Good on WotC.
Hope the idea of SRDs for past editions comes to fruition as well.

I am most interested in this. Here's to hoping.

RPG deveolpment outside of the US is blooming for years now, and mostly independant from 5e...

Yes. And it will be interesting to see how having the 5E ruleset put into the Creative Commons in multiple languages affects the development of RPGs internationally going forward.

It being in the creative commons gave people the right to translate it to whatever languages they wished. Putting their own translations into CC-BY is great, but others could still have made other-language RPGs based on it regardless of WotC putting these out.

But having to do the translation oneself is... in fact... extra work that may act a barrier. This move reduces that friction.

No doubt that's coming: better to release these piecemeal than to wait for every language that they may wish to support.

And for things like spells, features and monsters that could have multiple valid translations having a firm word or phrase for them will be a huge aid for developers.
