Ubi Soft is well-known for translating many of their programs into many different languages. However, translating Chessmaster is a MASSIVE job, even if you only translate the text and leave the audio in English. The amount of text in the program is equivalent to about three paperback novels. There is also about 40 hours of audio. In just about every case of attempting to fully translate Chessmaster, the amount of sales did not justify the cost. However, with Ubi Soft at the helm now, I would say that there is a better chance than ever of seeing Chessmaster in a non-English language. jm
