Why isn't Spanish included in the game?

[Kamizake]

I mean why the 4th more spoken language isn’t included in the game?

• • English (1,132 million speakers) …

• Mandarin Chinese (1,117 million speakers) …
• Hindi (615 million speakers) …
• Spanish (534 million speakers) …
• Arabic (274 million speakers) …
• Bangla/Bengali (265 million speakers) …
• Russian (258 million speakers) …
• Portuguese (234 million speakers) …

Just throwing it out there… quite possible because most Spanish speakers can also speak English or another supported language. There is also a bazillion dialects of Spanish

How come the game was translated to Korean and Japanese, but not Spanish?

Other most recent thread. Quoting myself from there:

@Mkikaden_Tiragen

As has been explained in several other such threads in the last year: localizations of the game are not ‘one and done’ efforts. CCP has to have a dedicated bilingual support staff for each localization, including ISD members for language-specific forum sections, GMs for Rookie/Help Chat and New Player Experience support, and translators for new in-game content (from UI elements like settings menus to mission agent scripts, NPC call-outs in local, the Agency interface, all the various windows, and so on).

Direct quote from @ISD_Dorrim_Barstorlode:

It never hurts to apply at https://volunteers.eveonline.com/ if you have language skills. More than one team could use them.

Encourage English/Spanish fluent players to apply to the CCL (community liasons like ISD), STAR (player support like GMs) and LOC (localization effort) programs. The first stepping stone is generally getting a couple ISD members who can moderate a language-specific sub-forum; after that proves out and some GMs are brought on, we might get a language-specific help chat in-game. Only after both of those are sustainable are we likely to see any traction on a full-game localization (due to sheer effort required to create and maintain the localization).
