Title: AH2.... En Espagnol!!
Post by: slipknot on July 24, 2008, 11:29:03 AM
I think it's high time that HTC got with the program and offered a spanish version of the game... And no, I don't just mean the sounds--although an HTC generated Spanish soundpack would be appropriate.

AH2 Spanish, as I'm tentatively calling this project, must translate all written text into the language, including all text within the airplane cockpits, in the base, etc...

We cannot ignore the changing needs of the computer-literate marketplace. It is simply offensive and irresponsible to assume that English remains the only language necessary for our lives in the virtual world of AH.

Please make this addition soon, and don't think that this is the end, either. AH Ebonics isn't something you can just pretend doesn't matter.

We're all in this together.

Be vigilant.

I'll start contributing by translating (Google translator) your post to Spanish:

Creo que es hora de que HTC obtuvo con el programa y ofreció una versión en español del juego ... Y no, no significa sólo los sonidos - a pesar de ser una HTC generado español soundpack sería apropiado.

AH2 español, así que estoy llamando tentativamente este proyecto, debemos traducir todos los textos escritos en la lengua, incluyendo todo el texto dentro de las cabinas de mando de aviones, en la base, etc ..

No podemos ignorar las necesidades cambiantes de la computadora-alfabetizados mercado. Es simplemente ofensiva e irresponsable asumir que Inglés sigue siendo el único idioma necesario para nuestras vidas en el mundo virtual de AH.

Por favor, compruebe esta adición pronto, y no creo que este es el final, ya sea. AH Ebonics no es algo que sólo puede pretender no importa.

Estamos en esto juntos.

Estar atentos.

If HTC did something this stupid, I'd save $15/mo.  I mean, what did mexico contribute to WW2?  Maybe 1 P-47 Squadron?

Post by: HighTone on July 25, 2008, 11:39:30 PM
Yes, Yes, I know this is a rant, but darn it I never get to say my peace and this has been bothering me for a while... :furious

It seems every time Mexico is mentioned there is always a series of insults/degrading comments made.  I am wondering why that is.  The 201 Squadron or the "Aztec Eagles" as they were called, fought and died providing air support for OUR guys on the Ground. 

In total, the 201 flew 96 missions, with 785 Offensive sorties, they dropped over 950 1,000lb bombs on the Japanese in the Philippines and Formosa as well as 500, 500lb bombs, and they pumped over 166,000 rounds of ammunition into the enemy.  Of the 31 Mexican pilots, 5 did not return home   No air victories were recorded because the japs had no air cover in that part of the Pacific.  It should be noted that it is against the Mexican constitution to send soldiers to die on foreign battlegrounds, this is the one and only time Mexico has done it, and it was done to support us. 

The Mexican ground support soldiers engaged Japanese soldiers consistantly, inflicting losses and taking enemy prisoners.  At the end of the war, the 201 was credited by the US Army for having killed or taking out of action over 30,000 Japanese troops.  :salute.  That is 30,000 more japs that our guys would have had to deal with if not for these veterans. 

Additionally, all of Mexico went on extreme rationing to give US raw materials and oil, confiscated several German tankers and supply vessels, and basically gave the U.S. all the support it could give.  I dont think I need to tell anyone here how important raw materials were in WWII.

At wars end General Douglas MacArthur said of the 201 “I have watched over its combat activities with growing pride and admiration, and for that reason upon leaving (the Phillipines) I have said goodbye to them with sadness and affection.”

But these Mexican veterans of WWII don’t receive the respect given to all other allied, and even axis countries.  Instead they get “border patrol” jokes.  Heck, AH2, for as many skins as we have wont even provide one for the 201.   

I wonder if the American Soldiers under the wings of the mexican flown P47, would have wished them back in mexico  ;)

And yes I plan to repost this on the mexican jug thread....


and no disrespect to thoese mexicans that flew...

But try this go to mexico and tell them that you don't understand their language and you want them to speak english...see what that gets ya.

You really should try to leave your own back yard before offering opinions of which you really are not qualified to discuss, see the picture below

(http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p185/pxdig/AH2puertopenasco.jpg)


This picture was taken about a year ago when I was riding my bike with friends in Puerto Penasco Mexico.  Yes, that is a sign in MEXICO in ENGLISH.  so much for your silly point.

I can also tell you there were at least a hundred RVs, most of which were flying NASCAR, confederate, and American Flags.  I can also tell you no Mexican had the knee jerk, "love it or leave" , tear it down, they are taking over, OMG we are loosing our country !!!  reaction we have here.

But this will only surprise you if you have never traveled or otherwise had an opportunity to expand you limited horizons.  As a member of the US Armed Forces, I traveled to Thailand, Phillipines, Malaysia, Japan, Korea, and ROC.  All of which had signs in english seemingly all over the place as well as special "tourist" police to help out any foreigners.  This includes Mexico.  Of course you wouldn't know about this, since you probably never left west virginia, or a similar place.  Even Saddam Hussein had the demonimation of his money in ENGLISH.

 I just find it shameful that we as the most powerful, richest country in the would cannot accomodate our neighbor and second largest trading partner, but the entire world at least tries to help and accomodate others.

Not for "Mexicans", ggeezzzz, you have to be from the backwoods,

A spanish pack (language) should be available for;

mexicans
Peruvians
Costa Ricans
Puerto Ricans (US Citizens)
Panamanians
Columbians
Venezuelans
Argentinians

Better yet, let me just say that it should be available for the entire Western Hemisphere.  With the exception of the Brazil, U.S. and Canada.  Of course also Spain. 

now you are going to make an ignorant remark about how they only have tacos and not the internet or some crap like that, so, please dont and just let it go.  I am realizing that I cannot educate everyone with a small mind and narrow horizons.

with Flight controllers made in China

With speakers assembled in Korea

next to a printer assembled in Mexico

Enjoyed by cyber pilots all over the world.

AH2 a game based on a world struggle where the entire world banded TOGETHER to act as ONE to aid EACH OTHER in order to defeat tyranny.  Amazing how the greatest generation helped other countires unconditionally, (lend lease, Marshall Plan) because they knew we dont live in a vaccum and things that occurr "over there" will affect us. 

This will be my final post on this subject, since  the only thing left is for someone to throw out the usual last argument of the near sighted, "AMERICAN FING LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT".  As if that was the point from the very begining.

That's not an easy one, as few translators can grasp all the details.

Did you know that there are 23 different words for "vulch" in Snail, depending on what kind of vulch it was? (Enemy's engine running, enemy moving but not airborne, vulche was witnessed, vulch with rockets, etc). Same for "pick", whereas running and extending are the same in that language.

We are all created equal, in this together, part of the same flock, part of the same society.

[sarcasm overdrive] not only should AH make this game in spanish, but they should make the option for English NOT be the default... IN other words, the game should be set to spanish when it loads, and then you must select numeral 1 to activate English... [/sarcasm overdrive]

Well put and completely accurate... I think that the Spanish version should take priority, though, lest the Spanish-speaking American populace get offended.

Call it a burrito, call it a crepe, call it Moo Shi... It's still just junk rolled into a pancake... And we're all into this together.

Wow you found an sign in English in mexico... that doesn't prove anything. If you had a country where your nations second greatest source of income is  from an English speaking country you would put your signs in English as well. They want to let your and your hombre know where to spend your American curency. I don't see Texas on your list of travels, I live there and every other sign I see is in spanish. You really like mexico huh? You and your boyfriend must of had a good time.
