Please, please, please don't block translations to alpha games. :)
Here's why:
I've just requested Tarokk (a Hungarian game) to go to alpha.
To the best of my knowledge, there are only a handful of people who have ever played this in English (and the vast majority of those were taught by me a good while ago and probably no longer remember too much of the fringe details).
If I am to find reviewers who can comment on the functional part (including those pesky fringe details!) besides the usability & consistency with guidelines etc. (which any seasoned BGA veteran will be able to judge), I'm absolutely going to need a number of Hungarian speakers, including some who don't speak English, or do but would be unduly confused by having to play the game using the English terminology.

Yes, we discussed this by email, it has been taken into account: I said "only the developers will have access". You will be able to translate Tarokk to Hungarian.

Oh, right, that's fine then. I saw the word "block" and missed the point about developers still having access. (Phew!)
