I bought Panzer Corps a few minutes ago, after I saw that in the Gameinfo stands: Languages: EFIGS
I guessed that G stands for German. So now after the installation there is no German at all.
Maybe i must download a different client?


Regards

Daishi

it is only in English currently so the website has bad data unfortunately. We are working on transaltions but don't have an ETA on them yet.

I hope, after the translation, there will be an german-patch?

Localization is ongoing and some languages are done, or almost finished. We will offer free patches, once a language is available, to patch your English version into a language of your choice. Be sure we will announce it as soon as German is available. We just cannot give an exact date yet, we are all working hard though.

The issue is not the translation - the issue is the German release at retail. We need to synch up the release of the German version with the retail release. We're trying to confirm the retail dates for that but its difficult because so many people are on holiday.

Status: offline 		Unfortunately the website that says the game is available in other languages is nothing to do with us and we don't have any way to update it. Generally once they post news/info it is almost impossible to get them to correct it so we have to be careful we only send out one message, which is a correct one. We've definitely never said the game was available in EFIGS so I dont know where they got that from :( We've tried to be very clear that the game is only available in English and other languages will follow later.

Otherwise I bought a game and can't play it by now, because me english is not that good

Either way, I hope the waitingtime is not that long...

But I agree with you that a German version would be very much appreciated by a large group of potential PC buyers.
So get that German patch rolling / cracks whip

If we want to release at German retail, which we do, we can't release the German version online before the retail version. We hope there will not be a long delay between it being complete and being able to release and will do our best to minimise any delays. We want you guys to have the German version as much as you do!

6 weeks or longer waiting for the German version is much too long...

I checked the files and there's a lot of ASCII files where you have to translate things.
And viewing the EXE some messages seem hardcoded but I'm not sure if this is really used. So for me waiting for any language it seems better to wait until released.

However if there's UI text hidden in the EXE it would be better to 'outsource' them so it's easier to mod them. If there's any text hidden in the EXE file.
