And that translation process takes time. Keep in mind this translation of FW was pretty good unlike other Russian -> English translated games. The language is comprehendible and included alot of spoken dialog in addition to text. I'd rather they get it right instead of rushing it.

I'm personally wondering when they will announce the tournament winners
It is very different since the market for games in english is much much bigger than for games in russian. I'm just a bit curious why they don't aim at the international market right away as I would say 99% of all other developers do.
