Afrikaans Translation?

Anyone at Slitherine interested in doing a Afrikaans (not Dutch!) translation of the manual for both the original and the expansion (Afrika Korps?) I can do it, but obviously just need to fathom interest from Slitherine/Matrix. Not sure there significant need/sales for Afrikaans versions or customers in South African, but willing to set time aside to do so if needed/wanted. Let me know.

Regards,

Hi WineCape

it sounds really cool and thanks for the offer but I dont know how many people would actually make use of it. Are there many people who only speak Afrikaans? I was under the impression that pretty much anyone who speaks Afrikaans also speaks English. We've always just put English games in to South Africa in the past.

Best regards

Iain

Hello Iain,

Thanks for the quick response. Yes, Afrikaans speakers/players buying PC games are almost all bi-lingual AFAIK. Your impressions seem to be correct then ;-)

A quick brain flash from my side that was obviously quick and not that well-thought through .....

Kind regards,

Charl
