Rocks'n'Diamonds

the only languages i speak are english and dutch

I agree here -- all in-game information should be in English (or at least *also* in English -- there is one level set with envelope info in both German and English, I think).

I think english also; because there's more bilingual people with english as a second language than there are bilingual people with english as a first language, if you catch my drift (it's a bit cryptic)
[size=0]In other words: there's a lot more people in europe and asia that can also to speak english, while lots of primarily english speaking people don't know a second language...[/size]

i think that when you make levels with the intention to submit them so the whole world can download them you at least could think that the world is a large place and not every one speaks every language

I agree that the info should be in english, but I don't think it's necessary to prevent levels with other languages. It's better to have some level in a foreign language than no levelset at all. The Rocks'n'Diamonds game itself is the same whatever language you speak.

But of course, envelopes or other in-game info doesn't give much information if you don't understand it...

so.....

ingame info should be in english (or at least a translation included)

Yes, but then again - No one can do anything to force players to write in english in their levelsets

Maybe someone could translate the envelopes/level text before the sets are released. That is unless the creator writes in gibberish or some other far-out language that no one can figure out...

Anybody who doesn't speak English wouldn't be able to read this poll, so I'm not sure who it's aimed at.

Maybe to those who *can* speak (read, write...) English, but don't *want* to. ;-)

(No, I haven't said anything about the French anywhere!!! ;-) ;-) ;-) )

Besides that, somebody who managed to download the game, play it, created his own level set with envelopes or other written text would most probably also be able to write those texts in English if they are important to play or solve his/her levels, I assume...

At least that's better than only knowing one language and not bothering to learn any other, simply because ours its the "universal one" (which always makes me feel a bit guilty!)

Anyway, I hardly know English......never mind any others!

I know some spanish, but not enough to be of any real use...

I know about 10 words of French from a mandatory year 7 language class over 6 years ago. Does that count?

I have a friend at university who can speak fluent Japanese. It's pretty cool.
