Maybe Earth is one big United country/planet, under one leader. And the english language is the most common language - everywhere.

Well if you remember the first Halo 2 E3 trailor they were in Africa and the city was all crazy and all the people there were speaking English. Probably in the future America rises up and takes control of all the other nations and countrys. Kinda like Hitler only a little sexier. If you know what I mean.

Cause different people are on. The arguement is moot to me anyways, the players of Halo2 are nearly all going to speak english, so the game is in English, plain and simple

Well the reason for the english sighn is in every unsc personel there is a chip in there brain that translates every thing into there language, including print? I belive.

Why does it always have to be American?You your stupid language was originally English, and your not the smartest thoughest or coolest country, America is full with blown up ego's, but that doesnt mean i hate them,k?So no misunderstandings?

I'm not sure where Zanzibar is, but I do know that South Africa has english as it's official language. So maybe it is because of that.

Well, perhaps by then we'll have adopted a unique new artificial language specifically designed by an army of linguists for the purpose of being shared by all peoples.

For the game, since we can't read a language that doesn't exist yet... they translate it into English. When they play it in Germany they'll likely change the texture so it reads in German.
