Helping you wouldn't help the game. English is internet's language.

You do not need translation, we translated the Chinese people, all of you directly into the language, as an optional language, Please had.
I hope you can read this, my English is bad. :-\

Simple fix: learn the English...

Yes, but we are not a player, we have a lot of friends.
Does not guarantee that everyone can learn English, they are like the game, but always encounter many problems.
So we hope to be able to choose Chinese language in the game.
You only need to provide the relevant text, we have to translate well to you after the meeting.
For you suffered no loss.
Can also help us Chinese players. ::)

I think you should contact directly with developers via PM/mail. As I know the Fonline is an international project, maybe there'll be an option to resolve your problem  ;)

I'm not sure: are those people asking to have chinese translation of interface etc. or they also want to use their own charset in chat window?

Screw that, they shouldn't even have cyrillic.

Why not? I don't understand. Internet is evolving. Fonline should advance also. Let them play in their language. If they annoy you in-game, just shoot them.

Evolving towards what? Having too many languages just splits the community. I bet devs wouldn't want to get feedback in chinese. And trying to solve things by shooting people ingame doesn't help anything.

The slavs in this game add nothing to it but hostile assholes. They can't communicate with you, so you can't trade or do anything but kill each other, so they just kill everyone english on sight.

well i would be for the other languages in the game since all people speak in their own language anyway, but i cant imagine this possible in open beta :>

Maybe send them the game files "when the game is done", so they can translate it bye themselfes and play on a different server?

Slavs is way too broad term. :) If you mean people typing in Cyrillic alphabet, that's probably Russians only (don't know about Ukrainians and Belarusians). Anyway Slavs are about 14 countries of Europe, most of them I believe have English as a mandatory language since elementary school.

Having more than 1 server for this game just for non-english guys is completly utter rubbish idea...

So we got 3 sides of conflict today, besides the DA vs NA.

- english players
- cyryllic players
- other talking in their own language players (from Czech, Slovakia, Poland, even from Vietnam!!!!!!)

Will it really DIVIDE players or it'll only ADD fourth side (talking in Chinese) to three (?) already divided?

There are russians and pollacks and a few others, every time I lump them together someone complains they are different people so I figured I'd use slav because it encompasses them. I mean there a germans who do the same shit but they are rare.

And using the word "pollacks" ain't a good choice here. ;)

Dumb people. Sometimes I'm ashamed even playing on the same server as these assholes.

We will not support more than one language right now. There are too often too many changes in dialogs to keep track of everything. That's also the reason why we don't have a russian and polish translation, etc.

Совершенно очевидно, что они разрушают сообщество которые иначе были бы счастливы, любящие и заботливые семьи. A przy okazji, dwie trzecie koderów i połowa GMów to "polactwo". It makes the quoted statement look even more funny.

Now my only regret is that I don't know Chinese...

Yes and maybe if you even were able to use the Chinese in chat ingame and did some mess, the shame will go now on the heads of communists (this shouldn't be taken as politically incorrect in any way .) )  instead of Slavs. :D

2 different translation sites and I still don't know what the hell he said.

It is completely obvious that they destroy association which would be otherwise happy, the loving and thoughtful families. But at opening of of, two third encoder of of and it half " " of Of gMów of polactwo

I think the first sentence is quite clear, about Slavs destroying community, which would be of course quite perfect and peaceful without them. The second sentence is about 2/3 of coders and about 1/2 of GMs are actually from Poland.

These translators doesn't help much, they actually sometimes change the meaning of a sentence. So it is sometimes only on your communication skills. :p I'm also sorry, if my translation isn't perfect, I don't have these languages as my native languages (although being Slav :) ).

It's American territory, really big majority should use English language only. Few groups can use primitive language (Nomads). Even SF's Chinese (mainly Communists) use English as well.

Maybe it's got something to do with the fact that a huge part (if not majority) of players are Slavic, therefore a huge part of assholes you meet are Slavic too? And I wonder how many Slavic players you have met that you didn't think were Slavic because they talked to you in English very well.

I don't care about what race they are, if the speak english they are part of the english community. Lack of communication is like the birth of all conflict so having multiple languages just leads to mindless violence. You can thank god for destroying babel for that. :P
