Editorial recommendation: French + Spanish first
Both have official Blizzard language support and dedicated forums. Spanish must keep European and Latin American variants explicit.
Next expedition
Best candidates for the first expansion once a native terminology reviewer and repeat readership are secured.
French
Français
fr
Why it belongs on the roadmap
Blizzard lists French as a supported WoW language and maintains a dedicated forum with a Classic section.
Launch gate
A native editor must review established spell, class, zone, and lore terminology before indexing any French page.
Spanish
Español
es-ESes-419
Why it belongs on the roadmap
Blizzard lists both European and Latin American Spanish and maintains a dedicated European forum with a Classic community.
Launch gate
The portal must choose and label regional variants instead of silently mixing EU and Latin American terminology.
Watch camp
Officially supported communities worth measuring before a full archive is promised.
Brazilian Portuguese
Português (Brasil)
pt-BR
Why it belongs on the roadmap
Brazilian Portuguese is listed as a supported game language, and Blizzard hosts a Portuguese community forum with Classic threads.
Launch gate
Brazilian and European Portuguese expectations must be scoped explicitly before a translation workflow begins.
Italian
Italiano
it
Why it belongs on the roadmap
Italian is an official WoW language with a dedicated Blizzard forum and visible Classic community threads.
Launch gate
A native terminology owner and repeat readership signal are required before maintaining a full archive.
Separate realm plan
Regional editions that need their own sources, moderation, publishing habits, and operations.
Russian
Русский
ru
Why it belongs on the roadmap
Russian is an official WoW language with a dedicated Blizzard forum and a substantial Classic discussion section.
Launch gate
A separate native moderation, sourcing, and operational plan is required; an automated mirror would not be responsible.
Korean
한국어
ko
Why it belongs on the roadmap
Korean is an official regional WoW language with its own Blizzard forum and publishing ecosystem.
Launch gate
Regional sources, native editorial review, platform habits, and time-zone operations need a dedicated launch plan.
Traditional Chinese
繁體中文
zh-Hant-TW
Why it belongs on the roadmap
Traditional Chinese is listed for Taiwan and has a dedicated regional Blizzard forum.
Launch gate
The Taiwan source ecosystem and native terminology require a separately staffed edition, not a machine-translated copy.
Community language signal
The current leaders stay hidden until you decide, reducing bandwagon pressure on the first choice.

Anonymous by design
No name, email, account, comment, or IP address is attached to a ballot. The random key is persisted only in this browser, sent solely to derive a one-way hash, and never stored in raw form.
A priority signal—not a market survey
A new browser can vote again. Results therefore guide editorial validation only; they do not prove unique users, market size, Blizzard plans, or a launch date.
No shallow machine-translation archive
AI may draft translation, but native terminology review, source verification, hreflang, correction ownership, and an editor responsible for that edition are mandatory before indexing.
