Say “Hola” to the Spanish version!

Day 553, 07:05 Published in by Plato

Dear citizens,

The process of translating eRepublik into Spanish is nearly complete. The release of the Spanish version will take place on June 3rd, and it will only be the first step in providing eRepublik in multiple languages.

As any first step, this was the hardest one to make. Lots of technical modifications were done in order to create a “backbone” that will support all the future translations of eRepublik. We are very enthusiastic about reaching the end of this process, and we will be waiting for your feedback on the Spanish version of the interface. We will create a new subject in the contact form, named “Contacto Español” (Spanish contact), especially for this event. If you find mistakes of any kind, bugs, misspellings, or even bad choices of words, we would be glad to receive your corrections. However, please be advised that our community department is not offering support in Spanish yet. This contact form subject is the only one where, for a limited time, you may address to our team in Spanish. For all the other contact subjects, please use English.

Our translation team was helped by several Spanish citizens, so we would like to send special thanks to Allyena, Zhuge Liang, and Sabi2 for their support in translating eRepublik. This was no easy task, as there are thousands unique text lines in eRepublik. Only reading them could take hours!

The next set of languages that will become available in eRepublik has not yet been established, but could contain French, Portuguese, German, and Russian. What is certain is that the Spanish version will bring more of the 330 million people who are native Spanish speakers into the New World. This will especially aid in boosting the population of South America, as on June 10th, Bolivia, Colombia, Peru, Paraguay, and Uruguay will join eRepublik.

And finally, we will sign off as usual, but in Spanish:

Saludos,
El Equipo de eRepublik

Later Edit:
The Spanish version will be released on June 10th . The launch date has been delayed for one week so that the Spanish interface can be deployed on the eRepublik servers along with some high priority patches and bug fixes that will enhance the security of currency and items transactions.
