French in NA servers

So, Riot should add French as an official option for the NA servers... I added it easily, but a lot of people wouldn't know how to do it. It would take literally about 20 seconds for a Riot employee to go into the files, find the region language settings, and add French into the NA settings.

It can be done by us individually, but at least make it official instead of passively insulting the millions of French speaking North Americans.

Spanish would be nice too, for all the Americans who speak it

Sounds like a nice and easy addition for all of the French speaking Canadians.

As for primary Spanish speakers, I think it's preferable for them to use the Latin American server even if they live in North America (United States or Mexico). The Latin America server is actually located in Florida if I recall correctly. Expecting French Canadians to use the EUW would be unreasonable due to ping latency across the Atlantic, but there shouldn't be major latency issues from the Florida Latin America server to the Spanish-speakers of North America.

You realize that the entire point of the server regions is to ENCOURAGE players to communicate, right?

Enabling second languages is kind of the opposite of that.
