Zombicide & language

[Magneheeli]

Hi Zombicide team!
Congratulations once again!

One more question:
as you are apparently looking for a German distributor (Heidelberger Spieleverlag?)...will you provide the German rulebook as pdf file?

Could I get the files of the German CARDS, so I can craft my own German set?
Lots of my friends don't speak/understand English that well - and I can't afford to buy another set (the German one).
That would perhaps get some people to buy the German version, so it would even be a nice ad.
You wouldn't be afraid I'd craft and sell the game illegally, would you? I mean, it's mostly about these excellent minis, right? How could I?

Along the same lines.....are their plans for a Japanese language set? I am a Japanese teacher.....

 

[Markus_Berger]

I would also like to see a German PDF download version ;-))

So, this thread isn't about swearing at the table, then.

 

[Markus_Berger]

No Archon, this thread is related to languages of the rule book and in game cards ;-)

 

[Magneheeli]

So...c'mon, CMON

Ok, latest news. As you already know, there's a Spanish and French official version coming. GG has indicated that there may be a Portuguese and Italian downloadable version. There are currently no plans for a German or a Japanese version until we secure a national distributor, so if you know of any let me know and we'll talk to them.

Yellow Submarine is the big one in Japan. I do believe that is who Looney Labs went through when they released Flux in Japanese.

Now, that is really strange! CMON wrote in the comment section on the KS page that there will be a German version :-(
That was their answer to my offer to translate the rules into German.
This is perhaps the biggest German distributor dealing with releases of non-German boardgames: http://www.heidelberger-spieleverlag.de/home_english.html

Here is a link to Yellow Submarine in Japan. I'm not sure if they have an English speaker on staff. However, I do speak Japanese and would be available to help out. Will work for zombies. :dance:

 

[Magneheeli]

So...any news here?

Why would you even need a german version of the game?

You obviously seem to be well trained in the arts of English. Embrace international languages.

Im a dane and I propose that you should only make an English version. In fact I think the whole earth should just convert to English. It would be allot easier to talk together then

ツロル ですか？私がわかりない。

And I say that with tongue firmly in cheek.

「ツロル 」ってなんですか。「トロイ」を書きたかったですか。

 

[Magneheeli]

...so what's your guess? I don't need it for me...but for some of my dumb, ignorant German friends who don't speak or understand anything but the ugly noise they produce. I'm a Germ, too.

 

[PegaZus]

「ツロル 」ってなんですか。「トロイ」を書きたかったですか。

More than likely. My skills degrade. And,HFH, I do apologize, but with that as a first post it certainly appeared that way to me, which I inadvertently fed into. So to each his own.

Hi guys,

are there any news about a german translation of this game? I´ve read that in the comment section on the KS page.
I would love to play this game with some of my friends... but i definitly need a german version of this game to realise that...

No answer in any way? Com´on guys... just a little note please. Even if you say that there wont be a german translation in any way would be ok - so I could kick this game out of my head...

Hi Freshjive,

Why didn't you think about Translating it by yourself? If you understand english you can read the rulez and teach the others how to play.

He, funny... sure... I have nothing more to do than translating a whole game... thanks, but thats not what I´m looking for.
