Languages not translated: Akkadian (Babylon), Amharic (Ethiopia), Arabic, Irish Gaelic (Celts), Egyptian Arabic, Medieval Greek (Byzantine), Hindi, Khmer, Mali (likely Mandinka), Mayan (likely Yucatec), Mohawk (Native America), Mongolian, Nahuatl (Aztec), Carthaginian (Phoenician?????), Quechua (Inca), Sumerian, Turkish, and Zulu
Languages translated: Mandarin Chinese, Dutch, French, German, Modern Greek (except for one line), Plattdeutsch (Holy Roman), Japanese, Korean (nearly done), Latin (nearly done), Persian (nearly done), Portuguese, Russian, Spanish (except for one line), Norwegian,
Of the ones not translated, the easiest to find speakers are the two Arabics, Hindi, and Turkish.
As for the others, I'm not sure we could find speakers for those. Maybe Khmer and Irish Gaelic can be found, possibly also Mongolian
So, basically the toughest languages to translate are the Native Americans and African languages (Looks like we have to go to the source
)
Ancient languages also pretty tough, I still have no idea what the Carthage units are speaking. Phoenician or some form of Arabic????

There is a another thread where someone did Irish Gaelic...Seems like it was recent.
No , I was talking of the brits, but as you speak their language ( well, mostly), I think you are included ... but you atleast can say that weren't americans that invented that lazy language
I don't think the Brits invented English. They just assembled all of the parts of languages of people that they met in wars, the Crusades, being conquered, and whatever, and added in some Latin and served it with tea.
I think there were only a few phrases done, not all. I suppose that I could take a peek if I have some time, but my spelling is a little rusty... I know there are other Gaeilge speakers here on the forums. Maybe they have the time and better spelling than I do.

Does anyone have the list of languages of the civs?
Someone might have responded to you. I think, however, that the Holy Romans speak Ripuarian because it's a Franconian dialect and it's spoken where Charlemagne was from.
EDIT: Now I have listened to it. It's not Ripuarian. As a native Dutch speaker I understand it for the full 100%, but I still don't understand what language they speak. It's probably a variant of Middle Dutch, but it's different from the Middle Dutch I'm used to.
EDIT2: It's Plattdeutsch? Well, it's very polished Plattdeutsch then, because it's very clear language to me.
I've also heard a Dutch unit saying 'En route!' once. I'm surprised it's not among them, because I'm almost 100% positive they say it.

No idea. I don't even recognise Semitic in it and Phoenician was a language very close to Hebrew. I guess some Berber language?

Edits made(mind you these are literal and rough, since I am tired as hellRay said:
)Also, "at" isn't Latin...the Latin form is "ad" which means to, towards, or near.
I'll get to work on Turkish when I get home from work today...
A couple I can think of off the top of my head
"Emirlerinizdeyiz." = "We are at your command."
"Buyurun." = "At your service/Go ahead." (Kind of ambiguous)
"Tamam." = "Okay."
"Harekete hazir." = "Ready to act." / "Ready for action"
I'll have to listen to the rest. I'm a little embarrassed that I can't think of more since I play Suleyman more than any other leader in the game.
Ottoman Order 0 - 9
0) "Bas ustune" (Literally "[Let it be] on the head / mind.") (think about it.)
1) "Cikabilirsiniz" ("You can go.")
2) "Mutlaka" (Ambiguous. Can be "Necessarily." or "Of course.")
3) "Uzerindeyiz" ("We're on it.")
4) "Sorun yok." ("No problem.")
5) "Oldu. Benim." [I'm not sure if I'm hearing this right or not] ("It is done. Mine.")
6) "Tamam." (colloquially "OK.", but literally means "Done", "Finished", or "Complete")
7) "Devam ediyoruz." ("We continue.")
7) "Haydi harekata gecelim." ("Come on let's go to action.")
8) "Bize guvenebilirsiniz." ("You can trust us.")
Ottoman Select 0 - 8
0) "Tum burada ve her altinda." (Literally "All here (present) and everyone under (accounted for).")
1) "Emirlerinizdeyim." ("I am at your orders.")
2) "Emirlerinizi alayim." ("Let me have your orders.")
3) "Emirlerinizi bekliyorum." ("I await your orders.")
4) "Harekete hazir." ("Ready for action.")
5) "Plan nedir?" ("What's the plan?")
6) "Buyurun." (This is ambiguous. It can be "Help yourself." or "Go ahead.")
7) "Emirleriniz." ("Your orders.")
8) "Size ne gerekiyor?" ("What do you need?"; what's a little strange about this one is that it looks almost as though it's being addresses to many people through the agency of one, like "What do (all of) you need?". Addressed solely to one person (formally), I'd normally expect this to be "Ne gerekiyorsunuz?")
NOTE: In Turkish (like many languages) addressing another person as "you" formally is said identically to the way you would address a group of people as "you".

Yes, it's really nice old fashioned clear Plattdeutsch, which you won't hear often nowadays.
And I think this is why you could understand it to 100% as a native Dutch speaker.
But don't ask me why Firaxis made this the Holy Roman Empire's language.
Well, it's an old German language, so it works, I guess.

Atleast the speaker is a portuguese( in fact i can even say from what region of the country he is and in what univ he studied just from the way he talks
Universidade de Coimbra? Não acredito que seja da de Lisboa...
In resume, I think the voice actor probably had a good laugh with some of this
Oh, and Firaxis, next time you want portuguese translations of in game stuff, try to ask someone that plays the game
I think we shouldn't bother too much, at least it wasn't a Brazilian that they chose (like Rockstar did with the Portuguese in GTA IV, it would be like having everyone in Liberty City speaking with a deep British accent...) and they actually got a lot of things right.
Even João's personality is accurate in the sense that's he was an insane REXer (if you can call the Discoveries that)... Izzy's personality, OTOH, is completely off. She was as much of a zealot as the next guy, back in the day (in the XVI century, that is
)!If you look at other strategy games, for example in Victoria II, they even misspelled "Portuguese" as "Portugese", so yeah, considering how careless other have been, Firaxis actually deserves a pretty good grade in this!
The only thing missing is them putting the Portuguese in their vanilla games, not always in the last expansion...

Yup, Coimbra ... ( and speaking in english due to forum rules :/ ) , and most likely he is from somewhere between Oporto and Braga ( the base accent is clearly northern but it is not from th Beiras or from Trás os Montes ... )Universidade de Coimbra? Não acredito que seja da de Lisboa...

They got it right in EU3 , though ...I don't want to get much in History lessons, but getting D. João II accurate in a land based game like Civ IV is ( if thy had really implemented the maritime trade lanes in BtS like they state in the manual, things would be diferent ) is impossible. Crazy REXer would fit far better in D. João III and his colonization of Brazil
Same for Izzy ... Civ IV Izzy looks like Charles V or Philip II soul trapped in a woman's body

ಠ_ಠ
I'm from Porto, he really sounds like Coimbra spot on, at least IMO.
I often argue against these stereotypes, but considering he didn't really accent things like we do, and that Braga isn't that much different from here, I'd say that while he might have been some time here, he probably did spent most of his life in Coimbra.
Spoiler :
I mean, not to Those crazy Paradox Swedes

How is it stated in the manual? Not like I read it
As for the king, it's fine, he arguably was more important than the third (this comes to mind) and it doesn't really deviate far from the truth while keeping the in-game Portuguese playable. D. Afonso Henriques wasn't a king during our Golden Age and at least João II was actually a Portuguese king, unlike Civ3's Henry the Navigator (but yeah, considering that France's leader was Joane D'Arc, I wouldn't think much about it
).Sure, he might care a little too much about how his nails when in the diplo screen and not look half as badass like in the pictures of him (he personally stabbed nobles who were conspiring against him, so we was no Gandhi), but still, like mentioned before, considering how overlooked this matter is often handled, Firaxis certainly did its history homework in this sense.
EU3? Is it any good? I got Victoria because it's more contemporary and because I've heard nice things about its economic system, but frankly I was quite unimpressed by the gameplay... maybe it's just because I'm too used to Civ, I don't know...

Dunno ... his accent definitely has something of that area and it definitely isn't a "pure" Coimbra one. I concede that it might be the other way around ( mostly Coimbra and some powders of Oporto ), but his accent is clearly a mix of those two IMHO .I have family in both areas, so I know the two accents pretty well
Spoiler :
Yup, D. João II was hardly a Gandhi ( in fact he killed one of his cousins by his own hands due to treason ) and it is not a bad choice of leader. I was just stating that his Civ IV persona has more to do with the third of his name than with himselfHow is it stated in the manual? Not like I read it

On the trade lanes ... well, if you care to look in the manual ( as I'm a nice guy , I'll even link it's pdf version
) in page 50, you will see on the workboat shortcuts a "Build trade route" . There was some talk before BtS came out on this feature and it was suposed to be a necessary improvement for intercontinental trading , needed astro and it could be blocked out if a enemy unit was in there. (Un)fortunately that never came out ( I strongly suspect that the AI was completely unable to tackle it and therefore they took it out ) In fact there are some more stuff that it is in the manual and that never got out ...the more proeminent are the active espionage mission "Kill spy" ( kills all spies in the iew range of the spy used ) and the passive espionage mission "Spies Cannot Enter Our Borders" ( the name says it all ), that IMHO were considered OP / the AI didn't knew how to use.EU3 is a completely diferent beast from Civ IV. It's economical/scientific model is a complete farce, even for civ standarts, the way that it handles warand diplo is far above any of the civ games IMHO ... and it is heaily tilted to roleplay history. In spite of that it snowballs hard ( they normally refer to France in EU3 forums as Big Blue blob ( BBB for friends ) due to it's tendency to eat everything near it and becoming what Civ V players call a carpet o'doom
) and if you get a good start ( especially as a Euro country ) , there is little that can stop you ...Utenlok
