Please Vote on OOB Language

SPCamo want to know if you'd like more english in the formation and units names of SP:

They have a poll with these choices:

* I like things just the way they are

* I'd be happier if at least the formation names were in English

* I'd be even happier if the formation names and the unit names were in English

The poll is here:

This is what I posted:

I finally voted for:

I'd be happier if at least the formation names were in English

I had to think about this for a while. I speak only english, and sometimes struggle with that :rolleyes:. (After all, that's why we fought the war, so we all wouldn't end up having to speak German )

However, I enjoy learning some of the original language names for units and equipment; and some nuances are lost in translation.

I also very much appreciate that this is an international game and community, and don't think english should be the exclusive language used.

But in the end, the one thing that we almost all have in common is at least a basic grasp of english. It's the closest thing we have to an international language.

Using english for only the formations is probably the best compromise. I think it will speed up the OOB learning curve and encourage people to experiment with a greater variety of nations. But we won't lose the orignal flavour of the units.

What do you guys think?
