Hi. There are still some technical issues to tackle with the language switch, since parts of the translations are cached more heavily than others. We are working on that.
Why did we introduce it: To encourage players from other countries play the Beta version of Grepolis without having a language barrier.
Well, players might feel more comfortable with their mother tongue in their own accounts, but in the alliance forums the new feature is causing a "Babylonian" confusion of languages, since now published reports and screenshots show the native language of the players posting them. The same is true for those gruesome automated applications via the alliance finder (although those applications are now providing at least a tiny bit of information - i.e. info about the applicant´s mother tongue...^^).
The main problem is, of course, that the players will be confronted with that "language barrier" again as soon as they wish to contact the support team, report bugs or read and understand information provided in the forums (or the DevBlog).
