Alternative/new strings system
#9
Translating the game makes it easier for players, who can't understand anyone else in the game. You really have to keep in mind, that it is a multiplayer game without language ghettos. We do not want servers for other languages only. (I know, that there are such servers, but we don't want to encourage that)

Also, localised game messages make it more or less impossible to help someone with a problem. Also, all tutorials and other documentation would have to be translated - and be kept up to date. You can't translate the game and be done.

If it were up to me, I would remove gettext instantly.
