Re: Namn locked thread

That's the rules EA Staff gives us.

This forum is english with some sections in German, French and Russian but other languages are not supported. More langauges can be requested through the idea exchange. Sure you can use google translate but imagine if eveyone starts to write in their language and you have to translate everything to make sure they're not saying something that is inappropriate and breaking the TOS. It does take extra time translating stuff and it will explodes if everyone is doing it and if you allow one, you have to allow them all. One post might not take a long time, but 100 posts will.

So they get locked and people are asked to post in english.

Also be aware that we are just users here (mostly), already spending hours upon hours on here everyday to help you guys out. We're not paid to do this work but take it out of our spare time. If we would need to start translating post after post, that would make that even more hours.

It might be a pain for the user, but they can use google translate just as well and make their post in english.

Hope you can understand that.

    I did not realize only volunteers help out here. I  understand what you are saying Crin. I am just disappointed in the game right now and I see people asking for help who are not getting any help. I am good at troubleshooting machines and I have had many issues with the game. Like many people I find that It is disappointing when I spend so much money on Sims 3 and then the fun is taken out of the game because of the many issues the game has. I am English but it upset me to see a non English person get blown off. We all put a lot of money into the game. No matter what language we speak. the issues with trouble shooting need to be resolved for everyone. Otherwise they are just going to walk away from the game feeling like they have been ripped off.
