With all the trouble currently occurring in the Arabic countries up north you would think corporates would tread gently when discussing issues directly related to these countries. Well Shuhei Yoshida obviously did not get that email and managed to upset a few Arabic gamers.
When asked via twitter if the PlayStation 4 would support Arabic, Yoshida simply answered
@Macintosh009 sorry, no
— Shuhei Yoshida (@yosp) September 2, 2013
This set off a string of upset tweets demanding why not to which Yoshida then responded
@nadr_alwjoood @Macintosh009 sorry, I meant not in the immediate future. We are aware of the request.
— Shuhei Yoshida (@yosp) September 3, 2013
In the end it really is just a simple case of people from different languages trying to converse in English. Granted Yoshida’s initial response was maybe a little curt but it was in response to the following tweet which you can’t say was overly friendly to start with
@yosp Yoshida ps4 support Arabic I want a satisfying answer
— ~ ??????? ‘/ (@Macintosh009) September 2, 2013
So I think this storm in a teacup can be put to rest now. The PlayStation 4 will not support Arabic on release but it will be available in Arabic-speaking countries.
I also don’t think this is a great surprise as the PlayStation 3 doesn’t currently support Arabic even though a petition with over 45 000 signatures exists requesting it. On the one hand I think the written Arabic language is a beautiful thing that would be a nice addition to the console yet I can understand the complexity of adding a language that doesn’t follow the same rules as most Western or Eastern languages.

In all honesty the fucktard who sent the first tweet was a bit rude. Language barriers aside, even the response was hardly noteworthy. People brewing bullshit on twitter just looking for a way to spend their day.
Now dealing with the language/cultural barriers, both participants are from vastly different backgrounds, what might seem as rude for the one is completely a non issue for the other. With this in mind you can understand the possibilities of a complete breakout of a silly issue.
Sony has every right to decide what and how they develop software on THEIR console. Yes ideally I would love an afrikaans pack for my PS but I aint going to troll a head exec to get it done. You go around the right channels rather than having a hissy fit on the internet. Yes They had a petition and they got 45000 signatures. Thats rad, thats how stuff is supposed to work. Doesnt necessarily mean you are entitled to getting what ever you want just because of the fact. Its a product/service you as the consumer buy, if you were not happy with the product why did you purchase it? Fucksake.

Arabic is actually a very course language so I wouldn’t be surprised if it was just a translation mix-up of how he would have phrased the question in Arabic but done via Google translate or something. It does sound dickish though. When looking at the phrasing of the question and the answer I thought it was curt and very precise and cudo’s for actually responding.
That said, unfortunately that part of the world, like South Africa, is largely devoid of tolerance for anything which can be even remotely construed as a slight against their various cultures.

Just a little note. Arabic is a second gen world language (not one of the top 3 and official but close enough to be called sort of a world language and actually is in some places.) where afrikaans gets spoken a bit in Namibia,South Africa and a lot in Australia (see what I did there 😛 ). Still I would love us starting a petition cause it is one of the most expressive languages out there. 😛

45 000 (even 90 000) isn’t nearly enough to justify the development expense this early in the development cycle.
Went through that exercise with a small set of 300 short phrases and was a nightmare.
They will have issues with the smallest fonts representing characters correctly and there is various dialects and combined with technical terms you find a translation that is understood in Turkey is unreadable in the northern parts of Africa.
And since 80% of the games are only going to be available in English French or Spanish what is the point?

I’ve noticed that if you ask Yosp nicely, he’ll go above and beyond to accommodate you, “be a dick”, and Shuhei Yoshida brings his own brand of trolling. Had that Mcintosh chap asked nicely, Yosp would have probably written a long tweet about the localisation process, and gone to great lengths to explain the problems they face with bringing Arabic to any console.
As for Arabic itself, it’s a pretty cool language though, and if I had the time I would gladly learn it. Sadly, I am but one banana…
seriously
