There are many tools to support localization. I worked at a company that used a language translation file read by our software to translate from English to about 10 popular languages - we had about 10 translators working on site and the system was smooth.
Of course on most planes text stays as English, like the MCDU and 7-segment displays on International jets.
But the User options and settings must be in the native language.
This is not difficult or expensive for Microsoft to setup, to support many languages. There is no excuse for an International company to ignore the world.
However, xenophobia from some political leaders has not helped.

Saw the newest roadmap.
Glad the Chinese UI is coming with SIM UPADTE IX. That should not be too far. It’s GREAT news for all Chinese user!
Still a little sad that only mentioned Simplified Chinese even we mentioned Traditional Chinese so many times is this article.
Understand the SC market share is so huge so dev made this decision. Hope someday will transfer to Traditional Chinese as well.

We finally got the Chinese localization. Although it only supports Simplified Chinese for now.
I remember Jorg Neumann answered to Japan game media 4gamer that BOTH Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese could be investigated to work on.
Do we still have possible to get Traditional Chinese in the future?
