hello bungie staff,

the reason why I think this topic is that many people in the community are Spanish-speaking, and many do not know the English language. other than to use the translator of any page on the Internet is very tiring and annoying for some.

for this reason is why I recommend a Spanish language option with so many people would be happy.

if it already exists in Spanish this page ask for an apology and I would like conoserla.

beforehand.

Thanks.

Many people speak different languages other than Spanish, and don't speak English. But Bungie's not going to make a separate page. To those that don't Speak English, English is one of the words most used languages, they should learn it.

El idioma de bungi.net es solo ingles.

Sorry thats appalling spanish, but basically, as the vast majority of the fans ( and Bungie themselves) are english speakers the site is based around english.

No, I think the Spanish speaking forum-goers on Bnet will be more inclined to learn English if the forums were to remain English only.

Let's be honest, it could be a lot worse.

Making a spanish page would be hard and many community members might move there rather than use a traslater.

And I'd like one in latin or dutch please!

No serious now, what I mean with this that if they would even make one in spanish, all the people that don't speak english or spanish will start asking a page in their language. You could even say that it would be discriminating to all those others in a way, if it would happen.

Estoy acuerdo contigo.

Honestly, if Bungie were to offer sometype of site translation, I'm pretty sure they wouldn't do Spanish exclusively, and even then that would require a lot of resources. As HeyBlade789 said, most of Bungie's fan's are English and for that matter, I wouldn't expect Bungie to go the extra mile to do a translation.

And considering the biggest aspect of Bungie.net are the community forums, I don't see how a Spanish translation would prove beneficial in translating forums, especially because most people type as they would while texting and/or broken English.

There is no translator in existence that can translate "Bungle, Y U NO SHIPPEN SWAAG O BAGZ".

You could always try private groups.

Can someone tell me what's wrong with these two, this made me LOL hard.

Private groups are there for a reason. The main site is English due to well, Bungie is in America, they speak English, and the majority of users in the Bnet website speak English whether it be their first or second language.

I could think of a couple of good reasons why they may not do that.

1. You'd have to split it into separate forums altogether so that people who speak a certain language wouldn't have to sort through posts in other languages, so you'd need to double the number of forums. Then, when someone asked for them in French, you'd have to add all of those, then again in __________ . . .

2. I'd imagine the logistics of moderating forums in multiple language are a bit tricky and would require a much larger group of moderators. People complain enough about not having a moderator online certain times of day. Just imagine trying to find one who speaks Swahili in the middle of their night!

What are we supposed to be discussing here?


"Nothing in the 'Verse can stop me."

Brb, lets also have a French page. While were at it can we do German, Dutch, Russian, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, etc.?

Also, how do you expect the Spanish speakers to interact with other users if they still can't type in English? Do you know how labour intensive it would be to properly translate every post and page?

I understand nothing because my life is a conspiracy.

They should just make a page called Bungie Spanish.

Sólo debe hacer una página llamada Bungie español.

I wouldn't expect anything now if I were you, but there's always a chance that the site will be available in different languages in the next IP world.

Chief vs the scarab? I find that hard to believe to roundhouse boot the scarab's figurative emotion out of the gaming zone.

You know, with as many times as this thread pops up in here, I really would like to see someone create a Spanish-speaking-only group, if only to see just how many people actually end up using it. I'm sure the numbers would be far less than these sorts of threads would suggest.

English is the language of the world. It may sound arrogant but it's true. If you know English then you can go basically anywhere in the world and not have to worry about speaking other languages.Of course knowing other languages will help but you can get by with just English.

Dont be shy...
Im sorry for my coup changes but Im new at this.

I am agree, I speak spanish and when I want to see the page in spanish I need to use the google page traductor and it sucks.

No, even though English isn't my first language.

  • 07.14.2011 9:38 AM PDT

I never understand this argument when it comes up.

How about you guys all get together and pay the salary of a full-time translator for Bungie. He/She would need to know every known language so as not to discriminate. Or, I guess you could all pay for thousands of individual translators instead of one omnipotent one. You will have to foot the bill for all the server space and site maintenance as well. Now, that seems fair AND easy. Get to it.

Why just do Spanish? They should include German, Italian, Arabic, French, Dutch... etc.

My point is, why go through the trouble to translate the site using umpteen different languages when English works just fine? Most countries teach/require English to be learned as a secondary language anyway.

EDIT: also think about all of the character support Bungie.net would have to provide for some of the more "symbolic" languages (Chineese, Arabic, others).
