Wouldn't homonymity come into play quite often? Also different meanings. That would render all (most?) translations moot (lets say in english version you have: a kitten, heels, lipstick, calendar/clock; word guessed: cougar, do italian/french/spanish.. use that word for what it is in english?) Good luck though

what i'm guessing is that the word will be different in every language...no? instead of translation is more like 'porting' game into different languages....dunno

Yes, in Italian if you have the word "cane", we simply translate it into "dog" for English, for example (that is only have to translate the words)
The rule of game is that you have to guess the word that combines the four images :)

Yes, thats why I said it's more about 'porting' (lack of better word)....probably involving image changes as well, whatever it takes to make sense in another language.
So...a lot of work :)

exactly, because if you look the original game, has several languages but they all have their link with the image :)

Cool game.

would be a good idea, but I do not know if I can put it on the store , because I haven't the permission of the real creators of the game .. and I would not end up in something illegal

EDIT: I have added the italian and english trial version of game :)

Re: [Announce] 4 Pics 1 Word (N9)

Damn i have been working on my own version of the game :/
