Oh, interesting you say this, because NORMAllY, it is vice versa !
I guess you feel good with ANY game as long as it remains in the English language - why bother with the small, unimportant, uninteresting, tiny language-islands of so small, really unimportant so-called "countries" like France, Spain, Poland, Germany, Hungary, or even ANY african languge ?
Sorry, but did you read my post at all?
People, who develop the games, don't translate the games. Even if they do understand and speak other languages fairly well, translating whole texts is a different story. All the more as customers who speak said other language won't be happy if they buy a game at full price and get a bad translation for their money.
So, translations are made and should be made by experts who have the knowledge and vocabulary.
Now, while these experts translate, the developers themselves can work on other stuff. That may be bug fixes or may be new content for an expansion. If they don't work on anything while the game is translated, the translation won't arrive any sooner but all the people who can play the game in the original language have to wait longer to get new content. And the company would delay the development of their own next game.
So what would be the advantage for the people who are waiting for the translation if the developers wouldn't work on an expansion? I see none. Only disadvantages for the people who speak the original language of the game. Even the other customers would have disadvantages in the end because an expansion that is developed later will take even longer to be translated into other languages.
