As, I think many of you know, that runescape is going to be translated in other languges, I have some news about that. Jagex is searching for especially german employees. See here:http://www.jagex.com/corporate/index.ws.

 

 

 

Also the runescape client is already working in German(I won't tell anyone how it works because I think you shouldn't know that yet.) Also a J-Mod told me that it won't take very long until the german version will be released.

 

 

 

Here is one screenshot how it will look like:

 

 

 

Cool :?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Read about this on the official site.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wrong forums?

Notice how the links at the top of the page are still in English.

Well... Just a little (probably completely wrong) prediction...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If they have to higher people to translate all the text, then maybe it will also be members only? :-k :-s

This looks very cool. I hope this update will soon come, and in a Swedish version too of course :). Or you can always hope :)

Let's just hope that the client will translate back into English for those who don't speak 30+ different languages.

I don't see the point of making a German one... It would just be more expenses to Jagex, and probablly wouldn't attract enough german speaking people to pay all the german translators' wages.

What I know, they have been looking for german speaking staff for quite long. It kinda makes sense as there would be huge markets for german speakers, but in the other hand there's not that many german speaking players. Actually there's probably more native finnish speakers than german.

 

 

 

*Is waiting 'till they start looking for Finnish speaking staff....*

I think there are a lot of german players (like myself), but they tend not to show that they are german. It`s a part of german metality, I think. Other people, like the Dutch or from the scandinavian countries are more likely to show where they come from in their player names and also using their language in chat.

 

 

 

What I still wonder: JaGEx is translating the game intoGerman, yet there are no German servers - big marketing offensive to come?

 

 

 

And finally, I think I`ll stick mostly with the English version - I`m used to it for a long time now, and I dont`t think that all of the original humor can be translated in other languages.

So do you all think all the different languages will be connected to each other? Same highscores, etc? I wonder if there will be different language servers, or if it will be "Select language, then select world." Basically everyone can play in the same server, but NPC text would be In selected language, player side only//

As I believe someone mentioned earlier, why German? There aren't even any German servers. There are 8 Swedish servers with 6 Dutch and 6 Finnish ones. But no German, strange?

Man, translating all that text, that'd be a fulltime job for alot of people..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

They can spend time on better things.. Now kids who haven't learned English yet will flood Runescape, gah.

I think that they picked German, because generally Germans speak English worse then Scandinavian or Dutch people. So translating into German would get them a lot more players, while other languages wouldn't make a lot differance

thats cool. but i think it'd be hilarious when runescape comes out in chinese :lol:

China is supposed to have mandatory English, isn't it?

That's awesome. Can't wait.

1. Neat!

Might be, but if I got a full time salary, I'd be more than willing to translate it into Finnish :P
