Is an Orc and Orc or an Ork??

Post by bringoutyourdead »

Someone wants to change the German Client Orc race to Ork..

Is this valid in game?
Going to http://eu.battle.net/wow/de/game/race/

I see Blizzard using Orc.

This is what I found, A few years ago, regarding translations..

I doubt, Blizzard changes the race name, after 10 years..

Ork, however, is a commonly used name, even in English., and is probably the correc translation in German. But the language pack (as of 2012) says Orc.

In Warhammer (FRP and 40K), Orcs are named Orks, in English..
Doing census mainly on Draenor; Raluf - Nimsay - Lusmo - Quixx - Sosyan - Garthog - Trubin - Zalistra - Zesmi and Djaang

Thanks that is what I thought.

Even though it might be incorrect in Deutch.. Blizzard rules.
