i have a complaint about this the main characters name is tequila right a strong alcoholic drink and of course a county in jalisco, mexico.
the thing is why name the character a drink (that by law can only be brewed in tequila, jalisco, mexico) and then get the game transalated in spain thats just insulting. Besides there are more gamers in mexico city (yes mexico city only) than in all of spain. i didnt cared about the past games like uc2 because well the characters have weird names but after this i just couldn't take it anymore. microsoft for example traduced gears of war, crackdown, perfect dark and kameo in latin american spanish and i assure you they sold better than if they were traduced in spain. So please get translations in latin america.

Hmm...You make a good point. Hopefully they will do that. If not a lot of people will be disappointed. By the way, welcome to the boards.

This copmlaint is REDICULIOUS why do you find his name insulting ? In the movie Hard Boiled, Chow Yun Fat his name was Tequila, it's just a name like Paul or Tim or whatever.

that STILL makes no sense.
the ONLY thing even CLOSE to referencing ANYTHING "hispanic" is the name Tequila.
now, if say the whole story was based on some Mexican folktale (or even something modern)... and the characters were hispanic/mexican/whatever... then sure...
who gives a RATS butt who translates it... as long as it is translated into something "acceptable".
if a Mexican guy can translate chinese between myself and a chinese FOB... i'm all for it... despite being chinese, i can't speak it very well.
on that note... would you rather have some little chinese dudes (who have never seen any TV or anything outside of Beijing) translate it into spanish for you?

one thing abotu your point of something "acceptable" you may think that sanish from spain is kinda like english from england and american englishbut no they speak in words that are uncomprensible and even use the word milk as a bad word its obvious that you dont speak spanish. and if the little chinesse people you mentioned spoke spanish as the ones i know i would gladly let them translate it

Other Latin American countries like Colombia actually speak proper Spanish though. Which is what the game is translated into. So the translation not only applies to Spain but several other countries as well.
