I'm not sure exactly who you thought would be excited.
If someone is reading this forum then they already have KSP and get along well enough with it in English to be interested enough to read here an announcement of super-duper new stuff. So not many of these folks are going to be excited about language localisation.
Those that might be attracted newly to the game because it is to be available in their first language aren't here yet to get excited.
Which leaves just those getting excited about the competition.
well I am one of those who are reading this post and are genuinely excited about this release. I am Chinese, and I have been in the UK for 5 years. I love KSP and I had always wanted to localize it for Chinese-speaking players. I have done a localization patch for Planetary Annihilation, but unfortunately as I am very new to coding, I am unable to solve problems that were encountered during the localization process of KSP and eventually I gave up. There are many players in China who cannot understand what the tutorial is teaching them, or the orbital mechanics contents of the game. Although localization won't help them learn orbital mechanics, at least now they know what the data is about, what the parts' functions are, etc. I am personally very happy to see the official Chinese localization being released, which means more stability and constant updates (there have been a number of unofficial language packs already), and in turn they lead to better gaming experience.
