Dutch language ?

[Rime Pendragon]

Will the game come with a Dutch language option ?

[Rime Pendragon]

Any news on this ? i would really like a Dutch language option!

[King Arroz Doce]

Same, gifted this to me dad, it would help alot if there was a Dutch language option.

[Rime Pendragon]

Any news on this ?

[Syrrah]

Count me in as well. My parents both are fanatic bird watchers but the English bird names are so totally different from the Dutch ones, I just don't want to gift them this game when it's in English ...

[Rime Pendragon]

No news ?

[ChrisK]

We're not planning on adding more language options to the game at the moment, sorry!

[Ginger_Justice2020]

there is a Japanese option i think

[Sandracula]

I can provide the translations in a file if necessary. Let me know, I work for a boardgame company who translated the English version to the Dutch one, so I have it available if needed. Give me the English version and I'll translate it, @ChrisK. Feathery greetings Sandra

[Lammert]

+1 for translation

Bump!
This would be great, also bought it for my father who misses the dutch bird names...
Please consider adding :)

[Rime Pendragon]

I'm going to bump this again. How hard can it be to translate a game ?

[King Arroz Doce]

Well the original board game is already Dutch i'm assuming so should not be too hard to add this.

I talked to our board game translation department and I now understand why you won't do other languages. See that explanation below.

BUT you can add the birdnames in a pop-up in the native language of the user.

Let me explain for other people. Names of birds with colours differ in native languages. The golden oriole (golden) for instance is named Wielewaal (no color) in Dutch. And more of these examples. All percentages of bonus cards need to be redone. And that takes way to much programming power and maintenance for these brave people making this beautiful game.

For everyone interested here are the Dutch names:

They did that for the other languages so there is allready a system in place for these different rules per language.
