Missing languages discussion

[Murdered Again]

Telltale, why do you choose to not say anything?
There's a lack of respect to the ones that provide fan subtitles.
The fans do their best, with passion and love for your game, to make perfect subtitles, which may lead also to some more customers.
Fans translate with a lot of efforts, wasting their spare time.
Why don't you reassure them that their work worth something because you don't plan subtitles, or kindly tell them to stop because you're planning to release them later?

Because for legal liability reasons, Telltale can under no circumstances support or even comment on any mods of their games, including subtitles.

I disagree with you.

I don't think that's a problem saying: "We (TTG) are interested in implementing (official way) these languages​​..." or "We (TTG) are absolutely not interested in implementing (official way) these languages​​...".

There is someone who wants to implement unofficial fan mods in the game BECAUSE TTG

1 - has not implemented that language in the game
2 - (more important) say nothing about the possibility that this language is implemented in the future

Nobody wants that TTG comments the unofficial activity of fans, but it would be nice if TTG comments on HIS OWN activities (such as, for example, THE INTENTION to implement or not a language in the game. I repeat, THE INTENTION, I'm not saying the official implementing)

[Vainamoinen]

This should of course read: For legal liability reasons, Telltale can under no circumstances support or even comment on any unofficial mods of their games, including subtitles.

Yes, of course they could comment on their plans. But sometimes these comments also stand in the way of the execution of these plans, and sometimes plans are so insecure that official comments would only awaken hopes in the community TTG might not be able to fulfill eventually. Let's just say they had their fair share of those situations.

If languages would, like in most Seasons before, be implemented by another publisher in the target country, it would be far too early to announce anything anyway.

Couldn't they state "we are working on arrangements to provide local publishers and let them to decide if they want to localize the game"?
Couldn't they state "right now we're just providing Spanish as additional language; other languages could be take in consideration after we finish with spanish, but now we've no plans about it"?
Couldn't they state "Right now there are no plans to release other languages. We'll inform you if these plans change"?
Couldn't they state "We're thinking about it, but right now nothing is defined, we'll keep you informed when other languages will be took in consideration"?

Just don't leave us in a limbo.

Il y à bien des sous-titres Anglais?

Not saying anything IS a clear statement. It is just not the answer you are searching for...

Bonsoir , je pense que vous abusai comme même un peut de vendre un jeu sans VOSTFR dans notre pays sans le signaler sur xbla , et de mettre en plus un descriptif de votre jeu en français , je l'ai acheter sans savoir qu'il n'était pas vostfr , imaginez ma déception et je ne pense pas êtres le seul européen dans le même cas en tous cas la traduction fr devrait vraiment vous faire réagir , et nous divulguer si oui ou non vous voulez la faire , a la place de nous faire poiroté pendant que les espagnol auront bientôt leur trad : Mad:

The problem is not about learning english or not, like some folks said before there is a big Walking Dead community right here in Europe and ignored them is quite disappointing.

Not everyone is able to speak a fluent English and even for those who speak a little it's still pretty hard to understand sometimes.

Making some subtitles for the major European languages such as French, German or Spanish would be great and that wouldn't take too much work i think.

[Vainamoinen]

I'm just playing "Bastion"... and can't get English subtitles in that game. The German ones the game forces on me, however, are SO FUCKING BAD that this thing is almost unbearable. The narrator is consistently translated with a completely wrong character in mind.

Seriously, establishing cooperation with publishers in the target country and releasing halfway proper translations on retail DVD made by them seems to be the more sensible option. Telltale have done this quite often in the past and I hope this will work out the same way with TWD. But it does take more time, and ongoing negotiations are not to be disclosed.

[ADavidson]

I'm sure they'll get around to it, they usually do. It could be worse, at least you can get the game already if you're in those countries.

I fart in your general direction

[Murdered Again]

mmm...
According to someone that looked inside the texture content of the Ep.1, there are 4 textures that are national flags. Maybe they are icons for a future language menu? The flags are for these regions:

-English
-French
-German
-Spanish

As usual Italian is not considered....
maybe we should open a Kickstarter project to have them???

[DarkRaven1307]

Hello Community and Staff

I wanted to ask if given the success that now is assured of The Walking Dead.
Why not think about doing some localization of this game?
I'm Italian and I love this game and like millions of people around the world.
Around us are amateur translators who have permission to enjoy your masterpiece in my language but unfortunately this only works on PC as on consoles would be Illegal.
I hope someone can answer me to indicate whether it is due to location and what language.
Thanks for your attention and sorry for my english.
