    Learning languages isn't a matter of luck. It's a matter of effort.

    I didn't learn English because I spent money on it. I started learning it by playing games in English when localizations didn't even exist, and then improved it by making an effort. Maybe you should too. Gaming isn't definitely the only experience that would be improved by that effort.

    Why should SE translate it to english so you can enjoy it and not to Spanish (or korean, chinese, italian, portugesse, etc...) so others can too? SE resources would be better placed if they just made their games in their native language, right?
    No, they would be better placed in making the game better, bigger, and with a wider/stronger marketing.

    PS: I'm Italian, and as an Italian I am, and I will always be against localizations in my language. Having worked on localization (for Anime) in the past, I know all too well that latin languages are not fit to be localization targets from Japanese or from English. Too much is lost, effectively hampering the enjoyment of the original script.
