Reason for not allowing simplified Chinese or is it simply prejudice?

It’s part of the Chinese gov approval process of any game to not have anything outward facing other than Chinese. You can’t even give options for any language selection. So unless there is a 3rd party hack for it, no, there most likely is no English in China. quote from a game designer.

Anyway in the same thread,

open the file folder for World of Warcraft and open the WTF folder>Config>change all “zhCN” to “enUS” I live in the US but I change my text and audio to mandarin chinese all the time using this method. make sure to SAVE after changing the code. then, open the retail version of WoW in the RETAIL folder. Launch Wow and see if it worked :smiley:

The Config.wtf has,

SET portal “EU”
SET textLocale “enUS”
SET audioLocale “enUS”

maybe try

SET portal “EU”
SET textLocale “zhCN”
SET audioLocale “zhCN”

have no idea if this will work. The client could download the required files. It does nothing for me. The game turns it back too.

SET portal “EU”
SET textLocale “enUS”
SET audioLocale “enUS”

The Chinese client is different from everyone elses and could be behind the rest in version. Even so some people got the english client working on French servers. You can try downloading the chinese client, not very hopeful about it working. I would give the US client a go. Just try SET portal “EU” in the config.
