Ironically, my server over there was configured in English. Of course, many of the games (TF2) have multi-language support, as does SourceMod I believe. But, I never really had to or try to customize anything in any way to target other languages over there.
Regarding the hosting providers, most of them have English versions of their web-sites. This is especially true of those hosting in Hong Kong - presumably due to being a former colony. Also, many of the hosting providers are actually European companies, that just happen to have extended their services to that region. So, those typically have multi-language control panels and such, which (as far as I have seen) always include English along with whatever that company's primary language might be (German, or example). I never encountered any language difficulties. On Fri, Jan 31, 2014 at 5:18 PM, Aaron Thompson <rmesc...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thanks, bro! Will check into this.
