I am behind in my forum browsing. So if I haven´t gotten back to you on a question, it´s because actually shipping the game has gotten in the way of answering questions about it. Hopefully actually shipping will be a productivity enhancer as many questions will be answerable by a wider group of people. So we have to ship if for no other reason than to reduce the number of emails I get that start with " I have a Pentium II running Windows 95 . .."
One question I get asked a fair bit is what languages we will ship with. The initial languages which should all sim-ship are
English
French
German
Italian
Spanish
Russian
Korean
Simplified Chinese
Traditional Chinese
Japanese
Thai
Localization includes all of the spoken content, but not the in-game signage ( the latter is an art direction choice not a constraint).
