Interview with a member of our team
Dear citizens,
We have presented in previous Insider articles some podcasts created by members of the eRepublik community. The last of these podcasts, authored by Dishmcds, Squiddy, and Rayf Drayson features a short tutorial on hospitals, the news from around the New World, a competition and an interview with the eRepublik Community Manager, Cristi Badea.
The interview was an opportunity for the three hosts to approach subjects of interest for the eRepublik community, and it gave Cristi Badea the chance to shed more light on these topics. Therefore we have added a short summary of the discussion further in the article. The translation of eRepublik in other languages, political take overs, future plans of the Community department and new countries were the topics discussed in this episode.
The first subject of the discussion regarded the translation of eRepublik in other languages. As it is probably known, Spanish will be the second language in eRepublik, and Cristi Badea announced that it will be released sometimes between May and June. The next set of languages will consist of four of the most spoken languages in the world, French, Portuguese, Russian and German, followed by a third set of languages which will contain the languages spoken by the most numerous eRepublik communities.
Some new information released in this interview regards the actual translation process. Active eRepublik users helped with the translation of eRepublik into Spanish, and other citizens will be recruited for the translation of eRepublik in other languages. The most time consuming part of the translation process consisted in preparing the documentation and translation kits used by eRepublik citizens in the actual translation, as well as completing all the technical modification that will allow eRepublik to support multiple languages.
The hosts of the show also inquired about how the eRepublik team regards the strategies known as political-take overs, some of the most discussed events in eRepublik. These tactics help citizens to achieve their goal of controlling more territories, but to the disadvantage of other groups of players. Giving tools to citizens in order to fight against political takeovers is part of eRepublik's development plans.
More detailed information on these subjects can be found in the podcast, which can be listened at www.erepnews.com
Regards,
The eRepublik Team

"More information regarding the "take-overs" issue will be released in a future insider article."
"We appreciate your concern and initiative in making the game better, and we would like to inform you that citizenship is on our to-do list. You may find more information about this in an Insider article tomorrow."
So please give some information already
Add Turkish as well please Not that I or many others have a problem with English, but there's loads of Turkish players right now and we'd love to draw in more Turkish players to the game that don't know English.
Nice article!
Add african countries
Admin written "four of the most spoken languages in the world" not "four the most spoken languages in the world"
and it is true...
Nice.
Cool!
@voice: I considered the top 10 most spoken languages in the world and in that top you can find Portuguese, French, Russian and Italian
Mandarin, Arabic, Hindi and Bengali it's for the moment quite a big challenge for our team and won't consider these languages for the next year.
farsi(persian)
Turkish?
croatian?
Good idea i need french
We need Croatian.
Admins, start advertising on czech websites please!
Cristi in podcast nice...

Creo que primero tendríais que traducir vuestros artículos a los demás idiomas.
Mmmh, not Italian?
We could translate it alone..
from's Eindonesian with love.....nice upgrade
@Christi Badea: I can help translating to Swedish, just let me now and I'll be on it.
Second thing: Are you aware of a new wellness bug? I eat Q1 food, have a Q4 house and own 1 company. Two days ago I had 100 wellness. The next day I had 90.5. Today I had around 75, if not less. Could you get your men on this matter? I've sent a ticket too.
Turkish eRepublik !
Admins, I have sent you a message, about a Broadcasting Corporation I own, did you read it?
@thanks cristi badea,
i can help with Arabic
WHeeee ye ;]!
I can help in translation EN-PT
It would be better for your business to translate it into Chinese - it's very widely spoken and contrary to popular belief, eRepublik is not banned in China. There are currently about 250,000,000 internet users in China, which is about equal to the entire population of Indonesia. This number is still growing. As China becomes wealthier and wealthier, there will be more people willing to buy Gold Packs, and therefore increase your business.

"You're interviewing yourself???
Nice..."
Nope.. myself, Dishmcds and Rayf Drayson are interviewing him and last I checked, we are not part of the eRepublik Development team.
If you are going to add Portuguese make SURE you are adding european portuguese, which is the REAL portuguese not that lame brazilian portuguese.... Main portuguese = european
@LucasPI, maybe the most spoken on the eWorld? Or on the West?
Brazilian Portuguese
Brazilian Portuguese (português brasileiro in Portuguese) is a vast and legitimate language which contain a group of dialects of Portuguese European in your structure grammatical written and spoken by virtually all the 190 million inhabitants of Brazil and by a couple million Brazilian emigrants, mainly in the United States, United Kingdom, Portugal, Canada, Japan, and Paraguay.
The differences between European and Brazilian Portuguese are comparable to those one might find when comparing British and American English, though some claim they are much greater, especially considering the differences in Brazilian and European grammar.
The Brazilian formal written standard, which is defined by law and international agreements with other Portuguese-speaking countries, is very similar to the European one; but there are nevertheless many differences in spelling, lexicon, and grammar. European and Brazilian writers also have markedly different preferences when choosing between supposedly equivalent words or constructs.
Brazil have 190 million citizens. Portugal don´t have half of this.
For that reazon, the brazilian portuguese language is the most spoken portuguese language of the world.
Portuguese = South America.
Avante Brasil!!!
ga penting banget deh
How I can help in translating eRepublik into a Polish language?
Spanish is the 4th most spoken language. After Mandarin, English and Hindi. However, adding a language with a non-roman alphabet writing system might be hard.
Cristi, you haven't said hello to me on the show.
Next time you'd better send a special hello to Reshev.
Otherwise, moar photoshop xD~
