"special" fonts, a little and simple wish

[chewie86]

when I'm chatting with someone italian like me I cant use the letters with accent, and we use them very often in our language. May they be added ?   using the apostrophe as accent steals the little msg's space!

yep!

That would be nice! And, after all, I think it would require only little work, HTC just have to make the game read the keyboard as an Italian one instead of as an American one!

Please, HTC, give us this little gift for Xmas.

This is an american game... they would need to do all languages and not just italian, so I'd say this isn't going to happen

As an American, I am embarrassed by this response. I think these gentlemen know that this is an American game. That's not the point.

Xenophobic chest thumping is completely out of place here. There is no law to say they have to do it for all languages; it's funny how America-centric types usually chide political correctness, but as soon as it advances one of their arguments, it is used as the centerpiece.

If it really is that easy to code, do it for the languages that are most commonly found in this game. I know we have a pretty big Italian community, an even larger Finnish community, and several Spanish speaking players. I'm sure there are others. Should not be a difficult addition.

I've also met Dutch, French and Portuguese speakers, and don't forget the Swedes!

Oooh Oooh! And the Germans.

[Lusche]

Oooh Oooh! And the Germans.

Pffft... they sück

[Denholm]

Hey!

If it weren't for the Japanese and us, you wouldn't be playing this game.

Correction: This game was created in the U.S. but it caters to a world-wide player base. I think they (HTC) will improve on it over time.

As usual, Lusche makes an unassailable point.

But seriously, why not add fonts for other languages? Makes no difference to me, other than the fact that eavesdropping might get a little more difficult.

I humbly request that HTC add Navajo and Hangul first.

well thank you, you know me so well, I'm actually half norwegian and bi-lingual, and up until i turned 18 i was a dual citizen of Norway and the US, I was just stating they would need to add every language and not just italian, being that I am cultured and have traveled through most of Europe, i know that alot of Europeans speak English, as these guys are now. I was just stating that since Americans made the game it's just a convience factor being that most people know at the very least broken english.

but no i'm just an ignorant american with a skewed world view, what would i know.

[Ack-Ack]

I was just stating they would need to add every language

No they wouldn't.  All HTC would need to do is state what languages the game supports and only add support for those languages.  For example, FFXI is global game with players all over the world but yet only supports 4 languages (Japanese, English, French and German) and has support for those languages.  HTC can easily do the same.


ack-ack

well i was just trying to get the point across that i'm all for it and i'm all for reaching out to new players from all over the world, what ever they have to do, they should do, i just assumed it would be a huge undertaking to configure everything, but apparently not

I'm just wishing the keyboard support, not the language that would mean to translate the whole game and as it is now would mean also to translate the website open a dedicated section in the forum etc (at fair things done).. It could be done too tho but would require a lot of time and energy.
The game it's ok, I would love to see multi-country/platform keyboard mapping with international used fonts!
