EA has humor , Gameplay trailer with pronouns.
This feature is still missing for non-English 3 years later ... It's almost insulting for the rest of the planet.
NoahLGP I understand your frustration about the trailer announcing "pronouns" when they’re only available in English in the game.
But I’d like to add something about LGBTQ pronouns: in English, it was relatively easy for the queer community to give an inclusive dimension to the already existing "they/them" pronoun.
However, it’s EXTREMELY complex in gendered languages like French, Spanish, or Italian (where even objects like tables have a gender?!) to find an equivalent.
I mean, I speak French, and I know that even though the LGBTQ community has proposed several new pronouns (because none of the existing ones really work), most French speakers either don’t like the suggested forms or have never even heard of them — so they’re rarely used in everyday language.
So imagine being part of the Sims 4 translation team in French... what are they supposed to do? And it’s the same issue in other languages!
I think it's illegal : Misleading advertising
French trailer shouldn't have pronoun because this feature doesn't exist in French.
There is no caption mentioning pronouns are only available for English.
