Your best option would probably be to get involved with the current addon that you spoke of, and help push it forward.
There is no point in the developer repeating all the work that has already been done in the Russian language addon, as it sounds quite advanced in its progress.

As a Russian player myself, I'm strongly against the localization. We have a very few professional voice actors in the industry, and for me latest Bethesda game releases that was localized here was a mess. I've changed the voice-over back onto English as fast as I could.
As for textual localization, we have RuESO addon. Consoles, sorry. But I still prefer vanilla language options, playing game in English ups your skills in it quite a bit because of constant need to chat with people, even if it's basic. I don't really understand how you can still avoid learning an international speaking language in 2k19, it's absurd.

Well, waste of resources since Mr.Putin is preparing to pull Russia from the dangerously free-speech Internet into their own Rusnet the russians won't be playing ESO anyway for long

They will make a russian translation when russian players will start accepting to play as a community, not like if everybody should adapt to them
I litteraly see that only with russian player, they caplock in general chat stuff nobody understand.
and when you have a russian in your trial group or pug, it's always the same things, always talk in russian when litteraly everybody ask them to speak english but still continue to writte in russian

Your problem is that you think that all Russian-speaking players are only those who write in сyrillic in chat. There are more of us than you think, because most of us write in English or do not write anything. You only notice those who don't deserve attention and you take your anger out on good people.

Just deal with it and learn english, it will be super useful for many things in your life

If it is so important, why the game was translated into German, French and Japanese?

As a person who has some experiance in translation I can say for sure that even after 3 years of working with the English text, I still do not fully understand quests in this game. And now I'm not talking about the objectives of quests or their general essence, I can't feel the RPG atmosphere. I can't get what character think about something or what he/she feel, it's impossible because I see a lot of unfamiliar words and figures of speech. In the end, I get tired of a foreign language and just want to relax and having before my eyes a language I know all my life. Yes, we have an addon, and I always finding an untranslated pieces.
There's impossible just to "teach" language. You have to spend a years to know everything. Chatting and reading in literary American English are different things.

But you did not add at least Russian translation in game.

As an official translation we've getting only subtitles in videos from Bethesda Softworks Russia in YouTube (thanks to them). ZoS can't translate because of out of specialists, and the largest Russian localization companies pervert MMO projects, introducing pay-to-win system and just killing them with agressive donation. With all my wishes sometimes to understand speech without subtitles (some lines haven't subs, sometimes subs are bugged and don't shows), I don't want localization that will turns TESO into pay-to-win monster with pathetic 2-days-recorded voice acting.

See, in zone chat I see German, Finnish, Greek and some other languages I couldn't recognize, and I don't recall somebody ever have been asking them to speak English instead.

I've seen a very vehement and persistent attack on German guys. 'This is a common zone chat, English-only, go to DE zone!!!'

Well, if I saw that I would say them there is EN-zone as well, so if they want English-only chat then they should go to EN-zone. Common zone chat is for all languages, it never was English-only and will never be.

Russians are the most toxic part of the community so they don't need anything.

Awesome for you from a secret Russian player. Secret means I never speak Russian in any public game chat - zone or guild. Whispers only, and this is fun sometimes. Me and the other player trying to talk in English, but we both suspect something because of bad English... and here we are, both from Russia

I don't think you understand how difficult and time consuming learning a second language is. As someone currently learning Japanese, I can tell you it's not as easy as "just dealing with it"

Прошло пять лет, и каждый год приносит больше контента.

Скорее всего, они не планируют больше языков, потому что работа будет огромной.

Unless your native tongue is already English. Then learning a second one becomes an optional choice instead of a useful necessity. Schools barely even give the electives. Mine had Spanish and French. Tried French for a semester, failed it because of the Homework. Never went back.

I'm French, I play MMORPG since a very long time when all of them was English.
I was very, very bad at school in English lesson.
But, when you play, it's all different. You learn little by little and it's fast and easy cuz at 1st you just need few word to understand and speak with other for trade/dg/pvp (skill name, dungeon name, useful item name..).
Then, by doing quest, craft and all other activity and speaking with people (or writing) you start to learn w/o even notice it !

Now I can speak and write, not perfect at all, sure, but far enough to be understand and understand what I ear/read.
English is very easy to learn in game cuz : you love playing.
No one ask the OP to learn a perfect English.

Trust me, start with a translator for all new word, and little by little you won't even need it, even if you don't know the word you just gonna catch the sense and it's enough.

@OP : I know it can be a pain the 1st few day, but in the long run you will be glad to learn some word.

Also, a bit out of subject, I still don't understand why, in this modern era, we still don't have a international unique language mandatory to school (I know they exist already but no one seem to care)
