Onkster Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Hi all, I'm meant to be working, so I haven't got the game in front of me, but I know you guys will know the answer to this. I'm thinking of taking my wife to Rome for her 30th B'day, but my Italian's very, very rusty (last done any at school when I was 16, now 28), so I need to learn and learn fast, so I've come up with a plan... If I start a new game of Football Manager (with an Italian team for authenticity purposes) can I set the language in FM2009 to Italian? If so is the option in preferences or is it only going to be do able by a downloadable pack. Also has anyone used it and if so is it any good and am I likely to learn anything from it? For those thinking there has got to be a better way to learn a language I'm hoping to do a course as well. Onkster Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nomis07 Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 I can't open the links in work, but here is a Google LINK to some sites with Italian language packs. You download the pack and add it to FM, I did it with a German language pack in FM08 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevicus Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 You want to learn itallian by playing FM? So when you are in Italy, are you going to order your dinner using footballing terms? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping some Italian from it, but will do a course as well. The trouble with courses etc they teach in a very set way, by using something like FM I'm hoping to learn some more phrases and words that I won't get from them. Although I have to admit ordering food I'll be ok at getting Parma ham (hearing the groans ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike7077 Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 You don't need to speak Italian to have a good holiday in Rome, to be honest. Though, if you want to speak it while you're there, that's a different story. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

david22 Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 You don't need to know much italian, half the Italians in Rome speak English anyway I went with my girlfriend last summer.. amazing place to go though, and its nicer if you learn a bit of Italian to be able to order food and stuff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovingthegreen Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 I'm using a UK copy here and unfortunately English is the only available language. For whatever reason I can change to French or Spanish (or U.K. English) on my American version (Worldwide Soccer Manager). Even though Spanish is a strong second language here in the U.S. and French is somewhat spoken in Louisiana and northern New England (near Quebec), I am very surprised that English is the only language available with the U.K. version of the game.

seagull84 Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Hi, I'm English, but live in Italy and speak (pretty decent) Italian. I play FM (Steam copy) in Italian to improve and brush up on my linguistic skills, and I must say it has been fantastic for this. I highly recommend it as an educational tool Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, england is way better than america, despite my above complaints of this country (since i am in fact irish and living outside of my home nation), I would choose england over america everyday. Its practically the same country anyway, just america is bigger and there are more stabbings, and i could not live in a country where football is so unwatchable, isolated away from the luxury of MOTD on a saturday night.
