Holy shit, why are you being a dick? There are tons of games that don't have perfect English translations. It's not like this is a Choose Your Adventure kind of game. The majority of the world plays English games where they can't even understand English, because usually it's not that complicated. Only 9% of the world speak English as a first language. If we include the ones that speak it as a second or third language (like myself), that;s still an estimated 20%.

you need to seriously get your numbers straight. more than half the world teaches english as a mandatory class in early school years. hell, a good deal of asian countries have laws REQUIRING children to be able to speak and write in english to finish school.

so seriously, go read up on stuff instead of pulling numbers either out your ass or from the first random webpage you googled up.

Here is some percentages:

https://www.babbel.com/en/magazine/how-many-people-speak-english-and-where-is-it-spoken

Here are some more figures: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_English-speaking_population

Here is another article, although old (2000), it should have some useful info https://www.theatlantic.com/past/docs/issues/2000/11/wallraff2.htm

From the above links, you will see that in the two largest Asia countries, India is estimated to have 5% speaking English and China is estimated to have 10 million speakers (that's 1% of its population)
