I am big fan of capcom's games specially Resident 
Evil
, and i have one question that why you don't
add arabic language to your games at least arabic
subtitle to give a chance to arabian players to
understand the conversations and the stories of the games.

Waiting for your replay
Thank you

I didn't know CAPCOM didn't include arabic dialog or subtitles to their games. I know SONY open a division in India. Hopefully other companies follow this trend as well.

I don't know anything about Arabic language games specifically, but in general localization costs on games (especially ones with a lot of text) can be quite high, so it mostly boils down to "will we sell enough copies of the game in that region to cover our localizing costs?" 


If it doesn't look like we sell enough units in that region, our hope is that local fans also speak one of the languages we do translate the games into (those being Japanese, English, French, Spanish, German, and Italian).


best,


Seth
