This is an idea I had while in Spanish class. Why not translate DoE into Spanish so that Spaniards can play it and understand it (As in translate all text from spell information, in-game popups, etc.)? It would expand DoE's playability range to people who speak Spanish but who don't speak English or who can't read English, and new versions would come out when the English version came out.
just me and my thoughts talking...

Re: ¡DoE en Español!
Understandably it wouldn't be JUST me. It would take far to long, and I DO have a life outside of school and DoE. Maybe myself and others who know Spanish reasonably well could do it.

Re: ¡DoE en Español!
How do you propose to spread DoE to spanish-speaking people anyway? All the spanish-speaking people on BNET seem to also speak english, and you do not see any "Spanish only" games for whom to spread this to. I just do not think the audience is large enough to warrant the effort. Also, as assassingao (whatever his name is) showed, DoE could be popular to people who don't speak English, even in its current version, as can be seen through his endeavors in Thai (i believe).

Yes, it's Thai.
Unless DoE gets to some monolithic state where 50% of the Bnet populace plays it and you can find a DoE game on every realm in 2 minutes of looking, I won't be extending it to any different languages personally. How do you even justify such an endeavor? I mean, do you even think it's worth it? If so, why? If not, why suggest it at all?
