    Heck, with the US Southwest and California, I'm surprised there isn't an official Spanish version.

    Okay, so the Germans and French are happy. What about Spaniards and Latinos?

    This is a good thing. I'm from the US but I'm mostly up at night due to my job being late night hours. Now I don't have lose any sleep just to squeeze in something. ;) You Spaniards, keep your chins up! I'm sure you'll get something too!

    Danke !

    So does this mean that we will also get the German and Frensh Forums back that were closed due to low traffic? (at very least there should be a general-talk and a SUPPORT section, i know traffic is lower in these languages, most of us do indeed understand english, but some don't and they need a place to get support, be it player to player or with some QA people in there)

    There are 27 EU countries, each having different official languages. Some of them have more than one :rolleyes:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Languages_of_the_European_Union#Knowledge
    2/3rds of people (skewed towards the young - IE people who would play MMORPGs) in Sweden, Malta, Holland, Denmark, Cyprus, and Finland speak English. Norway and Iceland have similar numbers.
    Half or more speak it in Germany, Slovenia, Austria, Belgium, and Luxembourg. Remember this is conversational. Near half speak it in Croatia, Greece and Estonia.

    English alone reaches 51% of EU citizens. German reaches 32% and French reaches 26%. Some people speak both or all three of these languages, but my estimate is that 2/3rds of EU citizens can speak one of these three, 3/4th of them young, and that 80% of those who have an interest in ever playing STO would know one of these languages.

    If Russian, Spanish, and Italian were added, I would say that the overwhelming majority of EU citizens could play the game in a language in which they could hold a conversation.

    New Event times, Yes. Are these going to be listed in CET or UTC/GMT anywhere or are we going to have to work out conversions?

    I should brush up on my french. I don't think "Je suis parle francais tres tres petite" is going to cut it anymore!!! :D


    (the joke is that I've literally said "I am I speak French very very small" which is a god-awful way of translating what I want to say into French)

    BrankFlakes, if PWE is interested in Hebrew translations I'll be more than happy to provide with extended assistance. :)

    hello im star trek online player and I speak for many Spanish speakers who would not be wrong to translate the game well but would encourage us to buy more game content.
    because there are many things we do not understand to be in English.

    translated by google

    This is unfair I think we are discriminating, Spanish is the second most spoken language in the world. (no offense)

    The Star Trek phenomenon has been an international one for a very long time. While it's been pointed out that more localization is desired, I feel that this step by PWE/Cryptic is a significant one. And would like to acknowledge these efforts.

    When will Spanish localization be done? Hmmmm? After all, North America/South America/Caribbean/Europe has many spanish speakers(Myself included among the number).

    The new slots should really help me with my odd work schedule. I hope high school French will be enough to understand what the rest of the team wants me to do.

    And still no Spanish translation, one of the most spoken languages in the world. With things like this I understand why my friends don't want to try the game.
