Is that true, does everyone in Spain pirate?

The numbers may be exaggerated but I wouldn't be surprised if piracy actually is rampant in third world countries. But at the same time, if that turns out to be true then I'm legitimately surprised they managed to figure out how to

Why do you guys prefer english?

>>389029512
Because it's my native language.

>>389028987
Same. I don't know why. I guess mostly out of habit because games were always in english. Or maybe it has something to do with the fact that only "kids" games were translated here in the past. So it just still seems childish.

3. translations are usually bad, sometimes they even translate names (spanish)
4. even if the translations are good, spain has like 4 video game voice actors, who all also voice TV or movie characters, and I'm sick of their fucking voices
5. it makes online talks and wiki browsing a pain in the ass, "santuario de enlace de fuego" is firelink shrine and that's not even the worst translations in DaS

Far Cry 4 is one of the only games I've ever seen (besides kids games) that had even subtitles for my native language, and it just feels fucking weird.

>>389029809
For europe it is, you guys are more afrika then EU

>>389029512
Same reason i prefer original Japanese audio, it sounds better because it's not native to me. Also games are fictional and listening to a foreign language is like listen to fantasy language set in that world.

No game has my native language supported, so no.

Localisation manager reporting in, this shit happens all the time, mostly because the translators just get dumped the text at short notice without context.

Translations are a big pile of fuck-ups really. The comedians providing the voices record them without context, the translators get a big fucking slab of text, nobody proofreads, nobody cares.

The worst I got was a translator translating "poleaxe" into fucking "polar axe".

>>389029512
Inconsistencies in translation are annoying as fuck. In 90% of times game is designed primarly for English, and that leads to plenty of oddities when translating into different languages.
Other reason is that most mods don't get translated into different languages, so after installing them you get mixed languages, which also bothers me.

>>389028779
No, I prefer English.

You know how Oblivion had like 5 voice actors total just doing slightly different voices? Imagine that but for every single game. No thanks.

I was born in a small village

I actually like when it doesn't have support for my language because
i) localization in my country is 99% of the time absolutely terrible
ii) dyglossia in my country makes it annoying to hear the weird accents they put on localizations and dubs, and
iii) it stops retards from enjoying the game.

>>389029512
Because I want to experience the game the way majority of the players will experience it.
Because English is the de-facto standard of the world and gaming (as well as reading books in English and speaking with people on the internet, also in English) helps me hone my language skills.

Now, there are several games I chose to not play in English (still used English subs, even if dub was my native lang), but those were the games where English spoken language basically ruined the experience - Metro is so much better with Russian dub/English sub, in Witcher Geralt sounds so much better in Polish, etc.

>>389029512
Because somehow everything would just look/sound weird and cringey.

>most translation done by foreigners uses pure local or formal language that the majority does not even understand what the fuck they are talking about or need to really think hard to know what they are saying
Just glad that this country is not gaming-worthy enough but I'm sad for the few fucks trying to learn this language as what they mostly learn is useless in most settings. I have seen some games being translated to our language and it is so formal that I translation is unusable.

>>389029671
This.
Unless its made here i wont play it in german.
Every medium is best consumed in the language it was originaly created in.

If you can't understand something in its source language, you don't deserve to experience it.

That's why I learned English, and why I have been studying Russian for the past year to one day start reading Dostoyevsky.

I am talking about Latin American Spanish for Diablo 3. I don't know if you have played Diablo 3, and I don't know what the situation was in Europe.

Almost every time there's Russian translation, the UI is completely fucked, words don't show or completely out of the box they supposed to be in. Translation itself can miss a bunch of important things, if the game updates half of the game stays untranslated, voice actors (if there's any) do everything wrong.

When it comes to video games, it's just a preference. Not because English is a beautiful language (it absolutely is not). It's because Dutch translations are usually somewhat lackluster, if at all present. In the case of voiced dialog, dubbing is generally frowned upon in the Dutch Language Area. It just feels clunky and cringeworthy for some reason.

The reverse is also true. Seeing Dutch material translated in English (though less relevant to video games, for obvious reasons) also makes me whince.

Translations usually get rid of all the subtilities of the original version. I'd play everything in its native language, were it not for the fact that I do not speak enough languages to do so. Fortunately, pretty much all games have an English translation, and due to the status of English as a modern Lingua Franca, Dutchmen have been blessed with the ability to understand the tongue of the Eternal Anglo.

>>389029512
English is usually the original and therefore best voice work, every translation into another language gets only a fraction of the english dub, and so they hire worse actors, give them less time, do less takes, and worst of all, often dont take care that the actors know the context of their lines, so they do a line that is supposed to be a response like it was a question, or the like.

>>389033031
>Helps me improving my english. Vocabulary, pronunciation
>pronunciation

How? I can understand english and different english accents but my pronunciation sucks ass, I guess not talking doesn't help.

>>389028779
>cant afford to pay for game unless it drops to $20 value bin
>expect people to cater to them

superior spaniard here. shitter mixed race spanish mutts need to get their priorities in check

Ofc not because I´m not a braindead frenchie/spaniard/italitard that cant watch/play/read anything that isnt in their native language

>>389037070
The classic most spoken language argument.

Means shit if there is no profitable market and it seems devs think exactly that.

>>389036667
This. You have no excuse. It's possible to learn English by just memorizing words and remembering how to construct grammatically correct sentences out of them with the use of some basic conjugations.

>>389029512
Translations are half assed
Reading in my native language requires me to reset the wiring of my brain like changing DVD's and get used to the wording
Everything is overly dramatic
It's often in Spaniard faggot Spanish who say shit like
Corathon
Instead of
Corazon
Because the z is th in spain

>>389029512
I have no reason to play it in Spanish instead, and if I want to talk about anything about the game on the internet or if I have to look up something I know the exact words used instead of having to retranslate back to English and risking differences.

Same reason I choose English when installing anything on my computer really, troubleshooting anything in Spanish is a pain.

>>389037156
>That said, it does piss me off when they leave negative reviews with the lack of their speshul snowflake language as the reason.

Happens a lot in spanish reviews.

>>389028779
Doesn't steam have a translator program? They give you a nice badge and everything. I remember years ago applying for it but some spaniard told me, told everybody, that they were only interested in non-latin american translators because the market was so small in south america and all we do is pirate anyways.

Last year they wanted to make money on Steam, fuck those guys.

Pretty sure that's just for Steam/Valve related stuff, not random games of your choice. At most, Valve games but the translation thing was mostly for the steam service.

>>389028779
I've refused to buy games because my native language was the only option. In most cases you really don't want french dubs in video games.

>>389028779
Yes. It's actually the reason why as a kid I bought a ps1 over a n64.
Nintendo refused to translate games in my language up to gen 6. Meanwhile all big games on ps1 were fully translated, even dubbed sometimes.
Fast forward to today, I don't mind playing games in English but if a game is translated in my language I'll rather buy it than a non-translated one.

>>389029512
translations are poor
I cant remember any case in which speach or written word was better in my native tongue (dutch) than the original language
I'd almost say english was simply a more exciting language

>>389037287
Honestly I can't stand the way anybody speaks spanish but my own. Have you heard a chilean speak it? Its awful.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kneUTYrKUzM

No, infact i'd rather avoid any games that are translated into finnish as all the translations i've seen so far are pretty cringeworthy

Mexican here

I was playing Shantae Half Genie Hero and the Spanish translation was atrocious

No really, seems like they used Google translate for it and called it a day

>>389037510
Fun fact, looking over the site showing the stats of translated material, there's a section for pirate.

>>389037727
I thought games with steam workshop support could have subtitles added, it should be a thing.

>>389037675
Yeah buddy, can't get enough dorilocos.

>>389037960
I know "you speak like you have a cock in your mouth" is a common insult that is often pretty inaccurate but I genuinely think it applies to chileans. Doesn't help that every single chilean I've known was a drooling retard.

>>389028779
there wouldn't be many games to play, english is universal language so everyone should include it

>>389030157
I've seen light(weight) armor translated as bright armor and (character)level as (building)floor

>>389038083
Make a suggestion on the steam forums. Who knows, the devs could offer some incentives since it's free work for them, get some other people to fact check, and get the translator something nice like merch, free dlc, etc.

>>389030598
Nintendo paid out the big bucks for localizations with that one. Basically all the dubs were surprisingly good.

>>389037287

>>389038282
I remember back when warhammer age of reckoning was released it used a machine translation for spanish, with some hilarious results.

I remember how the verb "train" was translated as a noun, but STILL used as a verb, conjugations and all.

It's hard for me to explain but long story sort, imagine if something was translated as "keyboard" but since it's a verb you went around keyboarding things.

>>389038432
Valve translated Dota 2 to chinese, I always thought that if it were translated to japanese with big time voice actors there would be tons of porn and doujins.

>>389028901
As a trump supporter I can say that we don't really know, but we'll try our best and hopefully we can move on with our lives after this vicious and malicious attack.

Gothic is like the only worthwile title playing with the original audio and text just because it's made by a german studio. Localizations just suck.

This but sort of unironically.

seems neat, but sadly it wont be possible to make the whole world learn one language, english is the closest we´ll get with the internet being mostly english and all.

I only ever play games in Japanese.

Translations and local dubs are always worse quality
Same reason I watch anime in japanese, the quality will always be better in the intended language

>>389029512
I play videogames for over 20 years now, and now brazilian dubs are becoming the norm, and that's only fot AAA titles. Too old to change now.

Besides that, my english is decent.

>>389029512
Translations suck so most of the time I can't even understand what it is trying to say. It just feels incredibly poor, so I save myself the trouble and put English. Also, I get to learn more words.

But theres no games on my native language. Just some old Hugo games and stuff.

>>389038653
>one fucking language
I actually think this is slowly happening.
Even isolated countries like Japan have English phrases thrown in.
Too bad we won't live to see the conclusion of this. Probably English mixed with other languages with a huge speaking population.

>>389039634
No, I mean legit ones. Like Hollow Knight's getting one.
>like civilization VI, they literally just used google translation, jesus fuck
what the fuck

And for a language like Chinese? That can't have gone well.

No.

>>389040105
I'm not implying that at all you stupid faggot.

>>389029512
Localised translations can never get any jokes right and the voice acting is always horrible.
Plus it's cringy to hear my own language.

>>389040069
This is true. Spanish is better on that front. However, English is a good deal more literary. Our stupid linguistics help on that front.

>>389040223
>English having a fuck huge vocabulary

He's got a point. Instead of "German two-handed sword", we say "Zweihander".

Most translations I've read in Finnish are translations of translations, which is less an ideal. The original language is always ideal, but if you have to settle for a translation don't settle for a one that's a translation of another one.

>>389031919

1. I like to delude myself into thinking that I've reached bilingual status
2. If a game is in english, obviously any documentation (stuff like fan wikis or tech trouble shooting etc.) thereof will be in english and people in my region or those that use my native language do a piss poor job at that.
3.Even when localized to my language, it's just subs and UI which is pointless since I understand the language anyways.
