It's been decided that the game will (eventually) be translated into a number of different languages. Currently, translation is only available with external addons for your browser, or using a browser such as Google Chrome or Chromium that has this functionality built in. Since it is a little easier to adapt the wiki for multiple languages, and the documentation is an integral part to learning the game, we will be starting with the wiki first.
Right now, we are in the early discussion stage of how to best do this. Player input is welcome and encouraged. Discussion will take place on Project talk:Internationalization.
Country Statistics (as of 11 August, 2011)
This is a list of the top 20 countries from where people play.
| Country | Number of Players |
|---|---|
| United States | 852 |
| Canada | 176 |
| Australia | 104 |
| United Kingdom | 70 |
| Malaysia | 65 |
| Russian Federation | 49 |
| Sweden | 48 |
| Philippines | 38 |
| Netherlands | 35 |
| Singapore | 29 |
| Germany | 21 |
| Denmark | 17 |
| Romania | 17 |
| Brazil | 16 |
| Finland | 15 |
| Indonesia | 15 |
| Norway | 14 |
| New Zealand | 12 |
| Italy | 11 |
| Belgium | 11 |
It is doubtful we will translate the wiki into all of these languages. They are listed merely to give any interested parties an idea of where the player base comes from.
Which Languages To Translate To
This will depend on a number of factors. Mainly, we'll need the participation of the community from different countries who can contribute their time to writing and ensuring proper translations.
Which Articles To Translate
The first priority is of course game documentation. Basically, this entails everything directly game-related and listed in the Help Index.
