Hi,
since LW 2.0 is already available with german language:
Will there be a german LW 1.0 some day?

LW2 was translated by 2K's pro team.
LW1 was a volunteer project, and no German translator ever finished one. I'll happily upload one if it ever happens.

I understand.
Couldn`t the pro team of 2K do the same thing with LW 1?

Well, they don't get paid for it, so why should they do it? It is not simply translating but often interpreting also: "How to translate quasi-idioms like: 'Fire in the Hole', 'Light'em Up' or 'Shock and Awe'?".LouisdeFuines wrote:I understand.

As for me, it took me some 40+ hours to translate LW to Polish of which 10 hours only for nicknames - you can't translate word-to-word as "it does not sound", you just need new ones And I still find some minor spelling mistakes in my translation
Re: German port of LW Enemy Within
The translating job of Long War has a great prestige, wether it's actually paid or not. I could easily get a job as a translator right now, cuz i've added that LW translating job to my curriculum vitae. And it also becomes pretty handy in my current college career as a translator.

I found this on nexus - it says it is for LW 1.0. I do not know German well enough to tell if it is complete
