It's still ridiculous. It's not as if there's one person translating it into all the languages, you have a different team working on each language. What that means is (shock, horror) those teams can work in parallel and it would take the same amount of time to translate into one language (English) as it would to translate into five! Worldwide release of a game is easy, Europe have their own disc pressing plants and all that needs to be sent to Europe is the data. There is no reason why a game shouldn't be released simultaneously except to exploit the timing of a particular market. I can understand why worldwide console releases are difficult (just ask Nintendo) but there's no reason why a game can't be released worldwide simultaneously.
Help! I'm stuck in a forum signature!
