    My reason is that I am Czech and I know that people here have 6+ years of English in school, yet barely anyone speaks the language worth a damn. Why? Because the broad attitude is that speaking English is not important, everything is always translated for you eventually. Not everyone will reach native-like fluency but learning to understand the language is not hard, you just have to try, just a little, instead of expecting everything to be dubbed and/or subtitled for you.

    To counterpoint, we already have issues with people joining up for duties while not understanding how game works and not speaking common languages (I have only english marked and still meet them). There is a reason on EU we have the meme of "F debuff" for French that dont speak english at all and underperform. (To be clear, there are absolutely cracked french player that i know, however its just hard to ignore when you roll into a stanceless marauder that doesnt reply to anything and only says "merci" after getting carried through the whole dungeon).

    Same reason why i dont really push for my own nationality localisation (Polish), despite having a not negligable player count. The ability to speak a foreign language is a sort of filter, while its not the most refined, it definately makes the experience of everyone involved better.
