My very first question for this new year is about the embed translations in the game. I would want to know if the official release will contain complete translation of the game (notably in French), because we have experienced some issues on this point during the precedent version release (if my memory is correct, Deus Vult was only available for the original English version).

Thanks to developper team or beta testers for any answer.

We should have a Latin translation, since it is medieval game and latin is the universal language.

But seriously, would anyone like a latin translation?

Latin would be epic. I liked how in Assassin's Creed 2 you could play the whole game in Italian.

Radio Finland ran an international 30 minute program once a week in Latin for many years, though I've no idea if it's still going on. So presumably you'd pick up at least a few Finns.

And the first Hungarian parliament in the 19th century conducted all its official business in Latin. So you'd probably also be able to sell Latin versions to Hungarian zombies who had served in parliament at the time.

Hope that helps.

Can't read Latin, but this would seriously spur me on to giving Latin a go. I reckon that we should as, a community, try and translate CKII to as many languages as possible. We have enough people that speak multiple languages.

I would play a Latin version of the game in a heartbeat. From what I've seen of LPs and streams, it's a lot of work in terms of amount of writing, but the Latin probably wouldn't be very complicated. You only run into problems with modern words translating into Latin, but it doesn't come up a lot given the game's setting. I know I'd help translate Latin and Greek. I can't imagine I'm the only one.

Greetings,

Without saying that a Latin version would be a joke, I would still like to know "seriously" if the game will be available in full version other than English...

There shouldnt be a latin translation, but there SHOULD be a middle-ages Church Latin translation.
anyone who speaks a romance language or was familiar with playing the game would be able to work their way through it and it would be beyond awesome, not to mention all the academics who wasted years of their life learning medieval latin finally getting something out of it

.... seriously guys?

You all disturb me sometimes. A Latin translation? Might as well have one in Aramaic while you're at it. Seriously.

Well I think it'd be interesting, and I'd give it a go if it were made, but I'd wonder if there is anyone around here capable enough in Latin to do it accurately. Since if anyone tried it with a translating tool thingy it'd be quite mangled.
