Wizards of the Coast has released the 5.1 System Reference Document (basically the core rules of D&D 5e) in four new languages alongside English including Spanish, Italian, German, and French.

In my opinion, this is an amazing effort and one that helps Wizards of the Coast improve its reputation as a good steward of D&D and good partner of the hobby.

    Regardless of motivation, spending the money to translate the 5.1 SRD into four languages and then putting it out into the CC opens up a lot of expansion of 5e into other countries and people who never would otherwise play. And it does so regardless of what WOTC does in the future. It’s prudent that we don’t trust WOrC. With this out there, we don’t have to trust them.
