yaziyo Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Sounds cool, but I've never seen any Portugese speakers on RuneScape. That's probably why they're doing it. Some games do not mix... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theboy1001 Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 I think French will come next, because it was advertised first. It should be coming soon Portugeese will come a bit later. I'm guessing Spanish will come soon as it's a widely spoken language (just as German, French and German are). RSLinkss! A new RuneScape forum! PM me for details.

Lodewijk66 Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 personally i don't think they will release another language. why? remember that thread about french = next rs language? well they never brought that out, why? cuz they can't find someone do translate for them, how i come to this point? well a long time ago jagex said they would release rs in 5 (or so) other languages, only german is done up to now. this changes every month so i think they're desperate...

me Posted June 14, 2008 Author Share Posted June 14, 2008 personally i don't think they will release another language. Jagex are currently hiring for French player support, French translators and French localisation testers - it hasn't been forgotten. The job advertisement for the Localisation Manager said "At present, the department consists of two teams of German and French translators, but this shall be expanded upon to include additional languages in the near future" - meaning they intend to do multiple additional languages in addition to French in the near future (AKA more than just Portuguese). Don't forget that Iddison recently said in an interview "We do plan to go East with it to the Asian market and the Eastern European market too...China, Indonesia, Japan, Singapore, they're all different markets. There are markets in Asia that are more relevant to RuneScape than others. RuneScape is not for Japan, but it could work well in Malaysia for example. And where's India in all this? I think RuneScape is a game that would be adopted in the english-speaking Indian world and the local-speaking Indian world. We're looking at all those markets individually". So at least we know it won't be translated into Japanese. (Waits for next week to post "Next language confirmed: Japanese" heh).

OldJoe Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Bah. I don't understand why they "waste" money on translating. I would MUCH MORE appreciate if they invested the money into customer support, like... Being able to send a question with the message center to Jagex instead of using the official forum.

githzerai1 Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Do you think they'd include several asian languages? like japanese or chinese? that would be tough to do :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doomy Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Hmm, strange choice my Jagex but I can see why they've decided to do it after looking at the numbers. The German worlds havn't gotten very far yet though... Doomy edit: I like sheep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert_de_Sable Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 How ridiculously stupid. :roll: Why not Mandarin Chinese? I'm willing to bet money there are more people playing RuneScape who speak fluent Chinese than those who speak fluent Portuguese.

Beaumonde Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 aww i wanted it to be french. :( They already started French. How ridiculously stupid. :roll: Why not Mandarin Chinese? I'm willing to bet money there are more people playing RuneScape who speak fluent Chinese than those who speak fluent Portuguese.

He means the number of actual Germans in each world, hardly enough players to fill the two worlds.
