That "if they want to" was actually for the French part. Sorry for the confusion :)

Oh and to the part with "mein Herr". We actually don't say sir, but we say the rank of the officer.
Like:
You say: Yes, sir.
We say: Yes, Herr Feldwebel.

Same in the British Army. Well, kind of. NCOs are always referred to by their rank, but COs can be either called their rank or simply 'Sir', depending on the manner.

I would like the Ostheer to speak German. It's sad that in the German version of the Game the Americans and the British speak German. Some games let the player choose a language, yet, unfortunately, CoH does not belong to these games.

Be that as it may, what is true is that there are many people in Germany who do not speak English well. As concerns me, I love English, and although I had English lessons from fifth to thirteenth grade, most of what I have learned I have learned by myself. My English is not perfect, needless to say, but I keep trying to improve.

I hate the procedure in Germany that both all films and series are dubbed, even though the number of those who would like to listen to the original English speakers keeps growing. With respect to films and series on DVDs, I always switch to English if English is the original language.

Think of all older people than 30, they didn't learn English much, so they will look movies on German, otherwhise they can't understand 'em. And if there're people, who want to watch the movies in English, they change the audio to English and turn on German subtitles, if wished. (Like me.)
I'm 18 and I learned English since the 5th class.

Many (maybe nearly all) people in my age are able to speak basic English to communicate.

Haha I hope we get Finns, Romanians and Italians talking their respective languages  :P

Would there be Romainian and Finnish versions of CoH? Italian I would imagine but how many languages you recon the game got tranlated for?

I honestly think the goal in mind should be making the Ostheer (and Soviets) speak accented English as the vanilla factions do. Given the vast amount of sound files needed, this may or may not be a goal that can be accomplished, but if there is an effort to create custom unit speech files, it should attempt to mirror the vanilla factions.

If only so I know when I'm getting artied.

Sad part is, is many German's speak English better then many American's...that ghetto talk is rather annoying when you walk up and someone asks you for something and you have no idea what it is... even though they are speaking 'English.'

Haha, ye, true. My English isn't perfect, but I see English people and Americans which are speaking English more worse than me. :P

All german factions must speak just their language...not english with another accent.This is so annoying...

Listening russians speaking their language in game is so sweet.I don't understand what they say,but with time i will learn many words...and that for sure.

Also all who say about people over 30 years to be unable to learn new language...are bad informed i say...to be kind speaking...i don't want to insult them.

My mother learned another language at 50 years,and i,also learned english,and i will continue to learn all is need all my life.

Many people from this world know just their language,and this is a sad thing...and many times insult people who speak their language,but make mistakes.Anyone who try to suppose,is very probably to make mistakes...because cannot be compared situations when one person made that...or know exactly that...and another "think" about that(suppose)

I said, people, who are round about older than 30, >didn't< learn English much. I didn't say, that they aren't able to learn it.
