kalean,
fyranna is a cookie, and i'd like to state that we cookies do ALL of our events in every major language spoken, french, english, and german, we do not "test" in one language, and do not post about "test's" those are done without advertisement prior to the event.
so as cookies we know how hard it is to translate into more then one language, we do it durring the events we host, we use google translate to do it, it's not perfect but we don't exclude anyone based on language at any stage that is publicly announced, though our planning stages are done only in english, the rest of the player base has no idea what we're planning or working on, until we are ready to let everyone outside of cookies know about it.
testing, planning, and things of that type should be done without forum posts or any other forum of in-game notice until the event is ready for everyone of every language. (which is much the same way the offical event team does things)
sure Fyranna can be very blunt and have passion in what they think is right, and that's Fyranna's choice, but the over-all point being made is that as a international game, there needs to be something done for in-game translation, the lack of it does indeed cause issues. as i've already stated, other games already have features like this in place. that should be very high on the dev roadmap to get translations in game.
just a few more dappers from me :)
(please note i'm just stating my point of view, not trying to say anyone's right or wrong)
