The German version of Tales will be out on the 26. of october.
The Publisher is Daedalic ("The whispered world"). They even got Norman Matt as Guybrush (he also did Curse and Escape in German and he is great).

No Spanish love?
Or this is going to be La Decepción Grande?

Sorry for double-posting.
This is a message for seher (Telltale's localization coordinator).
Please try as hard as you can to have a full Spanish localization!
There's a Spanish company that uses to put a great effort to obtaing quality localizations: FX Interactive. I think they also make Italian localization/distribution. They used to be known for distributing adventure games (The Longest Journey, Morpheus, Runaway, Jack Keane, Traitor's Gate, Sherlock Holmes...), although they lately are going more towards RPG/strategy games...
You can also contact Digital Bros (who distributed the last Runaway game, with a great dubbing work) or FriendWare (The Abbey, A Vampire Story, Ghost Pirates of Voujuu Island...)
Please, don't disappoint us, we Spanish adventure gamers are kinda upset after the Sam&Max Season 2 fiasco.

If ever it will be an official multilanguage translation of Telltales games alredy released, I hope you guys will provide free patches for who alredy brought those games

Javi-Wan Kenobi · 10/10/2010, 12:13 pm

It would be great, but it has never been that way.
The multilanguage release doesn't depend on Telltale, but on some international distributor.
Now, I'll be just happy if there IS a multilanguage release, even if I have to pay for it again (just like I did with the first two sam & Max seasons)

I know things are going that way

But I still hope that one day every gamers, worldwide, will enjoy the excitement to play this games in episodic form and in their own language, exactly the same way our American/English friends do, instead of waiting for a retail localized version that never will came up, eventually.

So I'm hoping in a native multilanguage support at the moment of the internet release of each episode, bypassing the local publishers. I mean, there are plenty of people, out there, that will translate this games gladly: how expensive could be for Telltale to hire some of them to do this officially instead of ask for the same thing at the local publisher?

All right, the local publisher usually brings the games in the stores too but, at this point, I don't mind the retail version at all. All I care is the game in itself and I can always buy the DVD version from the official Telltale store, if I want it into physical support.

nep4ron · 10/14/2010, 01:55 pm

Also would like to get a downloadable version of the german version. Don't want to pay again for a game I already have (twice DL+DVD).
Hope this will one day be possible.

Thanks.

Wohooo... the German Version comes on 9.11. (Birthday of my son

)
AND... in a lim. Edition in EUROBOX (like the old Boxes from MI1-4) - can`t
wait for it

*Vainamoinen* · 10/26/2010, 09:55 am

I just thought: "He can't mean 'eurobox', he just means that it doesn't come in a standard DVD case". But, indeed, they're releasing this in the now-antique eurobox format. Weird stuff.

The_Ripper · 10/26/2010, 10:13 am

Spain, once again, sadly forgotten.

TomPravetz · 10/26/2010, 10:20 am

I want my English vers-

Oh. Wait. Never mind. I'm cool. (If you all want, I could play the game for you translate the jokes into Russermanishanese.)

Which isn't Telltale's fault, I guess... publishers have to propose their intereset in a localization, don't they? So if no Spanish publisher says they want to do it, there's no Spanish version...

ric-82 · 10/26/2010, 11:30 am

The heck with the publishers

Who need them nowadays, with digital delivery direct market? Why the software houses can't simply translate their games for its own or, at least, release free translation tools for the fans?

Javi-Wan Kenobi · 10/26/2010, 01:10 pm

Telltale: Hire good translators and make downloadable language packs, available to buy for, say, $5 each extra language, when you previously own the English version.

ric-82 · 10/26/2010, 01:25 pm

Yes, that's a possibility and I would gladly pay for it but... think about it: the two Special Edition of Monkey Island, from Lucasart, came into Steam and Direct2Drive market with native multilanguage support, without extra fees and so a few other games (I think at "Broken Sword - Director's cut edition" for example) so I don't think it would be right to extra charge foreign costumers to let them play in their own mother language.

I mean, I know it is an extra cost for the software house to hire a translation team but, on other hands, the translated product will also open the doors to many other costumers left previously behind, so I think the translations will repay itself.

But in the Monkey Island case it was already translated into other languages, they just had to pick the data and put them into the game. At least I guess, that's how they did it. With some additional changes, due to dialouge changes. It is/was very cheap anyway, regarding how much work they put in the first release, in other countries and now remastering it.

What I mean to say is: I would understand and willingly pay some bucks for something like a translation-app, if I really wanted/needed it. Hell, I'll be paying about 40€ for the German localization next month. xD"

It's true, it was previously translated, but the subtitles for the new versions are different from the early one (at least, I'm speaking of the Italian subtitles, i don't know about other languages) so I'm sure they've translated the original text again, for some reason.

Heretic!

Bloody Eugene · 10/27/2010, 12:42 pm

BTW, I almost hate how TT is handling the translations.....
after more than 1 year no word on French, Spanish or Italian versions.... only the German one is out, and absolutely no word on the official TT website.
They also hired a "Localization coordinator" to make sure that no info on translations come out.

My thought:
I think TT earns more from the download of the English game than from the localized copy that has to pass through a publisher. That's why they are happy with fan-made subtitles - because we buy the english version and patch it.
IMHO TT is basically making profit upon fans that took translations on their shoulders and carefully translated in their own language and put them in a patch....

My wish for the future: TT has to clarify the localization strategy when the game is out.
IE: do the fans have to translate the new Back to the Future games by themself, or they can wait and buy a localized version soon?
