Hello,

Many games have now embraced the idea of letting their community translate (at least parts of) the game into the less well-known languages. Such translations are obviously marked 'unofficial' or 'fan-made' in the language selection, because it's never 100% perfect, nor complete, and therefore not representative of the overall game quality.

However, even an incomplete and imperfect translation is often preferable to many people. Mission texts would obviously take ages to translate, but even having just the UI translated (while the rest is still in English) does wonders.

Would it be possible to allow us, the community, to translate EVE into our native languages to help those less proficient in English? I would love to translate the game into Czech, for example.
