Russian localisation for EU4

[unmerged(80402)]

I say that if pirates want to pirate anything, they will, and there is no real way to stop them, unless you will close down your buisness. It is like with copying brand jeans. Etc. Making things harder to get will not help you to stop the pirates, sometimes it will have reverse effect : People will not be able to buy stuff from you, so they will have to resort to piracy. It is so with for example japanese anime - no one is selling them in poland, so people just make copies, and fan's translations. If the japanese companies would be more interested in selling their stuff in poland, maybe they could at least get share of it. I don't say it is good, but it is reality. Not selling some thing somewhere, will only decrease your income, not decrease number of pirates.

Same thing in China, if Paradox included language support and sold it for $20-25 (going price for games last time I heard) it would sell really well.

Actually no. We can't sell it in legally in China without censoring it very heavily..

And yes, I think a russian localisation is likely.. depends on our local partners though.

Yay! Great news everyone! But i'm affraid of this "though"...

What would you have to censor, out of interest?

I know the PRC can be a little...sensitive about periods of Chinese history, but most of the really embarrassing things (to them anyway) came after 1820.

If you can't say it doesn't matter, just curious.

Tibet being represented as an independent country and I know for at least Hoi2 the chinese government didn't like Nationalist China being represented being split by the warlords (shanxi, yunnan, guaxi etc.)

 

[Ashantai]

It is a historical fact that Tibet was an independent country for the majority of EU3's time span. Though, that doesn't always mean that government rhetoric agrees...point taken.

I'd have thought they'd be happy to see the Nationalists divided, as it gives their 'enemy' less legitimacy.

I see, all that censorship in china, due them being communist, but propably in other cases, this is true.

 

[Mundane]

Chinese censorship is a whole other topic that generally consists of them not liking a divided China, Nationalists or anything that makes the Chinese nation look weak, I presume.

The Russian localization sounds like something that should be done anyways, just to expand the market for good ol' Paradox. Might need more resources and the help of their partners in Eastern Europe, but would be a good move on PI's part.

It's 17 hours until release and tons of threads about russian localization but still there's no any word from devs to make things clear
Will there be a russian language in game or not?

I know that fan-site Strategium.ru has already started to prepare to translate the game. But EUIV AGAIN doesn't support cyrrilic fonts. So translators will have to re-make not only localization files but some .exe files as well. That means no achievements for Russians.

If it's so hard to find localizator company, why don't make a life of fan translators a little bit easier?

Devs! Please answer! The biggest non-english community of Paradox gamers is waiting for your verdict!

Hello,
It has been almost three years, and Russian localization of the game is missing. (Available modes are not taken into account, as the multiplayer with it often leads to falls.) The number of Russian players is greater than the number of French players (based on steamspy), but for some reason there is no localization.
Why do not you talk to the community creating a modification, not to do it again?
It lacks a full localization support in multiplayer.

Why did you quote me with your thread necromancy?

Not like I can do anything about this....
