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.

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).

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.

Post by: Mullie0 on November 13, 2013, 08:29:27 AM
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.

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++.

Post by: djnekkid on January 10, 2014, 05:23:29 PM
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...

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.

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.

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

With some knowledge of Java, JavaScript, VB,  C# and brain fuck.

Edit: Some as in I've used them for 2 to 4 months.
