I wonder why so many people living in the US automatically think in South America as soon as the read "Spanish" somewhere.

Maybe TTG should make a forum for racist ignorants like you...

Damn! Are you people idiots? The dude very clearly said that he was from Sweden. Hear is an idea... Instead of trying to start World War 3 on the Telltale forums, how about we just stop talking about other people's countries. I myself am from the US & you won't see me talking about other people's country in a negative fashion. It pisses me off how everybody just assumes that the guy who is being an asshole is from the US. Just because you speak english doesn't mean you are American. Truth be told, I don't know anybody who thinks ill of any other country (minus a few racist rednecks who hate Mexico). So just grow up & stop talking negatively about other people's homelands.... not just mine, but anybody's. Good day to you sir!

I tried using 6 different automatic translation services from this page
List
and it seems that the last one was the most accurate one
Try using this one next time

Traducción(poco corregida)
Translation (little corrected)

As for comparing to wallace and gromit with resident evil. I did it because harlequ1n was affirming that those games were not for children and I have tried to demonstrate my point of view with games that if that do not belong to children beacose they are of fear and terror and I have exaggerated very much with the satire and the translator becomes a madman. I advise that if someone does not understand the translation, it(he,she) should copy what is in Spanish that if this one expressed well and a good translator of Internet uses. Again I apologize but i'm a spanish man

Oh in that case i apologize. I did not know you were joking and its especially hard to spot one when you are using an automatic translator.
I have not played the Wallace and gromit games before, but based from the youtube vids i think it looks suited for kids

es verdad esto es una vergüenza mira que nos dejan de lado los de habla hispana y eso que somos muchos más lo que deberiamos de hacer es no comprar nunca más ni uno de sus juegos siempre apoyando y esperando este juego para esto discriminación pues que les den por mi parte si no lo sacan en español no lo voy a comprar y no se lo voy a aconsejar a nadie y eso que varios de mis amigos somos acerrimos a esta serie si no esta en habla hispana no deberia de ponerse a la venta en ningun pais que se hable este idioma España y casi toda sud Amirca asi ariamos presion en Italia si no viene por lo menos sub en italiano no se pone a la venta asi deberiamos de ser somos tontos y por eso nos toman por tontos.

[Javi-Wan Kenobi]

Pon puntos.
Pon comas.
Cuida tu ortografía.
Y quizá entonces alguien NO te tome por tonto.

Use dots.
Use commas.
Watch your spelling.
And maybe then someone DON'T think you're stupid.

You sure about that? There are some italians around here. Ask them how many games have they received without any sort of Italian language translation. Maybe you'll think again what you said.

The only countries not allowing official release of games not being in their language (text translation being required as minimun) are the English-speaking ones.

You guys want Monkey Island in Spanish?

Well why dont you make a 9 page thread about it urgh

[nikasaur]

This issue is being discussed, but we don't have any information to share. When we know, you will know, rest assured.

[hplikelike]

Claim it's educational and "teaches kids Spanish with fun pirate visuals."

Thanks for the info nikasaur.

¿Tienes un link o prueba oficial donde TTG asegure que ToMI no va a salir en español?

Además, cuándo entenderéis de una puñetera vez que TTG NO hace las traducciones, son los EDITORES en Europa los que localizan los juegos. Todos vuestros berrinches, lloriqueos y pataletas no van a cambiar la situación. Si esperasteis 9 años para jugar un nuevo Monkey Island, esperad un año más la localización del juego o haced algo con vuestras vidas y aprended inglés mientras jugáis... ¿o es demasiado esfuerzo?

PD/ Si no quieres aprender inglés, al menos aprende a escribir en tu propio idioma de forma decente.

Quejarse nunca viene de mas, conformarse solo a traido siempre que ignorasen a los usuarios, como a pasado por ejemplo con metal gear cuando se cambia su doblaje y la gente lo ignoro y compro en masa, al ver que funciona ¿que hicieron? pues nada seguir con lo mismo, que lo vayan a traducir mas adelante, si al menos ven que hay gente que le importa hay mas posibilidades, si ven que a la gente le da igual.

hay muchas menos es un poco de cabeza, quizas en vez de insultar a la gente deberias pensar reflexionar y luego responder.

y mientras la gente hace algo en sus vidas y aprende el ingles de un videojuego que les servira de mucho en la vida aprender el ingles de monkey island seguro que con eso pueden defenderse en la vida cotidiana....

porque no haces algo tu tambien en la vida y aprendes a respetar a los demas que no les guste algo, ¿oh tienen que opinar, decir y hacer lo que a ti te de la gana?.

Lo siento señor/a Franco murio hace tiempo.

Cya

by the other hand, please translate the game telltale games boys.

I wouldn't mind to wait as much as needed if that means LucasArts handling the localization and investing as much as they did in previous installments, assuming they still have the willing to do that.

Please don't take all these petitions and moans to do a quick and sudden, but rather poor and rushed effort. Monkey Island deserves more.

JAJAJA, soy cubano, compañero. Ya ves lo que me importa Franco

This will be my final reply to this topic as a TTG representative already stated that the translations "are coming". It might appear that I'm against it which is not the case as even I would like to try some Spanish subs. Sorry if my somewhat harsh replies to this topic offended anyone.

Agree, this is a good idea.
LucasArts always did localizations to their games, and assuming that the license is still owned by them, they would lend a hand to Telltale and make the translations "in EFIGS (English French Italian German and Spanish), like JediMudkip from LucasArts in their forums said

At last, It's Monkey Island "from LucasArts", not any other unknown game and Telltale seems to can't handle the big quantity of tasks

Spanish is the 3rd or the 2nd most widely spoken language.

The numbers on the wiki page is a bit misleading, if you read the note under English, it says:

Possibly well over 1,500,000,000 worldwide.[8] Also see List of countries by English-speaking population which numbers 850,000,000 worldwide (as a total of first and additional language spoken).

Take a look at the countries shown on the List of countries by English-speaking population which is quite interesting when you check the European countries.

[PirateUnwritten]

Im against translation to spanish because apparently they need to start learning english. And by denying them any other language than english, they will basicly run to a english teacher or start reading english ASAP because they BADLY wanna play this game.

So telltale, please do the earth a favour and dont give a crap about all this translation whining. English FTW

No veo por qué creer ciegamente lo que diga una página cualquiera en vez de lo que diga oficialmente Telltale en su sitio web.

Lo que pone en esa ya mil veces mencionada página de 3Djuegos es una interpretación/traducción de lo que les dijeron en Telltale, que a lo mejor no era con las mismas palabras exactamente y pudo ser mal interpretado. Quién sabe. Lo único que está claro y en lo que no caben malentendidos es en lo que pone Telltale oficialmente en su página:

"Will I be able to play Tales of Monkey Island in my mother tongue?

That depends. If your mother tongue is English, then you're in luck! If it's not English, well, you won't be able to yet. We do hope to localize Tales of Monkey Island in the future, but initially the episodes will be English only."

Ese texto aparece en el FAQ:
http://www.telltalegames.com/monkeyisland/faq

Ahí dice claramente que esperan localizar Tales of Monkey Island en el futuro, aunque inicialmente los episodios sean sólo en inglés.

Así que ahí tienes tu prueba fehaciente de que van a hacer traducciones. Yo me creo más lo que diga directamente Telltale que lo que 3Djuegos o cualquier otra página diga sobre lo que les haya dicho Telltale

In short: This guy keeps on repeatedly posting about this "3Djuegos" (3Dgames) website which says Telltale told them they have no plans to release localized versions of ToMI. And to that I say that it could just be a misunderstanding on their part or maybe it was poorly translated and Telltale just meant "no translations for now". The only clear thing is what's stated at the official FAQ (link above), where they say they "hope to localize Tales of Monkey Island in the future".

Ok, during all this thread I've been in the "stop whining and learn English" side

But in fact, I've never been against the translations. I just said that they should stop whining because a translation will eventually be made anyway.

This time I'll align with their side and say:
How would you like to have the whole game in Spanish with no subtitles?
