Translated data

Hi !
I was wondering if there is any way to get the data in a specific language. Not only the card name in "foreignNames", but also the texts and everything.
For now it seems that the requests made with the multiverseid from a specific language returns "404 - Not found".
Example:
If I try to get https://api.magicthegathering.io/v1/cards/386616, in the foreignNames node, I find the multiverseid 387692 for French, but if I try to get https://api.magicthegathering.io/v1/cards/387692, I have a 404.
Any chance we can have the full translated data ?
I can look into this, but not even mtgjson.com has the translations available. I could attempt to use language translation services, but I'd be worried about the accuracy. I'll see what I can find though.
Yes, I saw that everything is in english, also the Oracle texts on gatherer.wizards.com. But they do show printed texts in other languages, that's why I was hoping to have access to these texts :)
The multiverseid is the id from Oracle (gatherer.wizards.com). You can use it to go there with printed=true and read it from there (no APIs that I know has any language other than English).
ex: http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?printed=true&multiverseid=387423
This feature now exists, so this issue can probably be closed.
The translated text (where available) is now in the foreignNames field, nested under name, text, flavor and imageUrl.
Nice, thanks for this! I have to admit that I didn't come here for a while, it's a good opportunity to try new stuff :-)
