(2020) Russian and Chinese translation status.

Original Post

It's been a few weeks since we announced our decision to proceed with full Russian and Chinese translations for PS2, so I wanted to give a quick update on the process.

As of this morning, the company we contracted to do the initial translations should have everything back to us by the end of the month (March). Once we've received the drop, there is still a few weeks for integration and bug fixing. At this rate, barring any surprises, we should be on-track for a mid/late-April release of the new translations. However, I'll post an update later this month, once we've had a chance to integrate and get a better estimate on the work needed.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Thanks,
Andy

Not Russian or Chinese speaking, but how do you handle moving forward as more things are added and more content needs to be translated?

This is specifically the text translations that are in progress right now (HUD, weapons, descriptions, etc). This does not include voice-packs, etc.

Will you be able to choose these new languages from the EU client aswell? I have a chinese friend who lives in germany and who would love to play the game in chinese

You will be able to select any language from any client.

That's bizarre. This is new to us - thank you for the heads up.
