SE4 in germany
 

I know that SE4 is distributed in the US and in the UK. Are there any plans to find a distributor in Germany? It's very expensive to buy SE4 here as the price is nearly doubled if imported from the US and tripled if imported from the UK. I personally think there is a great market for this game in Germany, at least 6 other persons in my vicinity would buy SE4 if it was distributed in Germany (but of course in English language!).

I would like to see it translated someday, but just how would you translate "Anti proton beam" or some of the other wacky ones? Thats what would stump me if I tried translating anything

bablefish thinks its Anti- Protonlichtstrahl, but since my knowledge of the German language is limited to things like Spaten and wurst, im obviously not a credible reference.

Well, most of the terminology in SE4 is pretty much meaningless technobabble. With a technical translation dictionary and a bit of imagination you could probably come up with some decent translations. It doesn't have to be an exact translation (how can you translate something that has no real meaning anyway?), it just has to sound sci-fi.

Try watching things like Star Trek in german, then comparing it to the same episode english to see how they get around it.

I keep a few handy translation links on my website.
