Capitalism Lab is in English language only. The English text used in Capitalism Lab is easy to understand though.

Thanks. A box will be for pre-order version or an electronic version? I'm from Kazakhstan.

Easy to understand? :D

David, there are indeed more Russian-speaking users among the Cap2 fans that You might think of. The thing is, Cap2 Russian version had been done in 2000 by pirates, and I should admit it was not the worst translation of economical terms I've seen, although it still had gaps. Many former students had Your game included in their Economy studies to grasp the overall idea how the big thing of Economy worked. The absolute majority of them worked with the pirated Russian stuff, anyway.
I believe it is true that CapLab will also have 2 ways of development - either You leave it as it is, considering the Russian share unimportant and believing the DRM or whatever measures of protection will prevent piracy (which I do doubt)...
or You check if any of publishers would take a look at the idea of issuing a fully translated licensed version of the game that was a hit a decade ago and now has the chance to perform a spectacular comeback.

Times have changed in the CIS and people look for a possibility to get a license of a game that is worth it. Please, don't waste it for the Russian-speaking customer share :)

I also think that localization to the various languages can only help to sell the game.
