Reksi-Erkki Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Finnish, obviously. Not just because 99.93% of the World's population would be unable to read it, but the translations would be absolutely hilarious! EDIT: what is this poll for, anyway? Dear Shilka. I hate you so very very much. Love, Rex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabbl Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Russian of course. Maybe for some free c-101 keys someone can translate it to native dcs language.

tomcatter Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 What Flagrum said has alot of sense to me, english first, so that is the mother language of this forum and is the better way to achieve a more widely support of your product. Then, well, I imagine that is a matter of time/founding the way that the other lenguages are pushed to us. Maybe now days and in a biz like this one, a good and well shaped manual in english will be enough, like in RL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkwolf Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Wait gentlemans - Why create a poll about spanish language in a English forum ? the primary users of an eventual spanish manual will be people that don't speak english.

Do you think they is a lot of them in this forum ? :) Your premise is false. There are a lot of Spanish speakers who speaks English too. And you forgot Google Translator. I read Russian forums (tons of useful information of Russian aicrafts) too and I don't speak Russian, but with Google traslator, I 'm able to understand what they are writing. I think,it's reasonable ask if we want a Spanish manual when the aircraft is Spanish and many of team members are Spaniards (low development cost, maybe it's profitable). LN relesed a Serbian manual for the Fishbed, for example. Another interesting question is...The size* of the Russian market is enough to justify a Russian manual? *Potential buyers.

Darkwolf Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 ur premise is false. There are a lot of Spanish speakers who speaks English too. Stats shows 22%. If that's the same calculation than in France, that is surely a way less that are able to communicate more than the basic school "hello, i am wolf". (France showing 50% while from my experience is nowhere close to 20) So yeah, i maintain that this thread should have been posted in spanish in the spanish section, and on relevant spanish sections. ;) Also, from my experience in community stuff - I don't believe more than a couple of % of DCS customer are actually on that forum anyway.

Tango Posted January 8, 2015 Author Share Posted January 8, 2015 Will EB and CC have different manuals or share the same one but with special chapters talking about features/operations of CC only? Same manual, dedicated sections. Where there is commonality, there will only be one section for both (this will apply to common systems for example, e.g. electrical and hydraulic).
