Really, what's wrong with the game localization?

I think I was misunderstood I'm wondering why it is taking so long to change the language of the game from russian to german and english etc. You'd think it could be a month process of translating and testing, swapping images around for the german version etc.

No, I didn't misunderstand you. I agree to you. I also wonder why it
takes so long, because the game doesn't contain that much text???

Would be nice for 1C to explain the situation, the process and why it is taking so long. Gaming companies do hold a lot of details about what is going on sometimes.

Hi. I asked and got a reply from !c:

"The game localisation is happening over the next 3 or 4 months, after
testing etc, we'd expect a quarter 3 release.
We are discussing the project at the moment with a number of prominent
publishers."

I'm just a messenger, don't flame on me. Personally I'm glad MoT is still on the horizon.

No comments...
Very interesting, what means "etc" after "testing". Maybe some new game features will be implemented?

Does it means that MoT still doesn't have EU/USA publisher?

I don't know. I rather think that 505 Games replace Atari as publisher. Necrovision, Cryostasis, Men of War are all from 505.

It's short for "et cetera" - "and so on", one o' those often used latin proverbs.
