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?](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/how-come-the-game-was-translated-to-korean-and-japanese-but-not-spanish/294005) Other most recent thread. Quoting myself from there: > [@How come the game was translated to Korean and Japanese, but not Spanish?](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/how-come-the-game-was-translated-to-korean-and-japanese-but-not-spanish/294005/17): > > 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/](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). ---
