The Babylonian Problem
I know many of my friends who would like to play a game like dominion - if they could only understand it.
While English is the dominating language in the world, not everyone speaks it and of those only a few have the vocabulary to translate texts with fantastic/mythological content. Of those who can, only a few are able to translate lots of this stuff while enjoying a movie or a game.
That said, I asked the guys of Illwinter some time ago whether they would be interested in a German translation of Dominions 3, which I am sure would have the potential for a much greater success, with Germany being the primary market for computer and video games in Europe.
During my travels I met some swedish girls who told me that the Nordic countries use nearly exclusively English media, be it TV or book or newspaper. This is not the case in other nations, and the game that hit's the German shelves without being translated first won't be seen in a long time.
So I ask you:
would a localized Version be beneficial for Illwinter?
