecois vs Parisian french; there is even grammatical difference which causes more issues for translators, especially in technical contexts, such as one would find in EVE Online.
I'm not disagreeing though; it would be really nice if there was a formal French translation too. Perhaps if enough people show an interest, then it might happen ? ISD Suvetar,-áCaptain Community Communication Liaisons (CCLs) Interstellar Services Department We are hiring! |

You've touched upon another theme I'm very interested in. The heritage of English words is so diverse that certainly far more than can be represented as a 50/50 cut!
You might say that the language of the court is dominated by Romantic terms (as in of the Romans, not loveydovey!), and the language of the street is dominated by Germanic terms. This extends, allegedly, from the battle of Hastings in 1066 when the english ruling class was replaced almost entirely by french speaking nobles.
But english is more than courts and folks talking!
Wikipedia has a fascinating breakdown here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_language#Word_origins
Of the first 100, and 1000 most commonly used words in English, the majority have a germanic ancestry.
I love that words like Bread and Ale have remained almost indistinguishable from modern Germanic languages variants, at least when you say them! Bread: Brot, Br+¦d,Brea etcetera; Ale: +¦l, ol, olu and so on.
Anyway, that's Off-topic enough; if you're really interested then start a thread about this in the 'out of pod experience' sub-forum. It'll be a welcome change!
