I just started Clash of Clans recently, and am around a 1000 trophy count. I kept getting immediately kicked out of clans I joined when I was at a lower count (400-500 maybe), but finally was allowed to stay in one.
I've been in it for 3 weeks, and they only speak Indonesian. I only speak English. I didn't notice the clan location field…
Part of me wants to stay because the clan is functional, and they helped me out.
But part of me thinks I may need to be able to communicate with them.
How important is communicating in Clash of Clans? Is it just giving troops back and forth, or in practice, is there often coordination on who attacks who, etc?
PS I tried a few translation sites, and it comes out as English words, but isn't comprehensible.

If someone in your clan asks for "Level 5 Hogs" in a language you don't understand you wont be able to help them and you may give them what they DO NOT want. In war it is very important to give the troops asked for because war strategies are chosen in advance. Giving the wrong troop results in additional troop request delays.
In our clan we not only require English, but that the player names also be in the Latin alphabet. I cannot read or write in Mandarin, so how would I address or communicate to a player with Chinese characters in his name?
Finally, for a war clan, it's not just language that matters... being in a similar timezone is very helpful. If you are asleep while the rest of your clan is planning and attacking and v.v. you will not be much help or receive much help.
