After seeing the thread above closed due to the OP asking a question in a different language other than the in-game languages, despite the fact that there were enough people who could answer his question in his language, I think that SE should make a census of languages spoken in each server and post the results to help those chose which server suits them best when it comes to language. It sucks to be a new player and not know where to begin your gaming due to language issues.
