I don't understand the point of having different language voice commands unless you already know the language the people on your ship speak and they all speak the same language.  Picking the language should be on the end of the listener, not the speaker.

I speak English.  If I'm on a crew with someone who speaks Russian and someone who speaks Japanese, what language V-command should the captain use?

You should be able to set a language in preferences that EVERYONE ELSE's v-commands are translated to do that they actually HELP bridge the language gap.  Your V-commands will also automatically be whatever language they've selected.

Definitely this! I hate not having anyway to communicate with someone when they speak a different language.

Well, if devs actually WILL start implementing some localized V- commands, I can help translating them to Polish. ^^

I think a simple drop down menu or two that would add a little flag or text to the player profile would be pretty simple to implement. Matchmaking integration could come later.

Firstly, I meant ONLY translating subtitles, sorry for not being specific about this. Leave the voicepacks alone, just translate the subtitles and, as someone said, make them be chosed on the recieving end instead of sending end.

(Optionally turned on/off in menu) country flags would be FREAKKING AAAAWEEEESOOOOOOME *high voice*

Well this actually can't be done because.... let's just say it's not that Devs don't trust us
... but yeah, they totally don't :P
I mean, they don't let players do the translations because they're afraid we put some vulgar words or anything into translation and later they may have problems with that. That's why it takes forever to do the translations - they actually have to hire legit language-guy to do it for them. Maybe there's a chance for fan-translations with Steam workshop?
Also Devs several times said that they are planning some changes in V-commands, maybe that's also a problem at the moment.

Well then, I can recommend my father - professional and known for really good translations. "Zombie Survival" and "World War Z" are books he translated into Polish and as far as I know, it's considered really damn good.

It would be even better, he'd earn some freaking money for that. :P Therefore, there is a chance that Muse would pay me for playing their game... I like this idea. :P
