Add Spanish to the language or subtitles PLEASEEE!!!

kakaruso

I'm totally agree with the idea. We're a great community conformed for an important quantity of players. It ought be mandatory if a mmo wants to be better than his competitors.

The most famous and played mmo has translations to the most important languages in the world inside of them we can found spanish, english, chinese, german and french among others...

The elder's scroll online could get more players from around the whole world if spanish will be included in his language choices.

The spanish market is really enormous and is fullfilled of people who love this kind of games.

French? German? Even brazilian portuguese has more public then that lol. Jokes apart, I really agree spanish should be supported.

You have reason, the portuguese has more public than these 2 languages. The only reason why the videogames come in these 2 languages apart from english is because they have laws about comercialization of videogames in foreingers languages. If the game isn't in the country language can't be sold in france or germany because of this.

English is the 3rd most common language, coming at 320 million people. However, that number comes from first language speakers. Between all known bilingual speakers and up, english is the most spoken language in the world. I believe thats why they choose English as the primary language for the game.

Though it would be cool to see some expansion on their language support.

I'm italian. I don't find any difficulty in understanding the game, besides some archaic words, but I have a lot of friends that like the game but are not so good in english. Some of them dropped it out of frustration because of it. I agree with OP. The game needs more languages. That will also lead to a bigger playerbase and higher revenues. I am fairly certain the population will have a significant increase if it goes through, and it is only a good thing for the game.

Spanish is the second most common language in the world only just behind Chinese . English is 3rd most common . From a business perspective , that's missing the mark for a large audience for not including Spanish .

The business perpective is precisely the reason why those languages aren't available.

From a business perspective, all potential customers are not equal. Raw population numbers are crossed with their respective purchasing power. There's no point translating a game for a category of population that will not be able to purchase the game. Chinese-speaking and Spanish-speaking regions are overall poorer than English, French, Japanese or German-speaking countries/areas. Which is why the game isn't available in Spanish, Chinese or Russian, even though there are huge populations using those languages. I'm not saying this is fair or anything, just that this is a fact.

This is the only post in the topic that explains why there is not and probably won't ever be a Spanish translation. It's not financially worth it.

English is the language of business and money. Many cultures learn English as a second language for this reason, just to prepare their young to eventually engage in business with someone from the English-speaking world. I would advise your friends to start gaining an edge over their peers by learning the language.

While I agree that knowing english will open many doors, it's funny how many native english speakers encourage others to learn their language only because they're too lazy to do the same. And get pissy because they cannot understand a thing when other people talk to eachother.

This happened on a pledge last week, where three of us were spanish speakers and got via group finder a US citizen, he stated that he doesn't speak spanish because he's "a true american" and we must speak english instead. We started to make fun of him until he leave.

Why would a native English speaker need to learn a second langauge to play a game that is already in English? That is a bad example, it's not like he moved to Hong Kong and then complained that everything was in Cantonese.

And why three or more people in a private chat have to cater the needs of just one just because the game lacks support for our language? I've played with brazilian people who talked on their respective languages to eachother and never demanded them to speak english because I didn't understand what were they saying, again, to eachother. People like the guy I mentioned probably would complain too if we speak french or german (the other two supported languages).

EDIT: Also, the main reason of why we made fun of him was because of the "true American" part. Apparently to be a true American you have to speak english only.

This post is going on a wrong direction, we aren't talking about lazy people or people that don't want to learn another language... I just would like to play TESO in spanish at xbox one. I think every language is different than the others but not better or worse.

I haven't problem of playing in english, but from my view point, the best experience, come from playing in my mother tongue / main language.

Yes you're right, it was not my intention to create controversy, I was just pointing out something that happened last week regarding to language, and comments on similar threads that I have read in many places.

The reason of why I'm having a lot more fun in this game is because I joined a couple of Latin American guilds, I have no problem with playing in english either, but no all people have the same level of knowledge or the education opportunities to fully enjoy the game.

That's true there's a lot of people avoiding playing due the language barrier.

as a start, maybe it might be easier for all of the text to be translated into Spanish, but leave the voices in english. That way, there are a lot less required resources/expenses. Hearing english might also help spanish speakers learn some english too

Englais is the way to gaw!

Once they can afford to buy a ps4 when the ps5 comes out. Games are upwards 80 dollars and the console over 400 dollars which is way too expensive and it's not even the pro version. The xbone is 656 dollars in Mexico.

I hope this doesn't come off as harsh. But see it as an opportunity to learn a different language.

Im a born and raised Swede who moved to the United States alone when I was 19. I picked up the English language really easy when I was little by watching a lot of American movies, reading books and playing games.



But yes I do agree there should be an option for Spanish subtitles atleast. Voice-over may be a little bit harder to cover + it's quite expensive. But the game has been out for so long now that I don't think ZOS really cares.

Swedish and English are from the same language family, unlike Spanish. It's also much easier to pick up a language when you live in a country where it's spoken.

It's totally absurd to me that Spanish isn't supported in the game. I've never played a game that didn't have Spanish localization. It's such a massive language market that it makes zero business sense to exclude it.

Trashs1

im from germany and i play the game in german language. we have to learn at least 1 foraigen language in school and quite some ppl also a 2nd one.

i speak fluent english and spanish (grammar not perfect!). sometimes im wondering what americans get teached in their schools if they only know english...

don't think your on PS4. Unsure about Spanish. But if you did had PS4, good chance you still can play eso in Spanish. Only reason I know we can play eso in different language on PS4. Is because I was self teaching myself French for awhile. But via the PS4 console itself, there is an option for changing games language.

I played Assassin's Creed Black Flag and Elder Scrolls Online in French for while, do to me self teaching myself. Really fun but kinda awkward since I'm Native English (United States) speaking. I believe there is an option for Spanish to, via the PS4. I wonder tis why ZOS not implemented in all platforms save for some, for respective languages in game. But I'm only aware that PS4 has this option. But i don't think you have PS4.

ESO doesn't have a Spanish version on any platform.

The way it works on PS4, the game's default language often depends on the console's language. Some games allow you to make additional modifications within the game itself, but others don't. I assume ESO is the latter case. Either way, every game has a different number of available languages - you can't "trick" ESO into displaying a Spanish version that it doesn't offer in the first place.

Hi, I tested your theory. Your right about not display the language that not default language. I thought it would be same due me able play eso in French. But yourl right since Spanish no supported even with the tick mark from PS4 setting. I tried it in Espańol from PS4. But game did it in English, except for the pop up warning of blocked screen. But I was able to change my game to French awhile back, I sent 1 pic to 1 of my PSN friends though. Thanks for clarifying I was wrong in this case, was hoping I could help others. but I messed up honestly.
