Why no one adds the Romanian language in the Games !!!

Why no one adds the Romanian language in the Games, there are enough players, so I don't see where the problem would be, it would be wonderful if in this game the Romanian language was added <3 at least you will be the first to take this important step for Romania
It would be nice if someone from Lost Ark would answer here :(

We appreciate the feedback! Translation of both text and voice-over is a huge undertaking, especially for a live service game that's consistently updated -- adding a supported language isn't something we can just complete and be done with, and it requires constant updating and continued work. For now, we plan on including English, Spanish, German, and French at launch.

Hi,
I'm not really concerned by this but (french, and using english a lot so no prob), if i was thinking "what if i was".

So, what if i was maybe italian, or Romanians to keep the subject, and not really good in english ?
Well i guess i would like at least to have a translation of the Text part, to understand the story, the menus, my abilities etc.

But i wouldnt feel the need to have the voice translation, i think it would be totaly ok to have the voices in english, and text in my language, i mean it's exactly like watching animes in japanese/chinese with subtitles, people are used to not necessary understand the voices, at long as they can read the story.

So my suggestion on this topic would be : could you think about having more translations for the Text part of the game, without necessary hire voice actors and do all the audio part, for some languages ?
I know you would still need some kind of "translators" in each languages but it shouldnt be very hard it it's just texts.

Because translation in a complete new language have a big cost and maybe they dont get the investment back

It's all about cost/rewards porportions. If it's not looking that profitable they wont bother.

Because we are not troglodytes and learn basic english at least. Jokes aside, i don't think we're that many tbh, and our pockets are not that deep for sure.:)

Romania population 19.41 million. Evan if 10 million Romanians were to play which is doubtful, I doubt even 1 million would actually play the game.

It's just too much work, for such a small demographic. IMO
