This request is meant to support people who have difficulties with understanding the tutorial.
Ask yourself, how many times - when you have been an advisor - someone with poor english knowledge has asked for help?
Is poor english a reason to exclude people from playing? NO it isn't. PlaneShift is meant for everyone and not for those who are fluent in english.
All beginning is hard, think back, if there had been a tutorial level when you started playing PS, would you have passed it or would you have given up, because you lacked the language skills?
We have as far as I know 2 or 3 german speaking guilds, we also have a french speaking guild and I think I have heard of an italian or spanish speaking guild too...
Does that mean
a) All german/french/spanish/italian speaking players are in those guilds? - NO, a lot of non native speakers are in international guilds, because those fit their RP more or for whatever reason
b) Those people speak their native language in mainchat? - Maybe, it has happened in the past that some french people spoke french in main chat, but after a polite nudge they at least tried to speak english.
c) Those people get excluded from RP's and GM events? - Heck NO! As far as GM events go, they are meant for everyone, not only for those who are fluent in english (lets take Kezar as an example. At the court he was a witness and even tho he apologized for his not so good english he was very well understandable!
). Keep supporting those who are not good at English and you eventually will have a good time with them too.
So, all in all the translations are meant to
a) Support people to get started.
b) Not exclude people from the game because of their language skills.
c) Help them learn english
And anyways English PS is more helpful: people will learn English playing (I'm doing this too... When I joined PS the first time I barely knew how to greet and how to say "How're you?".)
