Languages necessary to be translated to?

[Ceadmondo]

Say I finished a game update and i want to reach a larger market, what languages should I translate my game into? I already know that turkish and German seem to be the most translated too languages on the site but I need recommendations.

Thank you!

Take an AAA game, and look at the generic. You'll see in what languages the game have been translated ; generally less than a dozen and it's globally the same language whatever the game.
It's not cheap to translate a game, therefore they target the biggest markets, to be sure that it will increase their sell, and not just their cost. And it don't change much that you are making an adult game. Globally speaking, you don't come to adult video games if you don't already play video games. Therefore, the languages with the highest number of people playing "regular games" will also be the languages with the highest number of people playing adult games.

I'm trying to aim more for the Euro market since they are less likely to bootleg the game and I already have the English speaking world in my belt, I have checked the biggest markets as you said and China came first and due to there censorship on porn I believe no one would support me and beside the payment handlers should be taken into consideration for instance turkey has no paypal so most likely they are going to bootleg it and therefore won't waste time on that language, next the US which speaks English and after that Japan which is easy to translate too, dozens of people speak Japanese online, next the Euro Union with Germany, France Italy and spain and after that Korea.

I think I'll do German, French (which I understand) with Italian and Spanish and then lastly Japanese using Deepl and this shall make sure it get spread by bots on adult pirate sites with other languages.

Thanks for the idea.
