There are many ways to ask tiny indie devs to add localization to their game. These requests can be polite or rude, but leaving a negative review for missing localization is one of the worst approaches.

Cuckery to pirates:
I have heard a blogger on Bilibili finished a Chinese translation of my game in just 11 hours. Do you have a contact for that blogger? Would they be willing to provide me with the translation? I can pay for that, of course. I did not expect it to be possible to do it that fast.

I've been watching it unfold on a Chinese sub, and they are furious at the developer.
It seems they are very adamant that the developer is intentionally picking on the Chinese for various reasons, such as:
There are only two complaints about the language, why make a big deal out of it when there are plenty of positive Chinese review?
The game supports 11 languages, many have fewer speakers than Chinese, why include them and not Chinese. So this is not a "can't" issue, but a "won't" issue.
It includes Japanese, but not Chinese? Why do White people like Japanese more than Chinese?
There are a few in those threads who voiced my take on this whole story, that they are not owed a language, and should either just petition for it, hack the game to translate it themselves, or just don't play it.
They then got even more upset, saying the developer should just make the game unavailable to the China region, and the people who speaks out in defense of the developer are race traitors.
Mainlanders will continue to wonder why the civilized world see them as savages.
