I tend to prefer all my games to be in english (even those made in my mother tongue, unless the anglicization is not awful).
English, Chinese, Japanese. Technically my mother tongue is Chinese, but I prefer most games and reading materials to be in English anyway.
I consider myself to be most articulate in English. There are some... abstract concepts that I cannot express in Chinese without consulting a dictionary.
German, English and i'm learning German Sign Language for half a year now
English and French.
French is my mother tongue, and I practice english every day in New York.

For my part, I prefer to enjoy games, movies and books in the language they have been designed/recorded/written initially. You always lose something in any translation/captioning/dubbing.
Depends, but I'm speaking about games, as I see it as the underlying subject.
When the original version makes my ears or eyes cry blood, then it's not a big loss (hint: it's that way most of the time).
Italian, English and a little bit of German.
Dutch as native. English, mediocre German, a little Swedish and with that a bit of Norwegian just because they have much in common.
I speak, Danish, English and a smattering of german.
English and very rudimentary spanish.
english and some spanish..
oh and pig latin :)
West Flemish :) (Dutch dialect)
Dutch (native)
English (used daily)
French (but don't let me conjugate most verbs in different tenses ??? )
But I prefer my games just like movies in the original language (if it's one of the above ofcourse or with subtitles)
English! and a teeeensy bit of German and Swedish... Do not look to me for localization :)
German (native), French (as a swiss i was forced) and English
some very little japanese but I didn't select it in the poll...
English, and Spanish ( With a bad accent )
Well, I was born in Portugal but have lived in Scotland since I was a babby (my mother is Scottish). So not long ago I decided to learn Portuguese, technically my home language. I know a little bit, enough to have a small conversation. : P
I can help with the spanish translation. ;)

High five! I didnt select French, because I suck so bad at it hurts.
I prefer my games in english though. Not sure why - one point may be that most of them use prefix/suffix to address quality of items, and that just sounds super-weird in german. Other than that, it helps me practice my english.
English on "I get what you mean, but OH MY GOD YOUR ACCENT HURTS!" level and Polish (native).
Fluent Portuguese, passable English, awful German and Spanish despite having studied multiple semesters on language courses for both...
English and, like, toddler-level French.
English, and since my mom's side of the family hails from western Germany, enough German to get me into trouble.
"Ein grosse Bier, bitte!"
I speak
Dutch (native)
English (quite well, I lived in the USA and I use it every day)
Spanish (I currently live in Peru helps me learn it faster)
French ( though I'm not that good. I had it for 6 years in high school though)
German (similar to my French though a bit better due to the simularities with Dutch)
But I have to say that all games I play are in English even when Dutch translations are available. Even though I can't speak for all Dutch people I know that all my Dutch friends do likewise.
In spanish
And i can talk a few of english too
i speak English, Spanish and German.... fluently in both writing and speech. I make videos on my youtube channel in 3 languages too! i make a lot of "indie game lets plays" to show the world what they are missing out on.
ive made a "rim world story" video (http://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=874.0)
Good luck
Viel Glück
Mucha Suerte
Norwegian(mother tongue),english(learning),swedish and danish understanding
I prefer english games.helps very much at school in english class and befriending the minority class
c#
Native french
Medium english (can read and understand books, movies and people)
Low-medium esperanto (can read and understand easy texts and people)
Low spanish
Russian, Dutch, Bulgarian. Learning English... in Russia we hate americans and english people so hard that we dont learn english in de beginings classes (we begin learning english when we are 14 xD) i hate dutch people especially couse their dumb greenpeace activists lol dutch schools are full with niggas and turkeys so i will never return to that fucked country.. godverdomme
English, i know a few words in some other languages but that's about it.
Polish and some English, but I could translate. :)
German and English :)
My mother tongue is Polish, but I speak English as well, I find it a lot more precise. I sometimes can't express something in Polish that I have in my mind in English without looking it up in a dictionary.
This and AutoIt and C++.
English, French, Czech, C++, PHP, Javascript, Java and some basics of Latin grammar.
As I am a norwegian dude, I obviously speak Norwegian. And as most norwegians I understand most Swedes, and if a danish dude is talking s l o w l y it is more or less understandable.
OTOH; reading Danish is way easier then Swedish. Probably have something to do with the 400 year union we had from aprox 1400 to 1814.
And ofcourse, written English is almost as normal as written Norwegian. And within the *'nerdy stuff' I do prefer English litterature over the Norwegian material.
While speaking english I obviously have a rather 'Norwenglish' accent. But I use it as much as I can, and I guess that is the reason english ppl have a HARD TIME learning Norwegian in Norway, cause we rather wanna practice our English, then them practice their Norwegian.
'NFO' ... The 'programming language' used to make addons to OpenTTD
Also, my wife have tought me some Klingon :P
* Wiki articles, computer stuff, have my OS in english rather then Norwegian, set in-game or in-software language to English instead of Norwegian, etc...
forgot to check english when i submitted. my parents are russian, so i learned from them.
Finnish & (Fenno-)Swedish, by birth and inheritance. I am Fennoswede and all that.
I do consider my English skills to be quite sufficient.
Well, I am not able to have any sort of intellectual discussion in the following, however I am able of uttering a phrase or two in German, Russian, French, Japanese and `Murrican. ;D
Not to forget the fact that most Nordic languages (Swedish, Norweigan, Icelandic & Danish) resemble eachother quite a lot, lowering the language barrier to somewhat surmountable levels.
- French (native)
- English
- German (low level. Medium when drunk.)
- Breton (really basic level)
English and Swedish, but I am against translation of games, in general.
I've tried playing Battlefield 2-3-4 in Swedish and I can't because I end up falling off my chair I'm laughing so hard at the commands.. I can't imagine any game benefitting very much from a translation :P
EDIT: Started learning Chinese, and will soon pick up German too.
English and Japanese, though my Japanese is a bit rusty. Haven't spoken conversationally in a long time.
English, Esperanto, and a fair bit of Spanish. Tried to learn German; all I remember is a few small phrases like "Ich bin krank".
From my strongest to my weakest:
French (native), english (bilingual, academic level), hebrew (fluently spoken), and a little bit of spanish. And I want to learn japanese now :p
English, and Swedish
And can't spell or read any of then :P

maybe it's possible for player to 'mod' the lang. by themself. I got this idea from early 'minecraft'.
I edit all text to my home region dialect :p
If needed i wanna help translate from English to Dutch (Nederlands).
In fact i'm going to start translating text from the game to Dutch...

Same, I'm totally ready to translate the game to French ^_^ A lot of games use text/xml (as it seems that RimWorld <3 XML) files to save the language strings. So if Tynan do that, we could translate it in any language we want (Yes even 1337 5|*34|< ) :))
darn
since i know almost nothing from codes i must af f*cked things up... game would start up, give some translations but the collors are... messed up big time :p
Maybe i't a possibilaty to have some kind of file that contains all words/sentences that can be translated for the game.
I don't know if it's possible to use code to refer to that file and the needed line to fill it in...
sorry
Tagalog,English, and a little bit of Japanese. :)
Spanish, English, German and Catalonian. Now looking to learn French and Italian.
BTW, if you need help with the Spanish translation, don't hesitate to ask if you want!

Had some exposure to Japanese (mainly through anime) so there's that.
Otherwise, VB and C#. Those are languages, right?

Lol. I guess I must add C++ to my native languages list.
With some knowledge of Java, JavaScript, VB, C# and brain fuck.
Edit: Some as in I've used them for 2 to 4 months.
Yes, I've spent 2 months in brainfuck. I was working with a genetic algorithm that could print out strings of text.

You have my respect.
Or RSpec, whichever you prefer.
My native Language is German
and my 2nd. language is English as you can see :P
I speak American English, Canadian English, & Engrish (only when very tired). My school report cards all claimed that I spoke French very well, but they lie horribly. :)
I couldn't choose all the options. :P I Grew trilingual speaking German, Italian and Spanish. Then went on to learn the standard of English and French and took Russian as a side language. The last one I don't speak fluently.
Portuguese and English fluently (speaking, not writing) and I scratch some Spanish and German.
I speak, read and understand only German. Translations I do about google.
English, Intermediate french, A bit of German, Musical Italian.
I kind of can do GML ( gamemaker language )
English
My native Language is german and surprise, a bit english...
As a teenager my english was way better, but after these years and not speaking much english all day, it is getting harder and harder to understand.
I should watch more series and movies in original...and take again some time to play some multiplayer games, i did learn a lot english with games in my teenager time.
german :)
I speak French (native) and English, but i also dabble in German (Im learning it part-time) and Japanese (Know a tiny bit, and i like learning more once in a while :D, but i stopped trying to learn it fulltime), also plan on taking chinese class this summer :D.
So yea, Like learning new tongue, but i get bored easily O.o
