2.5.5 Patch wiped all unofficial translations

[QuadroTony]

for now we have like 5-7 unofficial translations

but ZOs decide to close them all with last incremental patch
i still dont get it...

why they did this
maybe its was a mistake and they will fix it

but i think the whine coming to the official forum very soon
already saw two topics

I am Leju, I'm the administrator and the translation programmer to PT-BR Immediately after the update tried several things so that nothing worked he does not respect the set Language, including also already sent a request to them, seriously it will be one hell of shot in their feet because many players bought the game after the translations!

I have been working for some time in translation and made me very depremido it was preparing to update the translation refers to the last Update and see that happen too discouraged to continue the project!

Seriously are their commercial people working for them or against them?
Does that even makes sense for anyone?

trade a win-win situation for a lose-lose one. WTF?


--OK guys if you wanna copy pasta my posts on ESO forum, just know that I can say a lot of bad curse words because I'm very cute and adorable. Choose your own words please. thanks.--

What is broken exactly ?

ZOS ignore other values than "fr", "de" and "en" for Language.2 ?
Did you tried to replace per exemple "fr" strings by yours ?


Just to known and help, I tried once a year ago to set my client in russian, that's all.

Idk exactly, reports started falling while EU was still in maintenance. Since some of the people who worked on those languages can't get them working at all, I'm confident they've tried all they could already.

If replacing one of the "official" values is the only solution in the end, that wont do any good either.
But if it works, why not go for it
but not sure how custom font can be supported with this.
And that will make addon testing a bit more of a hell too.

Overall a crappy decision. again.

Maybe they made it because they want to publish their own translations?

Why do MMO players always sound so whiny between a patch and an official response to the new issues? Seriously.
There is no official response yet and everyone already starts calling it bad decision making and stuff.
This makes it just harder for ZOS to give a proper answer, so instead of complaining just report that it does not work and wait for their response first.

I don't have any idea how the custom languages work, but from what I read so far I guess they changed how settings are handled and added a check to ensure that arguments are valid in order to fix some other issue and now the other language settings won't work anymore as a side effect. As they are unofficial, they are not obliged to test against them, so nobody noticed that until it hit live. It is most likely a change in the client, so they won't be able to fix it before the next incremental patch and no amount of crying will make it disappear before that.
