RuneScape en français ! 10-déc-2008

I was going to play Runescape when I noticed a French flag right under the banner and I found this article:

Avis à tous les francophones !

Im not really sure what it says, but it seems like Runescape finally has been translated into French. I tried to load the game but it didnt work yet, the forums do though. Try it out here http://www.runescape.com/l=2/

RuneScape is now fully available in French! We are pleased to offer a translated version of the game

 

 

 

Discover the world of Gielienor and all its inhabitants in the language of Moliere.

Congratulations all French people! I noticed that all the featured articles are different in the French version for some reason.

It's working now so you can log in. =)

Viva La Revolucion!

Pretty neat lol, all the French i learned in school is coming in handy.

6 years of learning french in school may come in handy when I need an empty world :D

Yes I just noticed this but you beat me to it :P I really hope it get used to it's full potential.

Lol, it's obvious that Jagex choose their languages based on the countries that are the most stubborn in learning a foreign language.

ffs you got in first -.-

yeah...they started with english...

Actually the British are the worst linguists :D

Cool, runescape in french :P

Essayons, je vous dis!

If that was the case, we'd have American English first.

Jagex = English. Weird huh?

Funny, those little British-American fights. Point is that both languages differ only a small bit, so it'd be weird to release a total new version of the game with minor aspects changed from British to American or vice versa.

Also, English is accepted as "the" mondial language. Something the French and the Germans generally refuse to accept.

:twss:

Yes. I see no issue with there being French and German translations. They must be a big part of the non English speaking players for Jagex to do translations for those first

Ca serait une bonne exercise pour moi, parce que j'aurai un grand test à deux semaines.

ever heard a germman talking english?

 

:twss:

Rarely.

Meh. Not that much of the world speaks French. I would have figured Spanish would have been on Jagex's to-do-list.

Is a Frech version really needed? Their english is good enough, isn't it?

What about a Spanish or Chinese (?) version?

And what about a Dutch version? I guess it will never come (wich is a good thing, imo, because RS in dutch looks stupid :mrgreen: )

I'm pretty surprised by their choice of German and French before Spanish, Portuguese or Chinese. Those are spoken by a far more people then French or German. Especially Chinese will probably have a massive impact. (Yes, I know there are loads of different kind of Chinese languages besides Mandarin, but they're all nearly the same in writing.)

Owh and I don't think they will release a Dutch version (it'd be awesome though). Dutch can speak English pretty good and it's spoken nowhere besides Holland and Flanders.

Being a french-canadian, I also thought Jagex would have pushed a spanish version before.

Also, English is accepted as "the" mondial language. Something the French and the Germans generally refuse to accept.

I wonder what will happen to the the unilingual english speakers when China takes over and impose it's language as the mondial language. Would they refuse to accept also? Don't dismiss this as unrealistic, it's a possibility.

Just saying you're generalising a lot.

Their player base probably has more French and German speakers than Spanish or Poruguese. And Chinese players generally prefer more grinding-based games, I very rarely see a Chinese player.

RS not a grinding game? LOL. And you have to realize, it's practically on the other side of the world (depending on where you live), so they won't play on time you'd normal play on.

It's "Vive la resistance!". Watch House M.D. and you'll understand.

Where did that generalization come from? Really uncalled for, biased, and rude.
