Bungalow Bob said:Ya, Nintendo should invest a lot more money in translators so that games like this don´t take an extra half year to come out in NA. They should also get a Spanish translation team. Think of all the latino gamers in Spain and the Americas who would love to play a game like Zelda, Pokemon or FE if they could only understand it. Microsoft translates their first party games to Spanish, and seeing how Nintendo´s games are even more popular amongst latinos (at least here in Mexico), I imagine Nintendo could more than recoup the Spanish translation costs - at the very least with their biggest games.
Here's an insider secret: the actual text translation (ie from Japanese to English), is NOT the time-consuming bit in localizing a game. Hiring "more" translators will do you no good.
