Please note the final sentence of Rule 2578.

Rule 2578/1 (Power=3)
Currencies

  A currency is a class of asset defined as such by its backing
  document. Instances of a currency with the same owner are
  fungible.

  The "x balance of an entity", where x is a currency, is the number
  of x that entity possesses. Where it resolves ambiguity, the asset
  or currency being referred to is the currency designated as
  the official currency of Agora, if there is one.

However, CFJ 3530 found that there are distinct limits to that - the
translation has to be pretty clear or it fails.

This was the most recent set of such CFJs I think:

The relevant CFJ citation is CFJ 3471, but there are a few others directly
following it (that you can find in the CFJ database)

  Those CFJs aren't the end of the story, we had a player back in 2017 who
communicated eir game actions almost entirely in Japanese  and we allowed
them if they could be google translated into making sense on the theory
that machine translation is so accessible these days
