Hi all,
I fear that the next D&D incanation will be a english-only affair. The license for D&D4 was a fiasco in France, and even a bigger one in Germany.
Therefore, D&D5 will be only sold for a very tiny portion of the roleplay community in France: the one that can read english. It also means that getting young people to play the game will be impossible. So people will introduce the game with older material, and the young aspiring Dungeon Master will find nothing in game shops.
Moreover, the fact that DDI will likely be a big part of the future D&D iteration mean that a translation is even harder to consider: keeping up with web content is next to impossible.
I may play D&D5 iteration, but this is quite unlikely to tell the truth. It is sad...
