Polish Skyrim

Hi there. I'm from Polish. I would like to know why Bethesda has not released the Polish Skyrim on Xbox 360 and PS3.

Because they haven't? Why not get the English version? You seem to understand it.

Ask Cenega. They'll probably blame Bethesda. Bethesda will blame Cenega. If it was the PC version, one of them would also blame Valve. That's how it usually goes...

Seriously though, they commented on it in an email to one of Skyrim fans. You can find it http://polygamia.pl/Polygamia/1,107162,10386807,Co_z_lokalizacja_Skyrim_na_konsolach_.html It doesn't really explain why it was impossible, but frankly, I wouldn't count on any detailed answer on this forum either. It might be a good idea to ask them if they're planning to localize the Legendary Edition - but I wouldn't get my hopes up. Cenega seems to have very poor communication with Bethesda, given all the problems they had with releasing DLC.

Will the subtitles automagically translate themselves?

I'm not sure about the Subtitles, it was just a suggestion.

Most likely because they didn't see it as being cost effective to translate to polish.

What's the process of localizing a console game? The PC version was translated, so they already have the text. However, there seems to be much more to it - otherwise why would publishers refuse to localize console versions?

I checked Cenega's FB profile, the Legendary Edition will be in English too. No surprise here.

I wonder how many copies a game must sell to justify a translation.

Is there a way to see sales per country?

If you knew enough French to ask a question by typing (which you could take the time to do) would you want to play a French-only game? Would you enjoy it as much?

Well you could ask Bethesda the next time they will answer questions on the forums, or find on of their accounts on the forums and pm them :)

You'd enjoy a game as much in a language you don't fully understand (and therefore miss things) than in English?
