@EA_Francois - what about the regions where English is not listed as an option? I'm in Poland and the listing in the sdescription says that this game is available in Polish, Russian and Czech - why not English? Is there one reason why in these 3 regions we can't buy the English version?
Varhyd, Once upon a time Russian versions of EA games were sold for close to 50% off English language versions. Lot of Key selling sites sprung up to take advantage of this by offering keys to folks in other countries. To counter this, EA made it such that Russian versions were restricted to 2-3 languages only. But now, Russian versions cost the same as other regions, yet EA has not yet updated their policy to add other languages in, so we are stuck with these 3 languages even though we pay the same as members in other countries.
Hopefully they will soon fix this, but dont expect it to happen for this game!!!
- This policy is unlikely to change in the near future. It is possible to purchase English versions off of reputable digital stores, though, such as Amazon, Gamestop, etc.

So You basically mean that Origin ain't reputable digital store? That's rich. Also, CIS translations are sickeningly bad, like half of the text doesn't make sense (or more if we're talking about space adventures), or even won't fit - sometimes you can only guess sims mood by colour and face on the panel cause text just disappears. And everyone in CIS stuck with this situation because of an outdated policy, so yeah, I would appreciate it if you as a community manager will try to change something in ea's heads as an insider.
- I obviously meant reputable digital stores other than Origin, but I'm guessing that was a rethorical question.
As for the quality of the translation, I'll pass your feedback to the team, although if you're talking about specific elements I'd ask that you report them individually so we can get them corrected.
