Hello,

I've noticed quite a big difference in the english game manual vs. for example the dutch version (but also many other languages) in being much less complete than the english one. It seems that the english manual is constantly updated with all the game changes that are being made, but unfortunately i cannot say the same for the non-english manuals.
I'll make a bold statement : if you read a non-english manual you will know 60% of the knowledge that you would know if you would read the english manual, so it's not like they differ only on a few details, no the difference is much bigger than that.
For example : i use the dutch version, and it already happened several times, that i ask a question in the help forum, and other players respond to me saying that i should read the manual more carefully because it supposedly is all there. Well, that's only because i read the dutch manual, while the information I asked only exists in the english manual and so I couldn't have known. Since then ofcourse, i only read the englisch manual anymore...
So i think the translators still have a lot of work to do...

best regards,
Eagle

If we make the full version of the Game Manual in all languages, then we'd have to find some other way to keep the non-English-speaking-world disadvantaged.
(Before you make angry replies, I'm just totally kidding. In fact, I think this should be a high priority. I had no idea that there were any serious discrepancies in the different language versions. Thanks for pointing this out.)

Don't ask what sort of Chunks they are, you probably don't want to know. Blowing Chunks since Season 4!
