Language Problems

I showed 4 friends of mine Wynncraft and the result was kinda dissapointing:
One absolutly loved it (although ive never seen her again on wynn)
another one thought it was ok
and the other 2 didnt enjoy it at all

The main problems probaly were:
1) difficulty and inteligence
Ive warn them but they just ran into the nivla forest and died
2) language:
They both understand only a bit of english and didnt understand what the npcs were talking about.

A way to solve this would be to let the player change the language, the npcs talk in

Obviously that would mean a lot of work

But I think that there would be more then enough volunteers in the community

I would also like to help( I speak english and german)

 

There's the player-made translation project that can be seen on for example, the wiki

This has been suggested before, and the answer has been:
Sadly wynn doesn't have the resources to make the language changable at will. It would take the re-writing of thousands of lines of dialogue and even more lore, so that it could be changed for ONE language. It would take years to translate everything.

Oh, and:
Problem 1 is a result of people being inpatient. Wynn is EXTREMELY SLOW. You cannot rush anything without preparation. If a person gets lots of enjoyment out of minigames, they likely won't get anything from wynn. Minigames are meant to give a quick burst of fun, and RPGs like wynn give a slower, but heavier sense of progression to replace that. So wynn isn't a good fit for minigame-players.

 

if there would be someone who would translate whole wynncraft, then sure, but it would take hundrets of hours, so good luck finding someone :D

 

We're already doing it on the wiki

 

I know, But I know that there's alot of things to translate even on the wiki, now imagine translating stuff in scripts etc. I'm not saying that it's impossible or that I wouldn't like it implemented and if someone takes the iniciative then I don't see why not, but it will be a heck of work to do (PS, sorry, my writing usualy doesn'T make sence, IDK if this does or doesnt...)

 

Actually like two updates ago we had the entire game in russian

 

This is a Great idea, However, it would probably take an Unholy amount of time to convert all of the Items names, lore, NPC dialogue, Etc. it would be quite a long time for something such as this to be implemented... But still, this would be a great way to have Wynncraft be available to people all around the world!

 

I dont understand why there is a russian translation but no other language

 

just an idea.... google & microsoft both has translate APIs (they are both not very expensive, and considering the new users wynn would gain is a good investment in my opinion), the idea would be to automatically translate all the texts, then make a simple platforms where users can review/fix/improve translations (there are services online who does this, a custom one for wynn would be better).

Having to just review the translations would be way faster (both google/microsoft are acceptable translators, not many changes would be required from users).....


well this is at least how I would do it

 

There are a lot of other languages but the Russian team has the most progress

 

Communisim, that's why
