Baldur’s Gate 3

anmch'io spero nella Wizard.

Su D&D Beyond (il sito digitale di D&D) hanno anche reso disponibile il Manuale del Giocatore in Italiano tempo fa. Chissà che non pressino per una traduzione. Capisco l'audio, ma i testi almeno ...

sembra che il problema non sia una questione di costi ma di tempo, insomma gli manca il tempo di localizzare nella nostra lingua è rispettare la data d'uscita da quello che ho capito nel thread del loro forum... quindi forse e dico forse, un po' di speranza c'è

For your convenience as it's become quite a few pages already, some of your concerns have actually already been addressed.

To summarize, it's not a matter of economic cost therefore Larian isn't expecting money of you for Italian localization. It'd be pretty strange if they did, wouldn't it 😁

As someone who's communicated with enough developers in the past, and had enough projects of my own, I could try to offer you my insights as to why Italian didn't make it through first pass. In short, I'd say it's more about the scope, how much you can aim to do vs the outcome. Localization is nice to have, but not a functional must for most entertainment media. English and French (Sometimes Spanish) usually makes its way into localisations in games from day 1, at least in text format, since it's such a high target audience potential and people often known at least one of those languages, even if it's not their native tongue. What ever you add beyond there, is extra cost in form of staff and time, where the efforts go in terms of workload.

In development, one of your main "expenses" is time spent > result gained. So in a development process, you want to spend your time as effectively and 'with the eyes on the ball' as much as possible. Therefore, lots of languages are often left to be added retroactively once the more important tasks are done and finished. If Larian were to add localization for a lot more languages before EA, that'd been broader scope, more staff to work on something else than the game, more workload on QA (Quality Assurance) to make sure that translations are correct, actually occurring properly in all the dialogue in game, etc.) - Naturally most QA probably doesn't speak Italian, so they'd need a specialist. That specialist would need to coordinate with a supervisor, which delays the effectiveness of that supervisor's other tasks. This would likely cause further development delays and September 30th would seem even more like a stretch.


With that, I can assure you that Larian does care a lot about all of its communities, and your passion hasn't gone unnoticed. I'd love to remind you that just because what ever the reasons are for needing to not include Italian in the first pass of localization, doesn't mean Larian doesn't want Italian language in their game. It's just a matter of priorities versus where time is spent, I think.

I know it's unfortunate and that it isn't perfect, but to answer your question about what you can do, I think just sharing your passion for the game and your feedback of really looking forward to an Italian translation goes a long way to show that you want something, so that they know it's an endeavour to look into as soon as it's more viable from a development point of view. ♥

I understand this likely isn't the answer you're hoping for, but I do hope it maybe helps in getting some idea to why things are the way they are.

vogliamo l'italiano prima possibile appena e pronto anche prima del day 1...

Ripeto: pensi che i giocatori di hn altra nazione avrebbero avuto una reazione diversa
