Forums - Sony - I just love Sony's efforts to release their products in regional languages.

Many of their games are translated into Europe's regional languages. Even Motorstorm. I don't think Ive seen a non translated Sony game. It is just cool to be able to play your games in your own language. Plus, since yesterday I can use Turkish on my PS3. Just awesome.

 

While on my Xbox 360, I can't even use Dutch as the system language.

Same here. They are releasing a lot of games with subtitles in Brazilian Portuguese, but also releasing a lot of dubbed games in Brazilian Portuguese! Like Uncharted 3, Infamous 2, Unity 13 and many others.



I noticed the Turkish update in the recent firmware and thought of you, Turkish!



Do you speak Dutch? If not, why does it even matter? I would prefer they translate games into relevant languages.

Same.

You can speak English turky so surely having the original language is better. Especially in a game with great voice acting like Uncharted,



If they do a good job then why not. But I hated it when they translate basic pc terms into Dutch. Windows, tabs, files, mouse pointer, don't translate that stuff into terms I've never heard of.
Usually they don't do a good job translating though, I always preferred games in English (unless it wasn't originally in English)
The hardest thing to translate is humor but if done right by making it culturally relevant it can be a bigger hit then the original.



If anything including British English as a variant has fallen off. Seeing colour without the u is actually fatal to anyone born here so they should get on that.
