New GM's

Ok this server is a multilanguages Server ...came anytime languages packs for the game that the text ingame are in differend languages ?

The client itself already is. We just need more translations. Game content, though, would be very difficult.

Translating for the GM team is not a less responsible job than being a GM itself. It would be dangerous to trust the translations of someone who says "Nah, it's nothing" when translating a chatlog from a friend and "It's a horrible insult, he has to be banned for lifetime" when judging a personal enemy.

I wasn't trying to belittle the job as a translator. But i've seen many that have "On the translating team" or something similar in their sig. Also i've seen many GM's that don't speak the certain language ask for a translation from 2 people who speak the language. You could also use an online translator. You might not get everything out of it in complete sentences, but the average human should be able to tell if it's nothing bad and if it's something insulting, etc. There would be a lot of GM's if they were hired based on the different languages spoken on tmw. So basically what I was saying was maybe hire trusted translaters and not anymore GM's. I also think that tmw community isn't so great if it can't get honost help from its members.

Those that say translator translate the client and such.

Well if there trusted with that, can't they be trusted with translating things caught on a screenshot or other things?

That's if they didn't mind, of course.

I hate it simply because there is already a very simple solution in place, one adopted already by almost all large online games: there is a server for their country, in their language, where everyone can understand each other and there will be no conflict.

We from the development team don't have the resources to host a dozend of servers in different languages.

But everything you need to open your own server can be found online.

So when anyone wants to host the official brazilian, german, italian, russian, nigerian or whatever TMW server we will give you all the support you need.

I was referring to this: http://www.tmwbrasil.co.nr/

That's just a dead fansite, not a game server.

There used to be Brazilian servers in the past, but all of them failed. There are not enough Brazilian players to play on them. And although it seems like tmw is flooded by Brazillians, it's in average only 1 or 2 Brazillian players online at any time. Not enough to host a seperate server for in other words...
This also shows that the problem "appears" to be bigger then it actually is! There are so many people from so many different nationalities with so many different native languages. Why is it that none of them have as much problems with the "speak-English-rule" as the Brazilian players have?

because they're the bosses

It rather seems to be because the Brazilians don't learn English at school (or at least don't learn it good). Most high school level students from european countries don't know perfect english either, but in most cases it is at least enough to communicate.
