Babayagob Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 I finally did a demo for my friends and they loved the game. I had translated the cards for them, but this made me think (yes this peculiar thing does happen from time to time, though my brain quickly shuts off). Will the cards be translated as well? By that, I mean will the cards be available in other languages, perhaps in packs like the arsenal decks? Or will whole box crews have inside cards in another language? (this last option I find too complicated but who knows?) I'm also wanting to run TTB rpg, and started working on the translation as well...

Babayagob Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 I think we will have to wait for January for an update. Nathan did say it would be too tight for the translations to come by the end of this year. 2016 is going to be a good year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babayagob Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 Looking about the internet, I saw a Spanish store stating that the rules in Spanish would be available in February... Confirmation? Will all the translations come out at the same time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Caroland Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 Spanish and Italian will hit first. Followed by German and French. No dates as of yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babayagob Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 Any news on the French translation? Has this project been abandoned? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Caroland Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 It's translated. Just hasn't been published yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mournblade Posted April 22, 2016 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 Hello.I'm currently the president of an association whose goal is to gather Malifaux French-speaking players (http://www.malifaux-soulstone-union.com/ ). We had the wonderful opportunity to take part in the proof-reading of the files for the translation at the beginning of September 2015. Eversince, we have done all we could to spread the news and bring as many people as possible to the game. We took part in several events, organised many demo games, took some contacts. We managed to have several articles published in different fan-made publications, and even in Ravage (the French original edition of Ravage Magasine, the last independant French magasine published in France). We were quite optimistic as to the results of our efforts, and the results proved better than anticipated, we had built some bonds with potential gamers, shops and even a potential importer. But since January, we haven't had ANY news . At all. We were given the name of the Spanish company which was supposed to take care of the publishing, but we didn't get any answer, in spite of our numerous mails. We didn't even get an answer to our phone calls (maybe we didn't get a good timing : the only person who answered us neither spoke French nor even English.) So, rumors naturally came up, ranging from "Distribution starting next week" to "They gave up on the project". And things are starting to go in the wrong direction. Some new games came up, some others have had new versions published (some of them directly in English, Spanish, French and German at the same time, or within a very short time span), and many gamers are heading in their direction instead of Malifaux's. Even the shops are starting to wonder about the game, because such a lack of communication doesn't bid well for the future of its publishing. We do know that Wyrd isn't directly involved in the translations, but we DO NEED to have informations, so we can offer our (growing) community something more acurate and solid than rumors, because this will, at the end of the day, damage the reputation of the game in French-speaking countries. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkvernon Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 Hi there, I'm a member of the association mentionned by Mournblade myself (and a member of the board of said association) May I add that the deadline imposed on the poor translator were (ridiculously?) short for such a work he had to do. If I remember well, he had less than a fortnight (or was it three weeks?) to translate the whole first book. All this so that in the end, almost a year later, still nothing in sight, not even the slightest mention of the possibility that it may be released one day? It's a bit strong, innit? 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yool1981 Posted May 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 Some players are currently on the fence and looking at several games to chose from. Warmachine/Hordes' new Mk3 is translated in French. Guild Ball has a translation in French (fan-made if I understood correctly). X-Wing & Infinity have translations also. Among the forefront miniature games, only Malifaux does not have any translation in French. Wyrd's sales had begun to grow when the French translation was announced because the community of existing gamers and some shops advertised the game, did demos, wrote articles... We built a momentum. If the French translation is not available soon, we will have worked for nothing at all. What is happening? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkvernon Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 Just to give another testimony to "our situation" in France. I copied from our forum at the very moment and paste it without modification : Quote En septembre de gentils initiateurs du club nous ont fait découvrir le jeu avec l'odeur d'une traduction française... nous étions 6. Le soufflé est retombé... Je range mes petites figurines et mon jeu de cartes. Au mieux on attendra noël prochain. I'll translate for you : Quote Last September, nice people from our club had us discover the game with some words about a French Version... There were 6 of us. But the enthusiasm went down... I'm putting away my minis and my deck of cards. If all goes well, we'll see things as they are next Christmas... Here goes another six players and potential customers... Well done... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pallas4 Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 Same thing in Paris.... I'm really sad about it... For memory, what I said in november. Should I translate? On 05/11/2015 at 0:12 PM, Pallas4 said: I really want it... When I do demos, the sentence I hear most is "le jeu est bien, mais il est en anglais donc...." The game is good, but it's in english so...

Babayagob Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 The real question is: will the French translation ever see the light of day? And if so, when? Perhaps Wyrd is waiting to launch both the new Malifaux book and the French translation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addico Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 Any news? I really really need the german Version :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tris Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 On 11.6.2015 at 2:45 PM, Nathan Caroland said: French, Spanish, German and Italian translations are currently underway with outside partners/publishers. Can't give you a solid date on when they will be released as they are all currently in progress and I have yet to see the final translations and layouts as of yet, but we expect that they should be available before end of year. There you go, news nugget of the day and hobby/love life saved. End of 2015 did come and go, did anything happen in the meantime? Are there unpredicted problems? Personally, I don`t need a translated ruleset, but I`m pretty sure it would get us more new players, so I thought I`ll ask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
