why video games are never in Greek

[Psyhakiasman]

As you can read in the title,video games never have the Greek language available.Why?

Eh, I dunno. I geuss its like asking why videogames arn't in Swahili. Prolly because said country doesn't lisecnes the game. I don't think this topic belongs here...

it's not a major language. i am sure there are a lot of video game players there like anywhere else, but it's just not a big enough language to make a game specifically for it. i dunno. don't hit me.

If it makes you feel any better, not many videogames in Brazil get translated to portuguese. At most, the manuals are translated. These days I've been hearing of videogames being dubbed and translated here, but I haven't seen many...

Greek just isn't as widely spoken a language as say, Spanish. Since games tend to be released throughout Europe, they will use the most widely spoken language in a particular region. So, Greece would fit Souther Europe, but the main languages would be Italian, English and Spanish since they are more common in general.

The reason for that is that in America it isn't a major language, but in other countries they probably have them

Also, nice avatar hades dragon, kenshins brother in law(forget his name) is awsome

Exactly. Game companies only cover the major languages of the continent.

Guys,i mean that the Greek parts of the video game companies could change it from English to Greek.Why they do that?

well most greeks understand english well enough. So i see no point in doing greek translations.

 

[Lycanthrope]

Greek isn't a major language spoken by many.

There are no Dutch translated games either (thank God, thank you), nor Swedish or Norwegian, right? Ditto for a lot of other languages.

So that's your reason. Ok its not a reason, but to show its not just Greek...
