A solution would be a “hide Russian” because if you play in Germany for example you have “show only German” but like most of people in (western) Europe we can also communicate in English and some also in French. So show only German would not be good.And your nonsense about phobia of Russian is stupid and propaganda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can’t force someone to answer. Because for the last seven years there did not seem to be a problem or the need for Cyrillic. I don’t know why it is important that you call yourself the largest GW2 blogger in Russia? You think you will get a special treatment? The fact that I am the largest blogger in Russia for this game suggests that I appeal not only on my behalf, but I represent the interests of the whole community.Most of the big bloggers and streamers think that way. That doesnt make it true.Hint: it wouldn't be surprising if there were more people thinking they represent the russian community (in fact, i am 99% sure thare are others). And i am sure that all those people can't really agree on what those interests are.@Drevin.5392 said:@Anemone.5320 said:Just dropping by to complain that other alphabets are missing too (like greek) so if they're gonna add russian, they better add the rest too.

Not just Cyrillic. And the often brought up case of the Polish language? That was almost certainly simply a sideeffect of adding german diacritic support. I'm pretty sure that wasn't intended at all (i doubt Polish comunity is big enough to even be considered for that), and i'm quite certain that Anet doesn't really want players talking in any langage other than officially supported (and moderated). Not strongly enough to actually forbid or actively hinder it, but just enough to not want to offer any help to players doing it on their own. You won;t get them to tell it to you outright, though, because saying it in the open would be bad PR.Bulgarians, Macedonians, Serbs, Croats and Montenegrins use the Cyrillic alphabet.This is again not true. Not everyone in Croatia uses Cyrillic alphabet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this case, the solution to this problem would be the option to "show only Latin." But your expression "hide Russian" sounds russophobic.P.S. I didn't know that the settings for other languages would be similar to English. To you, dear yoni.7015 personal question: what I'm advocating? I don't get it here. and please don't call me "stupid" anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Macedonia (former Fyrom) uses the Cyrillic alphabet. Macedonia is a region in Greece which has nothing to do with North Macedonia and Greece does not use a Cyrillic alphabet either. You don't want to offend anyone by calling the countries and its citizens wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't want to offend anyone by calling the countries and its citizens wrong.Naturally, I'm not going to offend anyone. I do not have the opportunity to know the mentality of each ethnic group, so do not rephrase or give a negative meaning to my words. The essence of my words is quite simple, it is that the Cyrillic alphabet is used not only in Russia. Here I tried to list the peoples of Europe. I did not include here the countries and peoples of the CIS, which you probably have not even heard of.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acheron.4731 Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Did the end of Rocky IV not teach anyone anything?Russians are our comrades. We can all change!!!!Give them their Cyrillic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escanor.8157 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 The fact that there is no support for the Cyrillic alphabet must come down to Russia's currency. My country's currency is BRL. So there is no translation into my language. France= EUR Spain= EUR English= Dollar 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
