Translations of Core Rulebooks

[gonesailing]

Does anyone have information on where/when/if I can find the Core Rules into other languages? (Specifically Russian). Even just the PHB would be great
I just about have my wife convinced to give 4e D&D a shot, but she feels most comfortable reading in her native language.

I don't know, but I just have to say, you joined in 2004, but your first post was today?! Wow! That is a lot of lurking.

Perhaps it took him this long to learn English?

Using the messageboard as his only reference sort of like Antonio Banderas' character in The 13th Warrior.

I guess the best idea would be does a Russian version of 3.5 D&D exist and if so who published it? Chances are they will publish a 4th Edition version as well, eventually.

I know It's beeing translated into Hebrew, but that's it.
These things tend to take a while, but in the end 4E will be translated to EVERY language Known to Man (I'm exaggerating, I know. MOST languages... ).

The formula is this: Take the time it took 3E to get a Russian translation. Devide it by three due to the HUGE success 3E was. Attach a pricing tag equel or bigger than the price 4E has in english, as if it just hit the shelves (because prices tend to get cheaper as time passes. Or at least, that's what heppend wan 3E got to Israel in english about 3 years before it got translated...)

Good luck to you and your sweetheart in getting it fast.
May you have a good gaming with 4E!

I'm for Russian as well.

I might be able to get my wife interested as well.
Long shot but, would be well worth the money. =)

Funny Jokes! And thanks for the help. I was able to find translations of some of the 3.5e core rules but won't link here because I couldn't find a way to actually buy them.(and I am more than willing)
I did find WoTC's distributor in Russia, but couldn't find any info about online sales. (My wife's english is MUCH better than my Russian)

Frankly I'd be more than happy with a translation of the SRD, but that doesn't appear to exist for 3.5

French and Italian versions are being released in June/Summer. No idea about other languages. Since I think Spanish version could take just too long, I decided to go for the English version.

It's my unerstanding that in communist Russia core handbooks translate YOU.

(I'm sorry I but in all seriousness I can't help)

There is only Russian PHB and it isn't very good. There are some unofficial translations. On www.gameforums.ru they publish 3.5 SRD, but it's done very slowly. I know some ppl who prepare to translate 4E corebooks as soon as they get them, but... it must be illegal, so I don't want to frame them giving links here.
