[Blizzard消息]暴雪将在拉丁美洲发行WoW
Blizzard Entertainment® to Release World of Warcraft® in Latin America
IRVINE, Calif. – Blizzard Entertainment, Inc. today announced that World of Warcraft®, its award-winning, subscription-based massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG), is being prepared for release in Latin America. The Latin American localization will be based on the existing European Spanish version but will feature entirely re-recorded in-game speech. This new version of the game will be rolled out in select markets throughout Latin America starting in the first half of 2008 and will also be available to Spanish-speaking players in the US and Canada at that time.
A dedicated Spanish-speaking team is being assembled at the Blizzard Entertainment offices in Irvine, California and Austin, Texas to ensure that Spanish-speaking World of Warcraft players based in North and South America will receive high-quality 24/7 support in Spanish. Positions are currently open on the company's customer service, quality assurance, community relations, and web teams, and a new official website for the game's North and South America-based Spanish-speaking players is in development.
"Making World of Warcraft more accessible to gamers around the world has been a longstanding goal for us," said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment. "Spanish-speaking players on our North American realms have already shown a great deal of enthusiasm for the game, and we're pleased to be able to offer them a fully localized version."
Further details on pricing in local currencies for Latin American players, as well as country-specific availability, will be announced closer to release. Also closer to release, Blizzard will provide details on language-pack downloads and character-transfer options for existing Spanish-speaking players on the game's North American realms.
Since World of Warcraft launched in November 2004, it has quickly become the world's most popular MMORPG, with more than 10 million players worldwide. The game is currently available in English, French, German, Korean, European Spanish, and Simplified and Traditional Chinese. In addition to the forthcoming Latin American Spanish version, a Russian version is in development for Europe.
To keep pace with the continued growth of World of Warcraft and development of other games, Blizzard Entertainment is currently hiring for numerous open positions.

粗略翻译一下：
暴雪准备在拉丁美洲发行wow，该拉美版基于正宗西班牙语版本制作，但所有语音经过重新录制。服务器将在2008年上半年于拉美各国陆续部署，这些服务器也将对北美的西班牙语玩家开放。
同时新的西班牙语客服团队也在筹划中，南北美操西班牙口音的玩家们将会得到全天候的西班牙语客户服务。目前有一些职位正开放，包括客户服务、质量保证、玩家社区PR、网页制作团队，是的，新的专为为南北美操西班牙口音的玩家们准备的官方网站也正在施工中。
暴雪总裁照例跳出来说些废话，以下是摘录：
在全世界发行和推广wow是我们长期以来坚持的目标。在北美服务器玩耍的西班牙语玩家们早就对这个版本觊觎了许久了，现在我们很高兴能满足他们的要求。
进一步的细节，比如价格啊，到底在哪些拉美国家发行啊等等，我们将会在此版本发行前宣布。当然本地化补丁包下载啊北美服务器的西班牙语玩家帐号转服啊之类你很关心的细节也将在版本发行前宣布。（译者无聊注：反正古巴人民不管说啥语言都玩不上，暴雪和本人都对此表示遗憾）
自2004年11月wow发行以来，很快就成为了最流行的MMORPG游戏，目前全球已有超过1000万付费用户，已经有英、法、德、正宗西班牙语、高丽话、简体和繁体中文等各语言版本，除了这个即将发行的拉美西班牙语版本，我们还有一个俄语版也在制作中。
为了跟上wow用户的持续增长，也为了其它暴雪游戏的开发，我们有大量的工作岗位虚席以待，在下列地址您可查询到我们提供的工作机会，包括了在北美工作的西班牙语客服团队：

好吧，其实下面这个帖子可以对照着看，就知道暴雪为啥会推出拉美人西班牙语版本的wow了。看来这个市场潜力也是巨大的。

Karune:
It's very well know that StarCraft it's a franchise all around the globe, there are different languages versions such as german, french and spanish.
I speak here for the South America fans and players to suggest a better idea than actual voice translation, subtitles.
For years we have been screaming for a correct translations or subtitles of great games but in our own spanish type, wich is very different from the spanish from Spain, in terms of expressions, bad words, the tone, the voices, adjectives, etc.
If you make a simple poll around South America fans of StarCraft and all games in general, you will see how 90% of the gamers actually don't like at all the Spanish from Spain, which usually buy english versions of the game, or if they buy spanish versions of the games it's for one reason only: The story mode of the game, cuz unfortunatelly not all ppl speak and understand english so they have to buy the horrible Spain versions to follow the story.
Yes, we understand about marketing and popularity, Spain it's Europe, and perhaps that means more fans and more market for Blizzard; but seen how much you guys hav been in contact with the worldwide StarCraft community this time, here is our own little (but very interesting) suggestion: to add spanish (and other languages) subtitles but differently from the Spain type and around here there many countries with thounsands of SC fans (Colombia, Venezuela, Peru, Chile, Argentina, Paraguay, Bolivia) and great spanish websites like www.bwla.net
At this very day, i have dozens of friends that plays StarCraft, but untill now many of them haven't played the story mode (single player) cuz having one of the best (if not the best) stories ever made in a video game, it has lots and lots of dialogues and actually makes me sad (yes, that much i love it) no to be able to share and debate with them about the StarCraft General History, and they just don't wanna play the spanish (Spain) version of it cuz IT SUCKS BIG TIME.
Listening to the translation of the units: Marine: Soldado. Firebat: Murciélagos de Fuego. Zealot: Fanático, and about the structures, i don't even wanna go there right now.
Although they're correct, those are literal translations and they don't fit ok at all in comparison to their english versions. The same thing happents with movies around here, we usually get movies with Mexican or Argentinian professional subtitles cuz they're really ok and mostly neutral, they don't use words and expressiones or their countries so everyone in South America can understand, and THAT'S it's and have been the problem with Spain since... ever... they are full of their own expressions which NO OTHER COUNTRY understand.
I know, i have spoken too much but it is for a noble cause. I implore you in behalf of thousands and thousands of gamers (not only StarCraft fans) from South America to be the first gaming company to think a little beyond the regular borders of understanding. I'm sure that actual subtitles are nothig in comparison to all the work that u have to do to make again all the voices of the game in other languages.
Games like Grand Theft Auto have prooved to be very suucesful with their subtitles included (of course they do still have the dreadful Spain spanish).
With many, many thanks.
A StarCraft Fan..
尊敬的Karune:
那个啥，地球人都晓得你们在整个地球联邦都卖星际，还弄了德文法文西班牙文等乱七八糟的外文版，我代表南美所有玩家建议，给俺们贫困地区弄个语言副版本行不？
我们也吵吵这么多年了，你们也该知道了不？俺们是南美西班牙语，跟西班牙土的掉渣的方言不一样！上南美打听打听，我们90%的兄弟们不喜欢西班牙方言，俺们买游戏买两套：英文版的砍人，西班牙方言的看戏！就这我们还极其厌烦糟透了的西班牙方言！
是，西班牙农村买盘的是多，但我们这玩的人也不少啊！好几千人呢！你不是给整个地球人玩游戏么？能不能给俺们做个西班牙语的副版本？
我一群玩星际的哥们，没几个玩剧情的！当一个最好的剧情（好吧，我承认可能不是最好的）在游戏中出现，这些剧情能惹得我眼泪哗哗的，但俺就是不能和弟兄们唠剧情啊！他们也不玩方言版啊！方言版是垃圾啊！
Marine: Soldado. Firebat: Murciélagos de Fuego. Zealot: Fanático, and about the structures
这都是啥，都是啥，都是啥？！
俺们看电影的时候，俺们有墨西哥和阿根廷的专业翻译，俺们不用西班牙的方言！！
我今天废话是多了点，但是是为了更高的品质！！俺求求你们了，跟人家侠盗猎车手学学，人家就有副版本！虽然他们还有可恨的西班牙方言版！
大哥，我啥也不说了
一个对星际有爱的淫~~~~~~~~~
This idea has been noted. No promisses guys, but the idea has been passed along to the production staff.
我们已经注意到你的建议，虽然我不能承诺什么，但是你的建议已经被送到开发部，请静候佳音
