Of interest to our Dutch members

Post by Dr Brad » Thu Sep 24, 2009 6:17 pm

From today's RS Q&A on "Localization":
Blokker12 asks:
Will rs ever appear in dutch...

Dutch is quite a specific case. We have a lot of players from the Netherlands, but research shows that 89% of Dutch speakers also speak English; therefore, Dutch is not likely to be our next language. Maybe if you could all unlearn English there would be a chance of a Dutch version happening in the future.

Although í'm Dutch i won't need a Dutch version of the game, but there are a lot of younger players who have troubles in quests and overall gameplay.
I think Jagex could better concentrate on larger groups of people like russians or finnish/swedish.

Us duch haf leet enlish skils :D

Like Manni said, I don't need a dutch version of rs. Even better when it keeps the dutch kids from playing this game, cause I personally find them very annoying and rude. Main reason why I don't play on dutch worlds, cause I can't stand them.

Swedish worlds ftw, I can't understand a thing most kids say there in their mother language :lol:

What Hid said, the Borski/Borski worlds are the best.
My favorite world is 151 (Finland i believe). :-D

Al zouden ze een nederlandse versie maken zou ik hem niet spelen.

For all non-dutch player: Even if they make a dutch version I wont play it.

I remember the first time windows said to me I had a CVE in my computer, it is CPU translated to dutch.
Some things are better if you keep it in english.
With translations like that its harder to understand sites like tip.it or runehq because you still dont know what to look for.

Personally i think a dutch version will be best, as it's like jagex saying that all dutch players must learn english to get the basic understanding, or find friends that know both languages.

However i agree with and earlier post of getting other countrys that need it done more first.

I still believe Dutch deserves to be implimented into the game.
