This is something I've started seeing more recently, and just wondering how prevalent it is, and what your thoughts are on this.

Even though I only select one language setting when I queue in DF, I sometimes get in a group with 1 or 2 people who do not understand that language at all.

By checking the Party List, I can see they have not selected it as a language they understand, and they cannot communicate with the group either.

Usually 6/8 people or 3/4 people will, indeed, have chosen that language as either the client language or one they understand. But the others will not have it chosen as one they understand. So, why did they select it when they queued for DF?

It's kind of tough for the group, because almost always, no one else in the group can understand them, so I have to translate. (Because I can speak their language).
(and 99% of the time, they don't even try to use the auto-translate feature...)

It's especially troublesome when, right before a boss, a DPS or healer says "hold on, be right back" and the tank and other player cannot understand that and begin to pull the boss.

Among my LS and FC mates, I've never seen anyone queue for a language they cannot understand.

Is this something that people do? Do they do it to get into a dungeon faster or is there some other reason?

And what are your thoughts on this?

Or is there some mechanic to the DF language settings when queuing that I am failing to understand?

Furthermore, why do you think we have the option to queue in DF for languages that we have not selected as languages we can understand (in the profile settings)?
