This frequency of English localization issues is unacceptable

I've seen a few threads requesting additional languages to be added to the game's localisation. I also remember it being touched upon once or twice during interviews and Live Letters - though there's so many that hunting down specific questions is rather time consuming and difficult.

Incidentally, quite recently Elder Scrolls Online expanded its localisation to account for Spanish speaking players. That'd be something that FFXIV would probably benefit from doing as well.

Sadly, I think they will never do it.

The reason is the amount of text, dialogues (with variations on answers in some) for all expansions.... And beside that, they always was focused more in bringing more things to the game than to revise old content.

And I remember all those pools and questions and mentionings by Yoshi-P about this. They always put languages in second place and now this is not even in a secondary place, but I think they forgot all about it.

All that remains for us is to use addons that make translations for us...

It feels so bad when we have to appeal to a third-party stuff when devs just throw requestings like this to the trash can... =/
