Language options for menu tabs

[Neroarrow]

New languages has already been suggested many times, but focusing on menus specifically should be easier to implement and very effective. By menus I mean like the homescreen, login screen, menu, avatar, inventory, character selection, maps, platinum store etc.

What I'm definitely not suggesting is every item in the game should be written in 5 languages, or all the quest dialogue is translated. Just simple one word stuff like <Avatar> <Choose character> <Armor tab> <Vanity tab> <quests> etc. thats imperative for navigating the game.

Just by adding a few more popular languages from around the world would attract many players

We attempted localization in the past. It's not just the game that needed to be translated, it was also needing Customer Support, the website, patch notes, etc. It didn't affect the game positively in any way.

The only effect it had was upsetting the native speakers of that language and more importantly, it slowed us down increasing the time it took for us to create content because we had to wait for the localized text in order to release any content. Any minor changes to the content would require another round trip with localization.

Okay that makes sense, sorry for posting something that's probably been posted a million times. Hopefully someone with my exact idea will see this and understand too.
