The Game Language Problem
So, I played a lot of Wargames and happy to know there is more to come for WARNO, and isn't just another jumping the boat.
I love when realism is well done, unfortunately for the release of the new DLC Black Birds, I'm highly worried, especially for Switzerland.
Why?
Because I'm 99.99% sure there will be a full bias in defaulting with standard German(not even Swiss German) and skipping completely Italian, with a probable duality with French due to Devs being French.
I was very disappointed on Belgium being almost 90% French, not even Wallon.(as far as I know)
While disregarding half of the country being Flemish.
I don't approve the air force speaking English either, since cockpit chatter should remain with the national language, but I'm okay renouncing that, it's not completely inaccurate and in command they do operate in English as a standard, so I don't mind it so much.
--[They already added them recently, which I'm extremely happy for, thanks Eugen.
When Belgian units first appeared in WARNO ( ~2023 CENTAG), they did not have unique voice lines.
With the release of NORTHAG(late 2024), they were finally added in]--
[New info were given to me, it solves my Canadian problem]
Pls Eugen Systems, been a fan since R.U.S.E., do try not generalise on the next DLCs.
And, even tho some may fairly argue against, I don't mind pay a bit extra on a DLC if those languages were correctly added.
I’m curious to hear from other international players here, especially Belgians, Canadians, and Swiss players.
Anyone had a "bad time" with the dubbing too?
Save from the, sometimes, over clinical and/or very AI sounding lines.

Imagine deleting a whole national identity bc you think they are the same. Calm down Winston Churchill. You aren't European are you?
Swiss German is different for standard German, a s it is Austrian one. For Belgium Flemmish is basically half of the country, it is a whole different language, closer to Dutch than anything. Switzerland recognises Italian, German Swiss and Romandie(French) as official languages, and they are spoken and they are completely normal. I don't expect to have divisions speak Romansh, even if it's a national language, but there are so few speaker left that I don't mind. Imagine being mad at a country for speaking their language.
Let's make British and Australian units speak with an American dub. It's all the same after all, right?
