I'm playing with english version and I'm PBEMing with a player playing the spanish one.

Strangely the names of his stacks appears in spanish in my game (when I'm close enough to see them).

On the Spanish forums there was one player reporting that on a PBEM with a french guy he was seeing his stacks with french names :siffle:

It adds a new level of fog of war! :niark:

Apart from that glitch, it seems different language versions are pretty compatible :coeurs:

Mr. Spock from Star Trek used it for extraordinary situations. :sourcil:

He used "interesting" for the ordinary ones. :niark:

Alas, if you play against a Russian player, you won't see in Cyrillic the names of his generals, this would have been so cool, just trying to identify who he is using!

He look, I have a Франко-итальянский командир !!

That will be a neat extreme fog of war feature for the 1812 Russian campaign of NCP!! :niark:

I agree that it is very minor glitch. I was just trying to be helpful and that's why I bothered to spend the 5 minutes posting on the forum. :grr:

ACW is available in several languages and the "orders" file is put together to be sent to the other PBEM player. His computer would not know whether it was being sent to a German, English, Spanish, French, or Italian player, so it is produced under the language of the installation it was installed on.

OK That's the mecanism in play here .

I'm hosting the game and generating the files .trn but I suppose that my fellow spanish player doesn'nt read the messages in the message log in english but in spanish.

Understanding that the name of the stacks are computer generated and not typed by the user you could think of similar mecanism for stack names vehiculating only 'tags' in the files and the tags are traduced from a multi-lingual list using the language of the version in play.

Anyhow, I see it as a glitch in the localization mecanism although I agree with you it's a very minor glitch. I was just trying to be helpful.
