You want to avoid the relevant questions and watch me troll Gabriel Garcia Marquez? Dude, the guy was born in 1927. A proper translation of his work would have words like "thou", "fullsome" and "henceforth".

But the point was... Spanish to English is way more difficult than English to Spanish. Spanish has more words and Spanish words sometimes have multiple meanings. Lets see an example:

Spanish to English
Spanish: "Lo mande al carajo"
English: "I sent him to the crow's nest"

As you can see, the translation might or might not be correct. Now, the same thing from English to Spanish:

English to Spanish
English: "I sent him to the crow's nest"
Spanish: "Lo mande al carajo"

On this case, translation is 100% correct. English to Spanish, easy.

This might shock you, but thats the case with literally any language translated into any language - and thats before subtext and cultural reference.

you're starting to understand why translating is not a job for computers with some monkey doing error control.

Gotta love the subtle troll baits. You could say "with somebody doing error control". But nope... it gotta be a monkey.

You are just a troll.

La proxima vez voten por Riverini o un CSM hispano que haga presion. A Spanish Client is Obligatory, the south America Mass prefer 100% spanish games. Eve don´t grow in this regions because this a big problem for us. South America have 150+ millions of internauts, but only a little fraction play EVE. The language is a great barrier to get better numbers, CCP is losing a lot of Money here. Thi is a Fact: SPANISH PEOPLE DONT LIKE PLAY ENGLISH CLIENTS.

Sir, you just puzzled me.

"Carajo" is not even remotely related to "crow's nest". Not at all.

Carajo = d*ck (p*nis)
¡Carajo! = F*ck!
Irse al carajo = go to hell, to f*ck up, to bust something
Mandar al carajo = send to hell
Hacer un frío del carajo = to be bloody freezing
¡Vete al carajo! = F*ck off!, p*ss off!

BTW:

Crow's nest = cofa, puesto de vigía (en una embarcación)

Your google-fu failed you. My translation is correct. Crow's Nest *IS* the original/official meaning of the word. It was one of the most hated jobs on the ship because it was difficult/dangerous to climb there, ship movement were amplified and get you dizzy, you got sunburned and it was boring. It wasn't unusual to be sent to the Crow's Nest as punishment. Therefore, the phrase "sent to the Crow's Nest" was coined as an equivalent of "sent to hell".

Google it up... you will find it.

Yup... totally legit. Want some references? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crow's_nest

Wanna know more, guest what was the word used for "mast"? I'm not even gonna say that one... :P

PS: Meh... the ' character breaks the linky. But copy-pasta it... it's there. Totally legit, not a scam.

Marketing => Localization => $$ Pirate

As long as a localized version attracts more subs (aka more money) than the $$ invested in maintaining that version, it will be done.

Is not what you want, it is what the marketing department dictates.

If that is true, then frankly, Spanish people are dumb.

Get with the times.

However, I don't believe it to be true as I've met many Spanish-speaking people who spoke perfect English during my years of MMO playing.
