JudasIscariot: We occasionally do add other languages to our games as the legal situation permits and we can find the original masters. See this post: http://www.gog.com/news/language_packs_update_10_classic_games

Speaking from personal experience, I have to say that Italian versions of games are sometimes the hardest to find :) Dragon Lore Italian was such a case. Ebay was literally swimming in German, French, and Spanish versions but Italian? Man, that's like winning the lottery :D

If you were smart you would convince the bosses you need funding to travel all of Europe looking through second-hand shops.

Don't ask me, I just plugged "Damn I'm looking good" into a translator. I studied Latin for one semester 25 years ago.

reaver894: cause politics.

And I think English is the second most widely used language on the planet.

Although i dont speak much of any other language than english I would like to see developers and rights holders etc make more languages available for their users. While some older games will likely never get additional language support in an official form it is something i would like to see more of in the future, however then it adds to production costs etc so it will likely never really happen.
Please excuse my ignorance, and merely through inquisitiveness, and perhaps ignorance... but if not english, whats the first most widely used?

It's the universal language. Even the aliens on Doctor Who and Star Trek speak it.

Besides, it's easy to translate English yourself. For German, change W to V, C to K, and "the" to "der". For Russian, add -avich to names, -ski to nouns, and toss in some Sovietness. For Italian, just add -a to every third word and end with an exclamation. Like so:

English: "Commander Shephard, where is the Krogan lubricant?"

German: "Kommander Shephard, vere is der Krogan lubrikant?"

Russian: "Comrade Shephardavich, where is the People's Krogan lubricantski?"

Italian: "Commander-a Shephard, where is-a the Krogan lubricant-a? Mama mia!"

Most companies don't bother because this can take a whole afternoon to do.
