"special" fonts, a little and simple wish

[Gianlupo]

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.

I'm just wishing the keyboard support, not the language that would mean to translate the whole game and as it is now.

That's the point, precisely! We're just asking for keyboard and characters support, something that shouldn't be that difficult to add. Each key on the keyboard has a specific code that is the same for every keyboard in any configuration all around the world: it's the OS that, being set to the right language set, interpret the code as a given character. I can use my Italian keyboard as an American one, I just have to tell to the OS to interpret the keyboard as American.

I think HTC just have to insert the same type of code to give us support for different keyboard:that's not the hard part, it's done in a lot of games. More time consuming, maybe, would be to add the specific characters to be displayed in the text buffer, honestly I don't have a clue of how difficult it could be.

HTC already states that they support the english language.  Americans aren't english, yet we speak it ok (more or less). If the relatively few players from non-english speaking countries can play the game already, why does HTC need to spend time on this? If someone wants to volunteer their time, then by all means do.
I'd rather they concentrate on the game than on the text bar.

There aren't a 'relatively few' foreign players from non-English speaking countries, they actually make up a significant part of the player base.  Adding additional support languages just opens the door to more customers, never a bad thing to do especially in these economic times.

And especially since it shouldn't take that much time to do what we're asking for.

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! 
just my 0.02 €

i think we should have flying boats

I'm fairly fluent in Spanish...I know enough to get by if I had to but...you bi-lingual guys on here amaze me. Some of you speak better English than some English/American people...on top of speaking your Native language. I think you guys more than deserve this, and as many said it shouldn't be too hard for HTC to program. Much respect.

Just remember that English is the international language of aviation.

Hey!

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

Now this is funny...

It would be interesting to know what percentage and from what county that AH players are from. That would be Über.
