Like the mighty administration entity known as Tooms stated not long ago*, there will indeed be a separate English forum once the game is released. For now, however, he fails to see the necessity of such a fancy globalisation effort, and well, I agree with him on that one. Not only because he signs my non-existing paychecks but because he's pointing a weapon at me... and my hand buzzer has just recently run out of energy. Again.
On a more serious note. I can perfectly understand why you want to understand everything surrounding your most favorite of all fan projects that try to revive the modernized-to-death Broken Sword series by creating a game that flawlessly connects to the better parts of the series, thus taking us back into the year 1997 when adventures were still something you could impress the ladies with if you left out the part with the, uh, computer and created the impression that it was actually you who stopped that evil conspiracy, which wasn't really a lie, technically, although she didn't care about that fine distinction and dumped me anyway as soon as she found out that my name wasn't even George in the first place. Er, now, and that's why all the important stuff is translated into English and some other languages as well, because chances are there might be people in the world who actually speak them, however strange that may seem to us.
Nevertheless, forcing all the German fans and German people involved in this project to deny their mother tongue and to speak English would be a bit harsh. You wouldn't want us to force you to speak German either. I can assure you, German can be a pain in the arse.
But, no, really, you don't miss anything. Lots of stuff in this forum is just chatter without any valuable information at all. It's not in the least bit worth being translated. The important stuff, as always, will be available in the language of your choice anyway. And if some people think that this forum is awful just because we're not international enough, uh, I think the project will survive that major drawback.
*did it in German, though. Might be your point.
