Ahem,

Johnny Depp as Tonto.

First GOG can as others say, only sell the languages they are given by the publishers. They are in reality only the store, not the butchers putting the games together.

Also...
I feel a lot of English speakers would suffer if it was "only in (enter another language here)", as so many English speakers only speak the one language. Including myself.
I know of a couple who have lived in Spain for nearly four years and he speaks English, Gaelic and a little Spanish, whilst she speaks English and Spanglish.
I never hold much hope for the English on the world markets. We along with the Americans and Australians get confused by the subtle changes in the English language across the world, let alone another new language on top of that.

That's hardly just an English language thing. The Germans have the same problem in Germany, or at least they did until recently. And don't get me started on the Chinese.

English is becoming a worldwide language, for better or worse, right or wrong.

With current economic shift in the future we probably need to learn to speak Mandarin and/or Cantonese.....

It's just as much about media as it is business. And most Asian countries teach English for business anyway.

Not going to help you guys after Primates take over though...

YARP!

Interesting - i was born not far from Dundee myself.
...and yes, you're quite right on the film, though at a guess, would your brothers specific accent had an effect on his reception? (northerners on the whole at the time were more welcome than others and as my own family didnt really give a shite about the flick, its an angle ive wondered about a bit).

Why NOT only Englais??

My favorite is in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home.
When Kirk & co. are flying a stolen Klingon ship and encountering a whaling ship on the sea, one of the whale hunters shouts in very clumsy, unnatural sounding Finnish "what the hell was that?".

Of course that isn't the only mistake in that. To the best of my knowledge, there have never been Finnish whaling ships.
I wonder where the makers of STIV ever got that idea. Of course, 99,9% of the viewers never notice anything wrong with that scene.

Or, worse still, somebody else altogether. I can't think of an example - because these things are probably specified on contracts to which I can't have any access - but I reckon that the original translators might own the rights to some localizations. Tracking down these people might prove difficult, provided they still live. I am pretty sure that re-localizations are not entirely out of the question, but organizing that would probably be up to the publishers, whose accountants could probably bet their asses that the re-localizations will never make up for the expense.
