It also comes across as condescending when someone's response is always this other language has the right answer but you don't know it because you can't speak it.

Each to their own but I personally wouldn't consider it to be 'condescending', especially when many people in the current era are fluent in multiple languages. That isn't true of everybody, though it doesn't strike me as fair to expect players on a global forum to keep quiet and not bring up other localisations for added clarity.

It's also an established trend around these parts, given that it isn't unusual for the New Year's messages to be discussed from the position of every available localisation. The same happens when new patch trailers go live and discussion threads are made to interpret what is going on.

Its not the fact that they are bringing up a translation as evidence, its when they repeatedly bring up translations as a counterpoint to several different viewpoints.

I think its also the fact that using it to say your wrong is sort of condescending, if someone uses a translation to say, hey here's something to think about its all good, but when right and wrong come into it, it does become sort of hard to argue against when you can't even get the full context of the untranslated text to properly argue against.

Many people being fluent in multiple languages doesn't mean everyone and it doesn't mean everyone knows the same languages. Someone could know English and German or English, Danish and French but if the most accurate lore comes from a language they don't know, it is still disadvantageous.

Edit: By your own previously stated logic it is condescending that people are repeatedly dismissing the English translation when a lot or lore fans are in the UK, US, New Zealand and Australia.
