Rejected Ability to play in your own language on ANY (foreign) world

[Markus Stormrider]

Reason

Some people might want to play on different (foreign) worlds but cannot because they don't understand the game texts there

Details

Via your settings, select your ingame language, and that's it. All texts displayed will be in the language you selected. Of course only languages that are currently (already) supported will be listed, but maybe in the future Innogames can add more, even for languages of countries that even do not have a server!

NB: like said above, the current rules for messaging and chats remain the same; the language select only happens for ingame texts.

Balance

The game features will not change at all. However, it may be possible that some servers receive some "tourists" from other parts of the (real) world, because they want to try that server as well. Maybe this would generate extra income for Innogames that way as well :)

Abuse Prevention

No abuse possible

Summary

This idea might give all worlds a little population boost, and allows Innogames to make actual (real) international worlds playable by people of all languages (although the main spoken language on chat and forum should remain English ofc).

Have you looked to see if this has already been suggested?

I cannot remember of anyone ever requesting this before

Currently you are required to view the game in the foreign language, even if you cannot read it, or speak it. This is strange; most browser games allow you to select your own language, even if the world itself resides on a foreign server. So why not enable this here as well? Obviously this only applies to INGAME texts and messages; you will still have to speak/use the local language of the server on ANY chat channel, and as main language of communication between guilds and players (for messages: unless they agree to speak your language of course).

isn't that the reason why so many different language versions of the game exist

yes, but they are only playable on those worlds, with their time zone, and only their language. i want it possible to view the game in your own language on those worlds too. plus, some countries have multiple language native as well, they cannot choose their playing language

Server language is mandatory. You can not agree to speak another language. Any comments in another language you can only place with a translation to the server language.

Thanks for sharing the Rules, but they are INNO's rules which makes them subject to revision any time that they want. I don't have a clue how much work it would be translate in-game messages or if it's even possible. However, I can see where being able to play on a server outside of my home country could be fun. Also, it would enable players from countries with native languages not presently represented by the current servers an opportunity to play FOE. So, why not?

Like they have done in the last 7,5 years? The chance of a new language world is more likely.

 

[nederlander]

this is on the DNSL actually:

New worlds with other game conditions

playing with a different text language can be viewed as a new game condition, and applying it to any world makes it a new world with an (other) game condition

therefore, this may not be suggested at all (sorry)

 

[Velvet Thunder]

Thank you for your suggestion. Unfortunately I cannot forward this as it did not get the required amount of support.
