Hi! Do any of you guys know how plausible it is to run a campaign in other languages other than English? I play DnD in Spanish with my local friends, but because of the language-centered nature of this game, I was wondering.

It is perfectly plausible to play this RPG in other languages, I plan to play it in Hungarian. It's language centered, but it focuses on things the group comes up with, with minimal input from the rules. Just translate every Means, write them down in the target language and use them like that.
Players only need to translate during character creation. After that, Realizing and Honing Sentences can happen in the target language.
Same for the GM. If they use premade Moons, NPCs or Factions, translate their Means before the session. Otherwise, they can just come up with new ones in their own language.
After you familiarize yourself with the rules, you will be more focused on what's on your sheets. Hope this helped!
Haven't done it myself, but I agree with LaTueur here and am super interested to hear from folks who do this. Part of the thing that excites me about it is that all languages have their own ambiguities in vocabulary and grammar that can create interesting meaning (whether that's something poetically poignant or tactically flexibile). I can't wait to see how people bend words to broaden or tighten their Sentences according to the unique ways their language works!
