Many types of games are played world-wide, some of them more widespread than others. Some do not require any translation (e.g., Chess), although the players may have some problems communicating with each other if they don't share a common language. In the case of both Scrabble and Monopoly, I can show you Dutch and French language versions, and I'm sure they're not the only games that are played world-wide but are localized to the specific languages being spoken/understood/written/read in a particular country or region. As far as language is concerned, I do not see how this issue is relevant to these two particular games. -- Brad Knowles, "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania.
