Because the Polish people usually do translate through companies many of thier movie and games into thier own language. It is an independent company doing the voice over; with PB permission or whoever, to sell the game there more.

And if Atari UK sees that Poland's fans love the add-on -then Atari UK may release too. Making many also from the USA since we can almost understand all the British words and slang 95% the same English language.

I dont think they ever use British slang in games. Unless its set in Britain of course...

The fan-made version is in progress right now. Let's hope the publishers have not been discouraged already, otherwise... On the other hand, wasn't the fan-made version for the original was out six months before the actual release?

I remember there are British-specific words (like lift versus elevator) even in the North American version. Can't make an example from the game on top of my head.
