Russian text in non-russian version

[AntoxaGray]

Red Orchestra 1 replaces all cyrillic letters with ~ (that's why you see ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~ in chat/names on russian servers).

UT3 has similar problem (it replaced letters with squares).

How is russian letters work in Red Orchestra 2? Because I don't want to install russian version just to see chat, I get used to english. Even if I didn't know language, I'd prefer normal words over ~~~~~~~~~~.

Yes, that's a very good point.
I'd like to know also, and I hope it's fixable.

Maybe this time the Russian alphabet will be ingame from the beginning so, you will not need to install it apart

Interesting point, i'll wait an answer

Better language support would be nice. I'm not sure if anything would limit TWI but it might be nice to have support for Chinese/Japanese language support for our fellow RO players in the east. Also Cyrillic support would be great for us admins. Identifying ~~~~~~~~ ~~ ~~~ is not excactly fun when there are multiple ~~~~~.

A fix for that, if doable, would definately be nice, as the Russian and European communities do overlap some, i've played with quite a few Ruskies, but the language barrier only gets worse when you don't even know how to address them (what do you shout out on voip when "□□□□□□□□" or "~~~~~~" is about to get naded? You basically have to resort to calling him "Hey you Russian guy").

Lets just hope it's not tied to your Windows localization in some annoying way they can't just fix..

I think this is a great idea! However, the only russian word I know is "Gomosekualist" (which I probably spelt wrong) for "homosexual" and whether it's added or not doesn't affect me personally, but I think it'd be a big help for others.

I only speak a few words of Russian aswell, but i do know the.. uhhmm.. cyryllic (how do you spell that in engrish?) alphabet, so if i can just see the name, i can atleast figure out how to adress the player (even if i probably do butcher the pronounciation)

It can be fixed with custom fonts. Same for RO1

agreed that it' better to watch or trying to undrstand to Cyryllique instead of signs just let you knowing that you killed or been killed by ..........................

simple stuff as Np or GG could be great to see in game into Cyrilliqque alpahabet ... just my point


see u in game

And if they implement Cyrillic, the Russian realism community will be able to confuse everyone, including themselves, with authentic ingame names.

Use the Google Translate engine to translate in-game Cyrillic into phonetic Russian or English, should be easy to implement!

 

[NoxNoctum]

ya even if i dont understand a word of it seeing Cyrillic scrolling across the screen is definitely better than seeing a bunch of ~~~... especially since it's set on the eastern front in the first place .

Also it's annoying for player names. All the ruskies are just various lengths of "~" which makes it impossible to distinguish from another. Kinda stupid.
