There was this:

So not an absolute no, but I don't expect any translations any time soon.

Any News on this by Wizards?

 

I am able to read the English Books, but on the long run it is no option for me to play a RPG which is not translated to German. When I start to play with my Kids I had to go back to 3rd Edition for them to be able to read some stuff about it.

 

I hoped Wizards just wanted to get the Initial-Sales of D&D 5 directly into their pocket, but in the meantime I´m in doubt that there will be a German D&D 5.

This would be an evidence of incapacity to the - once upon a time - Greatest RPG in the World.

 

I really would like to hear an official Statement ´bout this Topic.

 

Greets,

Thala

I don't think I was even born when we last had a Finnish version of D&D. There's a Finnish version of the 3.5 SRD, and it gives me nightmares. I actually find it a bit surprising that others would want the books translated to their own language, though I can understand it in the case of children.

I already PMed Thalamus but in case some other German finds this thread: I translated the character sheet and the adventuring gear into German. The archive has the original photoshop file that you can modify directly if you have a compatible program and a JPG for printing.

Pathfinder rpg was translated to Spanish languanged, by Devir, the same company that translated D&D from 3rd Ed. But I haven´t more Spanish new Pathfinder books since lot of time.

 

Another languanges are smaller markets. You can´t publish all English books because you will not sell the same numbre. 

 

Oh my god. Do you know? Newerwinters online has different languanges, but not Spanish languange.. why? Maybe Spanish-speaker players aren´t good clients.

Meh. RPGs are best played in English, as the good Lord intended, anyways...

Seems Italian would be a good choice, seem to have a seriously active player base in Italy.

D&D needs new players, and the youngest new generation of no-American D&D fans can´t speak English yet, not enough well. Why would I buy a English languange rpg when I can buy another rpg by another company but published in my naive languange? 

 

* What if WotC hires its own translators?

Seriously? I do get it. And I feel you pain. I hope WotC gets around to publishing in as many languages as possible.

 

That's only a good thing for the RPG industry as a whole, IMO. And good for all you sad, non-English speakers out there.

 

Of course, if you'd just learn fluent english, this wouldn't be a problem, now would it?

 

Reminds me of a joke:

 

What do you can someone who speaks two languages? Bilingual.

What do you call someone who speaks multiple languages? A polyglot.

What do you call someone who speaks only one language? American.
