Pottercito_ Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 (edited) I know that here in the forum some people are from Spain or speak spanish as their main language. It'll be great if this website start creating guides in another languages. It is only an opinion. Edited January 17, 2016 by Pottercito_ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damon8r351 Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Guide team and staff have said multiple times that guides are only going to be done in English. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pottercito_ Posted January 17, 2016 Author Share Posted January 17, 2016 I created this thread because I was reading the PSNProfiles: Writing a Guide and as you can see in this section, it says: We currently only accept guides in English. If you are from non-English speaking country and are not completely fluent in English, then you need to find another person who is fluent in English that you can add as a contributor to your guide so they can help you out to be able to get your guide approved.That word means that in the moment they accept guides in English, but in the future Sly can create a new update with guides in spanish.

Doom Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 I hardly think Sly has the patience, time and probably knowledge to translate all guides in spanish with an update. Either guide creators make them or not. But why even do this? Did spanish become the new english without me noticing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pottercito_ Posted January 17, 2016 Author Share Posted January 17, 2016 There are some users that speaks spanish very well here in the forums. My main language is Spanish, I can help with that. This is going to be the first PSN website with two kind of trophy guides: English and Spanish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ExHaseo Posted January 17, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted January 17, 2016 It seems a bit weird to include multiple languages of guides on an English speaking website. It will only confuse people. I think it would just alienate the majority of the people here, and only help out a minority, for largely no reason. Since everyone here understands English. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pottercito_ Posted January 17, 2016 Author Share Posted January 17, 2016 And I'm not saying that all guides that are created here must be changed again to spanish. No, only people wo speaks spanish/or have a good spanish can create guides in that language. It seems a bit weird to include multiple languages of guides on an English speaking website. It will only confuse people. I think it would just alienate the majority of the people here, and only help out a minority, for largely no reason. Since everyone here understands English. The guides can be separated. I think it is a good idea. I've seen many forums profiles members that are from spain here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post xZoneHunter Posted January 17, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted January 17, 2016 Apparently, yes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_languages_by_number_of_native_speakers It's decided, future trophy guides will be written in Mandarin. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pottercito_ Posted January 17, 2016 Author Share Posted January 17, 2016 It's decided, future trophy guides will be written in Mandarin. Yest, that language is the language that is spoken by most of the people. China is really big. But English is most common in every country.

Popular Post Apex Predator Posted January 17, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted January 17, 2016 Clearly you underestimate Sly's skill set, Doc. He has had so much Spanish Fly, that he's practically Spanish himself.. Spanish is no different from any other language. If PSNP were to allow Spanish guides, it would need to allow guides in every language, which is just a ridiculously bad idea. Most people are able to read / write English, for those who aren't, tough luck. Guides must be accessible for the main audience. Creating trophy guides for what... 2% ( this is an estimate, don't carry on on this figure) is pointless. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExHaseo Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 (edited) The guides can be separated. I think it is a good idea. I've seen many forums profiles members that are from spain here. And if they're here, that means they understand English. There's no reason to alienate the majority of the users here in favor of one language. Even if they're separated, there could very easily be games that end up only having guides in Spanish. If they were in English, everyone here could understand them, but since they wouldn't be, it would just be screwing over everyone else. All for no real reason. If PSNP were to allow Spanish guides, it would need to allow guides in every language, which is just a ridiculously bad idea. This is also a good point.

damon8r351 Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 If we're ever going to start writing trophy guides in other languages, then I'm going to demand they start writing ones in Scottish dialect, Boontling jargon, and Traveller cant, because you know, got to be all-inclusive.

SuffyZorugelion Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 I'm sure there might be some Spanish trophy sites or forums, which would be much more suitable for this kind of stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But why even do this? Did spanish become the new english without me noticing? yes, i'm surprised that there are still some people who don't know that Spanish is in top 3 most spoken languages in the world...

DrBloodmoney Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 does the google 'translate' thing work on guides? If so, I can't imagine it's a problem, though as a language neanderthal who only speaks one language I can't really judge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doom Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 yes, i'm surprised that there are still some people who don't know that Spanish is in top 3 most spoken languages in the world...I'm surprised there's still people that think the new continent is the centre of the world and everyone should know every little thing that goes on there. I live in europe, and as you can see spanish is spoken only in spain, here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kishnabe Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Just use google to translate the page to Spanish. English To Spanish translation is far better than Japanese to English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheYuriG Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 PSNP is an English oriented trophy website, so it's logical that the guides are all written in English. Do you know where you can find Spanish guides? In Spanish trophy websites. In Brazil we have mypst.com.br, there are Portuguese (BR) guides there. I don't use it because i don't like gaming (or playing) with the BRs, but if wanted to, i could. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Pottercito, you might've forgotten, but we've told you this a couple of times already. Asking the same thing over and over again won't change the answer . Guides must be written in English.

And yet, here you are, as a citizen of Spain and presumably a Spanish language speaker (if the flag of Spain on your profile is any indicator), carrying on a perfectly meaningful conversation in English. The owner of the site is a British citizen, the moderator staff are all either from the UK or the US, the Guide Team members all speak conversational level English, the majority of members here are from the UK, the USA, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. It's safe to say this is an English-speaking website. How many people are there from Spanish-speaking countries on the leaderboards, judging by country flags in profiles? Roughly 14,000, and I actually rounded up. How many people on the leaderboards, just from France alone? 98,000, and that's rounding down. If you want Spanish trophy guides, find a Spanish website. If you want French trophy guides, find a French one like where Aela was being impersonated at. Japan is actually the largest non-English speaking minority here, judging by the leaderboard numbers.

Happy Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 (edited) There's probably spanish trophy hunting sites as well. Not trying to be offensive or rude, but if you want spanish guides why not go look there? Having guides in different languages here would only end up confusing people.
