English ain't easy when you weren't born with it, breh.

But anyway, yeah. GA doesn't have a language team, yet.

HA! No it isn't. English is the bast*** child of at least three other languages and has more rules and exceptions than human social protocol.

Exactly, I don't they have any use for extra languages during the beta. So asking why Dan hasn't "come up the" Chinese translation is because it isn't needed until the final release.

I agree with breakfastbacon here, the language option isn't really needed much until the actual release when LOTS of people who speak different languages buy it.

But I don't agree anywhere.You can see Ubisoft or Electronic Arts.Their games has some language options like Battlefield and simcity. GA has not language team ,but the rest of the world has.

I don't think Dan would like to work on translations yet because it is not needed. Like I said earlier, right now their main focus is to make the game work. They will probably add translations when the game is released. They do not want to start working with Ubisoft / EA because then they get certain rights over the game.(I think that's how it works) Its just easier for GA to add translations after the game is released than to start working with Ubisoft, EA, etc.

It's ultimately GA's decision if they want multilanguage support

Ubisoft and EA have hundreds and hundreds of employees. While GA does not have that kind of budget. You cannot compare the EA or Ubisoft to GA. For now you can use google translate to translate anything you don't understand.

the english in US2 is very, very basic. If you can understand this much (youre actually not that bad at english :D) you should be able to play US2 without too many problems.

And remember its not just about you, its about the whole world.
On FAQ, GA said the will have multi-language support after the initial release.

I dont think using Google Translate is a very good idea, either. Theres a burger in China who's name translates to "Suck that chicken flavour"

Hope this helps:

Will it support other languages beyond English?
 
After the initial release, we plan to incorporate support for additional languages.

The original language is Dan Ingles
The Ingles is a Social and Business so each language is the most spoken languages ​​English (that you will learn in your school with your teacher of Geography)  8)

Yeah. YOUR country. Not just the tiny group of GA, which are separated over 3 different countries (USA, Switzerland, and Germany. (Excuse me if I forgot anything))

But I think Dan maybe can offer some Speaking Interface of US2.Maybe the alpha9 or late alpha,right?
Please explain this "Speaking UI"

Priority and practicality first, my dear boy. (Or girl, haven't figured out yet ^=^)
What I am saying is that, while GA is still trying their hardest to fix extreme bugs and polish choppy features, you come here mashing the post button demanding ridiculous/non prioritized/will-be-added-later features! Stop! Enough! Enough!

(Excuse me, trying to get the Wheatley part of me to SHUT UP.)

I really want to know what you mean by "Speaking UI" as well. Do you mean a sort of Siri type thing? Where you say, "Add Betelgeuse to simulation" and it'll add it? Why would that be needed?
Or do you mean it the other way around, where you click a button and it tells you what it says?

P.S. Xriqxa, I think we all have some Wheatley in us.

I bet huppy4's English is better than your Chinese. :)

Learning a new language is hard for some. I've always struggled with it. I took French when I was 15-17, but none of that stuck. Thanks to everyone who did learn English so I can communicate with you.

And we are planning to offer a language option sometime after the public release of Universe Sandbox ². German will probably the first language we translate as the first two developers other than myself both live in Germany (and we've sold more copies in Germany than any other non-English speaking country).

Check the Team Listing on this page:
http://universesandbox.com/2

the english in US2 is very, very basic.

I disagree... many of the words are scientific and technical.

dog, chair, hello = basic
mass, velocity, galaxy = not so basic

I am a Chinese. And I can't speak English very well with others people.So I and they hope your team can release the Chinese version with the universe sandbox2 alpha.

I want to release a Chinese translated version of Universe Sandbox ², but we've got lots of other things to before that. We talked about it at least 2 years ago in the context of developing Universe Sandbox ² to allow for multiple languages in the future.
