Zarniwoop 1193 Posted February 2, 2015 Basically what I write in the title. It's a bit annoying to write Greek in English characters, so it'd be nice to add Greek character support to text chat and server messages, so that we can write properly. Even ArmA3 (a game set in Greece :P ) has not got this. I wouldn't think it'd be something hard to add, with my next to nothing knowledge on things of course. Thanks :) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sachad 1016 Posted February 2, 2015 So why not just write English? If we add Greek letters, then we'll have to add Cyrillic, Arabic, Hebrew, Chinese, Hindi and just about any other alphabet or symbols used around the globe. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In fairness there is an entire Russian forum section. I doubt that adding support for various languages would be much of a stretch, but I imagine that it's not at the forefront of the development plan. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stielhandgranate 480 Posted February 2, 2015 I agree. This is the information age. We should accommodate our Greek friend. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Exactly, why not add all these? :P English and Russian are hardly definitive of the ArmA Community! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I doubt that adding support for various languages would be much of a stretch, but I imagine that it's not at the forefront of the development plan. Many Greek and Russian players out there have a hard time using English.A multiple language chat support could be alot of assistance,with this minority player population.But in all honestly,DayZ is a game that people rarely make use of the chat function. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

byrgesen 1340 Posted February 2, 2015 I wouldnt mind at all (im danish so not holding my breath for a translation lol) but now isnt the time for this.This is a suggestion for closer to release, at least in the end of the Beta, when they "polish the turd" :) Nonetheless, it would not hurt at all to support as many languages and signs, as possible, but we got bigger issues and concerns right now, imho. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed :D Maybe I should've clarified, there are way more important things plaguing the game at the moment than a few people having a minor inconvenience! :P 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
