Displayed Language in Replays

Post by Silene »

I sometimes replay games to get a feeling for a new game. Unfortunately it is not so easy to find a replay in my language.

Could you

a) Make it possible to chose the language in a replay (all cards / mouseover / actions etc. seem to be in the language of the host of the played game)
or
b) At least display the used language somewhere before you start the replay (avoiding the loading time when starting the replay)

The searching for a replay in english sometimes takes ages because the loading time of a replay and the repetedly not-understood languages really add up...

This will still take a bit of time, but a way that is quicker than loading a replay of the game is checking the profiles of the players first. If they have another language listed besides English, there's a reasonable chance the game will be in their other language. When you find someone who only knows English, replaying from their point of view will undoubtedly produce an English game.

As a note, it would be difficult to display the replay language, since it's connected to what an individual player used.
