Make the PC version the same as console. No need to show PC favoritism. If consoles don't have addons, nor should the PC version.

Well of course they could then give the PC players a choice to transfer to console. Then once all PC players leave the PC version. ZOS can shut down the servers and focus more time spending their resources on their game and not become side tracked by issues like this one or the invincibility cheat. Because that it what addons mostly are, just cheats. =P

Hey folks,

In the most recent patch we fixed an exploit that allowed addons to run arbitrary protected code. This exploit could have been used to create a lot of harm, so it was critical that we fix it as soon as possible. Unfortunately, there were some unofficial localization addons that were casualties of this fix as they were using the same exploit in a benign way. It was important to us that the hard work done on these addons was not lost, however, so we implemented a new method of doing unofficial localization at the same time that the exploit was fixed. When this new code is live, addon authors will be able to supply a file named <languageCode>_ingame.str (instead of the previous .lua version) and fill it with lines of the form [<stringCode>] = "<string>" to provide localization in a secure way. This new method is presently going through QA and will be made available as soon as we are confident in it. Sorry for the lack of messaging about this in the notes.

As an additional note, we now need to add the languages to the game as unofficial languages so they can be used with the secure system. Presently we have added Russian, Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese. Which other languages are there unofficial translations for so we can make sure they are available when this new code launches?

Hello, @ZOS_ChipHilseberg .
It is really nice sollution - to support unofficial translations, but when it comes to PTS? And what about non-latin characters support?

Asherons_Call · November 2015

Why? The paragraph that you pasted from Chip Hilseberg gives you the answer why

Any news about our problem?

Hello!

Please answer...

After that I could not use the PT- BR translation that I do not have the same enthusiasm as before, I do not understand English very well .

Anxiously expect the correction, so that developers can correct translations .

This is the one time that I'm sad they did away with the LOL tag

Dingobells · December 2015

Some information about it ?

How is it going ?

Vikki · December 2015

Not yet for now.

Niaver · December 2015

So... what's going on? I can't play with my friend because he doesn't know english and used to play with RuEso addon.

mctrollbr · December 2015

Hello @ZOS_ChipHilseberg,

Please , do you have any position on the implementation of safely for uniofficial languages? He came out a new patch , but the update notes say nothing about it.

Thanks.

TERAB1T · December 2015

They said they are planning to release fix in the next patch month ago, but that "next patch" has been released two weeks ago. And still nothing.

Looks like there was a small patch in between the one we were targetting. It isn't in this patch. We'll try to get a more concrete estimate.

The work necessary to make this a real feature was wide reaching so we're being very careful to make sure it is as bug free as possible. We'll let you know as soon as it is officially assigned to a patch.

Selique · December 2015

Wow I didn't know there were addons that changed the language of the game! That's incredible. I hope that it gets fixed for you guys.

I'd try an AddOn that translates ESO into Russian, as I study that in school and it'd be awesome to learn while I play ESO!

ArcVelarian · December 2015

I'm just gonna say that not having official Spanish localization sounds like a REALLY bad business model.

Goratesque · December 2015

Like I said before in EsoUI forums. We're waiting for almost a month. I can't release my very first version of Turkish translation. Others cannot update their works. We can't do anything right now and this is a very bad thing.

Niaver · December 2015

I know that many ppl were playing the game both with ESO+ and RuEso, and now they are in the situation when they even don't want to buy another month of ESO+ because RuEso Addon doesn't work. I'm sure the situation is the same with other languages for many of players. At least could we receive some info from devs?

I think this is a L2E issue

And I think that both you and your post are redundant in this thread.
No smile.

New update tomorrow, any news?

AngryNord · December 2015

No update on Monday, just server maintenance on EU on Tuesday.

TERAB1T · January 2016

Another patch, another disappointment.

Dingobells · January 2016

Nothing yet?

Each time I am more sad!

I can officially say that the custom localization changes will be included on the PTS realm for the upcoming patch in early February. We had hopes to get the changes onto live earlier, but it ended up being an 80+ file hand coded merge with the live code base that we didn't feel confident to launch in an incremental patch environment.

Khaos_Bane · January 2016

And ZoS couldn't give them time to develop using the new localization method before disabling the old method?

It's really unbelievable, you have a TON of people around the world wanting to play your game but they don't speak the acceptable languages for ZoS. Then you have developers WRITING the translators for you SO YOU GET MORE CUSTOMERS....Then you break their addons so those people can't play....

Wow, way to give the middle finger to customers ZoS lol. That takes some balls.

Sorry to all the folks who don't speak the acceptable languages and hope to see you back in the game soon.

Arkadius · February 2016

Addon developers should take a look at the API changes of the current PTS version (2.3.0). They added some support for custom localizations.
