Hm, what.. Is there really that much work to translate EU to Spanish? All ya have to do is make the auctioneer say "Hola amigo" and rename the trade terminal to "Comercio terminal". How much can there be to translate? I'd understand if it was a game with thousands of quests and NPC's that say things other then "hello".

well, that's exactly the problem...
"comercio terminal" does not mean anything in spanish; if anything, it would be a good term for "a shop that is about to die" or something like that. otoh, "terminal de comercio" would be much more appropriate, although it might not be the best translation either.
it is for these subtleties where native speakers come handy.

also, there are over 6,000 items and i don't know how they plan to translate them; most probably the name cannot be translated to keep compatibility with other languages (in auction and such...), but surely the description will be translated.

Does anybody know if there is a spanish speaking entropia forum in existence?

I have heard of an Argentinean based Spanish speaking forum on Entropia Universe mentioned a few times. I don't have the link though without searching around for it.

You'd probably be surprised by how much of the English in EU is still inaccurate/confused/obscure at the moment. As a native English speaker, there are still a few things in there that always raise a smile. Not to mention the many, many typos that still exist in EU.

I agree, and this is probably the same reason why a lot of the English currently used in Entropia still makes me smile.

I know someone, that knows someone, who heard of someone that knows someone who knows about spanish.

I take the typos as future adaptions of the language, since it all takes place in the future...

I think I know someone, who knew that someone too. At the very least, he knew someone who had someone as a friend on Facebook that he met in a chat room who once knew a person that knew about a place called Spain.
