Re: Please add Ukrainian language
Dear Electronic Arts Team,
I'm writing to you as a dedicated fan of The Sims 4 and a member of the vibrant Ukrainian gaming community. First and foremost, I want to thank you for creating a world that celebrates diversity, inclusivity, and the freedom of self-expression. It's precisely because The Sims stands for these values, so I ask you formally please, add the Ukrainian localization to the game and the EA app!
For many years, the Ukrainian community has been a loyal part of the EA family. However, despite our large and active player base, we are still forced to play in foreign languages. Adding Ukrainian is not just a matter of convenience; it's a matter of representation and respect.
First of all, we have a growing and loyal Market. Ukraine has one of the largest and fastest-growing gaming communities in Europe. By adding our language, you would tap into a market of millions of players who are eager to support creators who recognize their identity.
Second of all, the Sims 4 is a game about life. For us, language is the core of our culture and identity. Being able to tell our stories in our mother tongue would make the "Play With Life" experience truly universal and inclusive for us.
And third of all... Historically, many games in our country were only available in Russian... We were forced to play with this language included without a choice! In the current global context, it's more important than ever to distinguish Ukraine as a separate, sovereign cultural entity. Providing Ukrainian localization is a powerful way for EA to show its commitment to ethical gaming and global solidarity. Also localization ensures that all players, including younger audiences and those who may not be fluent in English, can fully understand the complex mechanics, emotional nuances, and humorous descriptions that make The Sims so special.
The Ukrainian community is ready to support this initiative in any way possible, there are even dozens of volunteers who are ready to translate the game for free!
