[lujiashun1]

[c0ff]

DCS font renderer supports only a subset of Western languages (WGL-4).

WHY ?? LOFC2 supports zh_CN! can your team add this fuction??

Some products simply start off with a certain aim for a certain market. In DCS's case that was the Russian and NATO market. Also all our governments tend to be very protective of themselves while the common folk like us doesnt realy give a damn and wants to have fun with eachother and learn from other cultures. We live in a funny world.

 

Think that no1 realy knows at ED how to write and speak Chinese has something to do with it too.

But that might change now because FC3 has a Chinese market behind it.

 

Good find though with even a good business oportunity. China is big and full of die-hard gamers.

 

Theres even discussions in my country going at the moment in having mandarijn as a standard language like advanced english, french, german, spannish and latin in higher education, because the Chinese market will be much stronger and globalised in the near future. Doing business in China is becomming hot. Communism isnt seen as a direct threat anymore, but holds together with the people trying to move around within politcal systems. So in the end we will be one big happy planet earth family.

FC2 used a different rendering engine for the menu, so the font renderer might not have been possible to move over.

It's possible to add Asian languages, Chinese in particular, but that will make the font textures too big.

So, CN localization should have it's own set of fonts.

So when you hire 1 chinese font designer youll have a 25% bigger world market instantly to sell DCS on...hmhmhmhmhm

That market is already accessible.

Thats true, but how many chinese dont know english or for what ever reason dont want to learn english might still be potential new customers which arent right now?

 

I dont know the anser personaly, but im sure that due to the worlds political environment of the past 50-100 years theres alot of catching up to do in terms of globalisation. For me as a northern european its starting to be interesting to also learn chinese as a global language beside english and spanish to be ready for whats to come in the next 50 years.

 

At the moment China is growing so damn fast economicly that that government has certain blockades like no google access and such to have a certain brake on upcomming globalisation, the larger lower classes have huge trouble in keeping up while the economy goes faster by the minute. This is a sign that a transitional period will be stretched and transitional solutions are needed like in this case for the chinese gentlemen and his friends of this topic.

 

Ofcourse its not up to me,but i recognise a win/win situation when i see one.

I understand what youre trying to say. The boundries in access of high royaltys, the fact that your product will be state owned within chinese borders and a larger software piracy culture dont help at all. Very true. But...they have a new president since the last 2 weeks, hes more global than the previous one. Theres new hope. He has a beautyfull wife by the way. A very popular folk singer/songwriter and a ranking general in the army. Or shes a ranking general and has singing as a hobby that turned out to be successfull.

oh bad news !you know in our country many pupils about ten years old or older paly this game,but they have not studied en ,so that is a problem for them.if this game supports zh_CN,forums in our country like INSKY 3GO can translate en into simple Chinese.
