Interface language is being forced to German #68

Hi,

I know it was intended that the client language is set to German when the OS is German too, but since the translation has never been fully completed I propose to either

A) add an option to choose the language B) remove the German translation completely.

Of course a third option would be to finish the translation, but I'd really prefer to play in English so I'd go with option A), maybe with a later completion of the translation.

I hope you'll consider my suggestion.

You are talking ONLY about the UI here? What I find most interesting is, that the german translated UI seems to have been lost. It existed in Germany, the german players played with a fully translated german UI (both for the actual client and for the later added new worldrenderer options screens).

Where I agree is that you should be able to chose the language yourself to play in.

Well they probably didn't provide NDS with the translation when they translated the game

For the ingame resource (all that's not UI): Yes, that's true. I was in charge at MDO during this time for the german translation and patching, and I am working together with Andrew now to get the german resources back in the game (I still have them).

For all that's UI: No, as MDO could not and would not compile the client on their own. The compiled german client was always provided by NDS to MDO.

Oh, that's interesting. I did not know that. What was your name?

I suspected as much, but I wasn't sure so I thought I'd ask. Nice to see you again :)
