I want the imperial units for EVE online.
Its not very helpfull if you have to convert every unit scale in the game in feet and pounds.
At least u have included a ingame calculator. THANK YOU

WTF do you mean by 'sorting'?

I have never come across that term when it comes to Japanese grammar.

I understand the reason you're doing this as it makes EVE more accessible to people around the world thus opening up a wider player base. I don't knock that and think it's a good idea for you as a company to stay competitive with the type of game you've build and to help it grow.

However, I think it may be a bad idea for a few reasons. I really enjoy the fact that in just my alliance I have people from many different parts of the world who's native tongue isn't English. It's fun to learn about their cultures and they enjoy learning about ours, or yours. This new push will further dampen that abliity to happen.

Another issue I see arising is calling primaries for people who use their localized client but have a different language speaking Fleet Commander. In my humble opinion, you shouldn't localize the ship types for this reason alone. Most FC's will ask their fleet to sort by distance/name/type etc. and the ability to sort by these in a standardized way is pretty vital.

Even if it's localized on the client, but when sorted it follows English no matter what would be cool.

Could we have someone from CCP maybe tell us why the client needs to be localized at all? I'm sure there is a bunch of numbers somewhere explaining just how many subscriptions you expect to miss out on but from my perspective I don't really get it.

The localized clients are great for players who stick with people of their own language, but they are near useless for players in international corps and alliances or people who interact with players from everywhere.

Combine this with EVE voice - so I can swear in English and have it properly translated to be heard in Swedish and Dutch.

Someone already mentioned this, but I was wondering what CCP's views on this are.

As far as I know when an non-english client launches probes or the likes, he will launch probes with a name in their own language. This actually gives additional intel.

If I see probes in my WH that are in english, they could be my corp mates. But if I see for instance german probes, I know we have a bogey.

Now obviously this works two ways, an all german corp who for whatever reason prefer the german client will easily discern that english probes are not theirs.

Now this is far from being an issue, wouldn't even call it a issue. But I find it weird that reality differences create in-game differences on that level.

I look forward to being able to communicate with the Korean Neighbors in English
I hope the Serbus does become an option for real time talking in Local and in Alliance speak.

Oh can there be an option for swearing converter like when a guy says "**** you" - it will respond with " I wish to have an Adult interaction with you" Some foreign language translation should be a laugh Riot. As Different Cultures curse in different ways.

I was following the WOD - Serbus was mentioned as a feature for WOD that was being given to EVE, as apart of the Carbon exchange between Projects. Am I wrong on this?

What does this mean in terms of future UI improvements as a whole. Will this constrain a possible overhaul of the UI (which it sorely needs) or will this benefit it? Please explain why or why not.

Looking forward to a Brazilian Portuguese client?

Some wishes:

1) translate locally on the client. It's ugly to see probes with russian or german description in space
2) make the UI fast switchable, so that a pilot can use english to adapt his alliance, but can press a key to read a longer description in his language. This would be great for many pilots trying to interact with other pilots from the hole world, but without excellent english knowledge.
3) Don't translate types. It's simply not working when it comes to work together.

My native language isn't English but it is (or should be) the world's common language. If you don't know English you are missing out on a lot of business opportunities.

German player here - I try the German client about once a year driven by some sort of morbid curiosity but I could never use it permanently.

In my opinion the German translation suffers a lot from trying to translate the terms used by the English client as directly into German as possible.
More often than not the results are extremely cringeworthy.

In the 70s/80s a crazy amount of American SF novels has been translated into German and these translations are usually very readable.

German is no bad language to translate SF content into per se but to produce a reasonable translation you have to be aware of the naming conventions that have formed over the last 50 years in German SF. "Naive" translations just sound extremely uncomfortable & weird.

Sometimes I feel as if the translators responsible for the German client have no prior experience with German SF content (novels, short stories, TV productions, anything) at all and just try to translate EVE the same way they would translate a technical manual.

Please get us some translators that grew up on German Science Fiction novels and have them (re-)do the job!
