do you really find this more important then in-game content?

Let me explain it to you:

1. A translated game attract more players (non-English speakers) to the game.
2. These new players support GGG with the budget for the development of the game.
3. With a bigger budget they will be able to develop and improve the in-game content.

A translated game = Profit.

You bad interpret this mechanism, then answer why OPEC coordinate and unify the petroleum policies ? Why don't release more petro people will buy it more, will buy more cars etc ? Why banks don't print more money for people ? if people will have more money they will buy more things and manufacturers will earn more money ?
Your analysis is a short-time and bad. You can make profit only on valuable things and things can be made valuable or not.
PoE is so unique and better from many other games because of its unique mechanism and high very innovative complexity and rules, if it will be simplified because hordes of kids that want, it will become another weak game which there are many.

I see that you want to improve your English by playing PoE. Very commendable. I used Diablo I back in the days and Pratchett's books.
Your analogies are wrong, however. OPEC producing more oil would lead to more oil on the market, which would then cause the price to drop (happening at the moment). If moneys print more money that does not mean that this money would reach the population, since wages wouldn't automatically rise.
On the other hand, if you enable more people to buy oil by not making it difficult for them (because, for example, you wouldn't need to read and sign the buying contracts in Arabian, but can choose from a variety of languages) you can sell more MTX, sorry, oil.
As to the hordes of kids... we already have hordes of English speaking kids, of which there are many. Do you really think it would be so different when we now also get German kids, Brazilian kids and French kids? Moreover, I know so many people, even with a higher education (i.e. not kids), who really suck at English, that I imagine not only kids would come to PoE were a German version available.

I just couldn't help and quickly translated the poem myself, to sound more... erm, poetic:

Aus des Meeres nasser Klammer
zog Tarkleigh Bestel, was ein Jammer!
Das Schiff auf Grund, die Crew im Sarg,
doch Bestel lebt - Dank sei Dir, Tark...leigh.

See, thats why translations are so hard to do, often it just doesnt sound right. Considering that its a poem, the latter works way better than the former.

PS: Why are we still posting in a necro thread?

Hard? In my opinion, it just takes a native speaker and some imagination.

Of course, google translate is easier and cheaper.

Thx for reply ! I'm still do not agree for translating PoE to others language.
And not because i want improve my English, although i don't know it well maybe or even good, i think about value this game can drop, I think rather on maintaining value of game and watch with concern at the new upgrades. I'm not convinced to Hideouts where we can in simple way upgrade items i think it will cause drop of value of unique and rare items, armours, etc. I think that there should be possibility to modification mods by 0,01 or 0,005% by doing this mission it could be harder and more equal to the realities of Wraeclast but I'm not convinced to this idea completely. I think introducing PvP was also bad, I think it becomes mindless clicking has nothing with real skilling in game, kids will share with knowledge about what items are the best etc, I think that PvP should be permadeath, or in game introduce possibility to kill other players in example kicked or left by self from party,or by join to used instance and there should be level restriction. Such improvements more consolidate players in game and would require more attention in what they doing in game. I'm afraid that GGG is going to commonly simplification direction which is not good and can lead to nowhere.
/To next/

Are there any news about German localization progress? :)
