yes i dislike russians. 80% of them all. are we cleared now?
maybe youre in mature category of wise - good pepole? but you do have habit to make any topic to the personal showdown. this is one of the many reasons i dislike russians.
if my words insult you somehow - its your problems. if you have any more questions - please meka it outside this forum.

im so sorry for the big offtopic

I (Haoose), MysteriO, Skittles and several people have already translated game on Russian language. Here we can be moderators. Online version we removed. We are waiting for the start of the official translation. Experience in translating games we have not the smallest.

@PatrickKlug read above please

game is at all torrents with translation from Haoose. so this topic is kinda usless atm


we wasted so much time to decide “whos gonna be a moderator” @PatrickKlug

well, finding good people to do a quality translation is never a waste of time.
Sadly Russia is the number one pirating nation. Our statistics from Russia are incredible.

99.7% of Russian players pirated the game…

I wonder if there are any Russian game developers, and if yes, how do they survive?

The fact that I’m from Russia, and the fact that we translated this game, and the Pirates have posted it on torrents - does not mean that we do not want to translate it officially. If there is an official translation - a lot of players from Russia will want to buy it, because it is really cool!

I think the numbers are extreme but I’d rather have them play a proper verified translation so I’m willing to collaborate.

The translation project lives at

http://translate.greenheartgames.com/projects/game-dev-tycoon/master/ru/

Since you’ve already translated most of the strings it’s probably better if you download the empty ru.po file from github:

And then use POEdit or something like that to enter your existing translations. Just get back to me with the filled out ru.po file and I’ll upload it and organize someone to verify the quality.

Hi! Thanks for awesome game! I have just 1 question: I search for translation into Russian, but i found just cracked version. Why pirates can translate the game and our community cannot do this? :slight_smile:

why you dont read all the topic ?)

I mean that official translation has just 22.2% (http://translate.greenheartgames.com/projects/game-dev-tycoon/) but not official has about 100%.

P.S. I clone git repository and will try to help =)

Hello! I’d like to join translation process. What should I do to get in the process? Just register on translation site or something else is needed?

Hey again Andrew! Nice to see you on the forums! :yellow_heart:

Hi!:slight_smile: Have you already got my email with OS version and game type?

Yes thank you! I am just having a break from Support emails to manage the forums instead! I need a clone-ing machine :dizzy:

Just bought the game, after played russian pirate version (translated by http://games-gen.com). Too bad you guys don’t want to implement at least this pirate translation, it looks nice.

You can beat Russian piracy in two simple steps. The price, and translation. The price is already more than reasonable. Now make another step.

Oh, wow. Would you mind sharing the source of this number? Not that I doubt it, just curious if things are really as bad as this.

That’s not quite correct. While 8$ price tag might just work (I don’t know how well indie games sell in Russia, but they regularly have to compete with AAA-titles which are priced down as far af 50% for local market), the only way to see any profits from Russia is to put game on Steam with official translation.
(Also that the game looks like GDS makes it way easier to justify piracy, but I guess nothing can be done about that).
