Dear CCP,
From our point of view there is a threat to the goodwill of EVE-online due to the poor quality of localization. We understand that there are objective reasons and you are unable to estimate the quality of the work done in that direction to the full extent. ThatĘs why we, the people who are highly concerned in localization, address this letter to you.
The open beta test of Russian localization was launched at test server Singularity on the 19th December 2007. The goal of this beta test, as any other beta, is to involve more people (testers) as to find mistakes which were missed by translators and localizers. Obviously, to be successful the beta test should be in final stage with regard to completeness and quality of the project.
What we saw on Singularity did not correspond to the announced beta status. The key terms have different spelling, frequently faulty. The translation made it impossible to find an item mentioned in the description of a ship or item through Market. Most every description was translated so illiberally and inappropriately that the views divided: some consider that the translation was done by means of a translation program and others think that the translators did not know basic principles of Russian. The essential point is that there are so many distortion and mistakes and they are so evident that it is almost impossible to miss them by mistake. There is no apparent need in beta-testers to notice these errors as they will send tens of duplicated petitions and bugreports relating to obvious mistakes taking away precious time.
Another important issue is that the translation is of such poor quality and distorts the original sense so heavily that it is almost impossible to suggest any amendments or improvements. One has to launch the original English version so as to restore the original meaning of term, phrase or description.
We do not know why the project s in so poor condition and who is responsible for such translation. But then we see the result. And this result is absolutely unacceptable. We request the beta test of Russian localization to be withdrawn and sent for revision. Should you have any questions we have prepared evidences and detailed description explaining our attitude.
We appreciate your work and that level of quality which is clearly showed by EVE-online. ThatĘs why we draw your attention to the fact that the said localization and amateurishness during its preparation will substantially undermine the goodwill of the project among Russian-speaking gamers.
With kindest regards,
Russian-speaking community

Would like to notice still.
It in the majority of opinion of people which successfully play at the English interface. Opinions of those people who did not begin to play EVE-online because of a language barrier here cannot appear for the clear reasons.

The project of this petition came into a question on the Russian forum less than three days. This petition does not express opinion of all of the Russian players. All of the wishes of players offered on the Russian forum are not taken into account in petition.
Suggestion, to organize a translation with participation the Russian workers of CCP and activists of the Russian association of game did not enter in petition.

19.12 to 23.12, i think about 4 days )
You can take ZidanSZ (aka QuakeMan Dryakozyablikov) but it is not also 'opinion of all of the Russian players'.
Let's see what men says.
