Yes, new languages will be added later. Can't tell you which ones, that's what publisher decides

I think that players who remain after one person quits should get a higher win than 1 point. It eliminates the entire gameplay if a single player ends up losing connection or just leaves, and it takes a ton of effort to get seven players to begin with. Please consider using some other kind of consolation method. Thanks!

If someone abandons a table, it's true that the results are a bit contradictory:
- All players who finished the game (considered winners) are shown with a score of "1" and the player who abandoned (considered loser) with "0.
- The final splash screen shows the regular score (1-13) after the guessed number of words like in any finished table.
- No elo is awarded to anyone (maybe except for the +1 elo after the first game).

If a player suddenly abandons there's nothing you can do at that point. Perhaps you can try to set-up tables requiring a good karma / reputation before starting the game. If it's a connection problem or someone has to leave, you can switch the table to turn-based and finish it that way.

I'm not sure what do you mean by that question (maybe it's rhetorical), but clues always have to be validated by a human judge who can spot those different spellings of the same word and invalidate them all (only identical clues are detected automatically).

The gameplay is quick and easy, and generally fun. However, in the second game we played, the majority of words were the same as in the first game. Therefore, boring and repetitive. Not sure we'll play again.
