AGDI doesn't have the resources to translate the games themselves. There was once an attempt to let fans translate the games, but that just didn't work out well. Just trying to get it organized was a major hassle (people would volunteer but then not actually finish it), and there was then no way to guarantee the quality of the translation (and a bad translation would reflect poorly on AGDI even if they didn't do it). It just ended up not being worth it.

Really. It's makes sense. Thanks for your answer.

Yeah, I worked as a translator for a while and it's one hell of a job, most amateurs think it'll be easier and give up mid translation when facing the hard truth. If so many people are getting paid to translate, there's a reason!
But if translating the game is still a possibility, it might be worth looking for cheaper translators, like in Russia or India, I've worked with agencies from these countries several time and the translations were far from bad.
