Will you also pay for all the voice dialogue to be done in that language as well as all future voice dialogue? This isn’t free. 1 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Bencki.2571 Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Agreed, with the translation, many doors to streamers will open (and the visibility of GW2 in Brazil) 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Why don't you create and bring up-to-date a Portuguese Wiki, and show the Devs how much interest there really is? 2 Link to post Share on other sites

And what do you mean about being weird most posts are from new forum members? If these new members took the trouble to create the forum account, it shows the special interest in this topic about translation. 12 hours ago, mythical.6315 said: Will you pay to have the entire game translated and localized?

Of course there are costs, or do Brazilian players have free access to expansions? And by any chance, are you going to pay for the translation? As all Brazilians probably bought the expansions, so I think we are entitled to have something with more quality for our community. 6 hours ago, Inculpatus cedo.9234 said: Why don't you create and bring up-to-date a Portuguese Wiki, and show the Devs how much interest there really is? To show interest is it necessary to translate the wiki? I think this topic already shows that. Edited December 7, 2021 by Etaiver.9781 Incomplete answer 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 I think the Devs have already shown their regard from forum threads. My suggestion is in response to those stating they are happy to volunteer. If there was proof of such interest, maybe the Devs/ArenaNet/NCSoft might change their stance. Because, as history has shown, forum threads just don't cut it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Unless they’re all alt accounts from one person or it’s a concerted effort initiated someone in a guild to have their guild mates help them out. You’re more likely to get an eye infusion drop from Dragonstorm than have dozen or so unaffiliated first time posters post in the same thread around the same time and all in agreement. That’s just my opinion and why I found it odd. 2 hours ago, Etaiver.9781 said: Of course there are costs, or do Brazilian players have free access to expansions?

Expansions don’t add voice overs or translations/localizations for older content. The most you’d see is that the content would have this but it’ll cost more overhead to do so and be an expectation going forward which adds more overhead. Those costs are going to come from somewhere. Would those costs produce a benefit to be worth it? Edited December 8, 2021 by mythical.6315 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Linken.6345 Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 It start with text translation then some time later well we got text so why dont anet give us voices too.

Kaminari.7132 Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 I'm also Brazilian and I support the cause of a translation from English to Portuguese of this fun game that is gw2. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
ProtoGunner.4953 Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 If you don't speak English these days in any ways that you can't play this game, I highly advise you to learn the basics - it's not hard. Is that even a topic? You'll miss out 90% of the content on most popular platforms. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Yrinvan.4926 Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 a lot of brazilians get out the game because they don't understand the story and mechanics about gw2, but with translating they will stay active and further increase the player base 2 Link to post Share on other sites

nical.8275 Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Hi. I'm brazilian and I support the cause of a translation from English to Portuguese. I have a lot of friends, and most of them can't understand english or refuse to play Guild of Wars 2 because they know that more and more game companies are paying more attention to Brazil, and they feel this game's company is not giving properly attention to our country. More and more companies focused in entertainment are paying more attention to Brazil, because it's a huge country and we are one of the top countries in the world to play games. To reinforce my idea, Funimation and Netflix are releasing a huge content of anime dubbed to Portuguese Brazil. They are literally competing in their own voice acting, a lot of animes have 2 or more versions dubbed to Portuguese Brazil, because it's worthy. It shows the importance of investing more in text translations. Making it accessible for people around the world to be able to play the game is important for acquiring new players.

The Brazilian education system is precarious in many places. I would say that to really learn English in Brazil, you have to seek to learn it or born in a middle-class family, to have the chance for them to enroll you on a dedicated english course. According to British Council Brasil (2013), the findings show that 5% of the population aged over 16 claim to have some knowledge of the English language, while among younger people - aged between 18 and 24 - the percentage doubles, reaching 10%.
