Like I said I am just curious now as to why after a years time people are still shocked to see an MTL game when looking at recent trends you shouldn't be surprised.
Thats because it is missing the point. Right now the ratio is such that its a bit of a toss up with it being more likely a game isn't in english. weirdly enough you can usually tell by the art (But even if it were 95% crazy language we'd still complain.) There are two reasons for this.
Reason one is that no matter the ratio or expectation, either way its added annoyance of having extra steps when looking through titles because you gotta double check every time if its in english. This means really what we need isn't just a tag at the top of the thread but a pre-fix, like "completed" or "RPGM" that you can see before you bother opening a thread. Maybe if mtl is considered the norm we need an "english" tag instead. Or even better a way to filter them out by default for your acc.
The other reason is in the nature of this site. I for one come to this site because it has lots of stuff with working links and its supposed to be in english. Meaning you can get good results for little fiddling around. This changes for the worse the more mtl games we get. For the part of the community not into it, which is a vocal part of ??? size, its literally just spam that bloats the pages for no gain.
A smaller hidden reason I have seen mentioned at times is the worry that once a game gets an mtl nobody will bother giving it an actual translation so the potential of getting the game at all just dies.
