Translation

Polish would be cool. There is very large topic for polish ppl only (381 pages :D )
I would like to see a Polish translation, thx in advance ;]
It will be nice to see Polish POE
I remember my fling with a translated version of Diablo 2. It lasted for about a day and was a pretty painful experience.

First of all, all the randomized names of items and monsters turned out laughable. There were also some more or less obvious mistakes like one text string for damage type was mixed with another, looked like simple CAT mistake that was quickly fixed.

Then I was frustrated that I couldn't read any english forums for advice, guessing the original skill names was doable, but took some time, It was a bit harder for random monsters, uniques and runewords

And it wasn't the translators fault. (technically, it was, yeah, if you can afford to dick around translating one game for half of year, coming up with creative workarounds for each problem, and sometimes rewriting all the text from scratch... you get the picture)
Yeah, most of the stuff was unavoidable, because that's how the game was coded.

Still, it's necessary to translate games and I'm glad to see the PoE devs recognize that. I just hope that they are aware of the problems that can arise. A good editor is paramount for each such endeavor as well as taking your time with the proper Q&A. It shows when a translation was a rush job.

I do translations for a living, PL>ENG language pair, just saying.
No good deed goes unpunished.

Yes! I also support the translation into Russian, because I know that this game attracted the attention of a big russian community. Also translated into Russian will be useful for ukrainian people. Please keep this in mind, developers! We hope that you will do it! ;)

Greetings guys!

I don't know if it was mentioned before, but I'd be more than happy to help with some translations for the game, I'm an almost-professional (I have 1 semester left) English-Hungarian translator, and I have some RPG fan friends in store with a helping hand, I know both native H. and E. speakers with close-to-perfect English/Hungarian, respectively. I only came to know of this game yesterday, but I already feel that the devs and this game were sent by an unknown force to wash away my disappointment in D3. :D
Feel free to contact me or make suggestions. ;)

(AAAND of course I'd be more than happy if I received a key early. Unfortunately, I cannot buy any of the supporter packs before August :/ )
