another reason is different grammar even if it's same in English, while old will be same in English no matter if you write old woman, old man or old child in languages with gender distinction it will be different, same goes for singular vs plural
so while in English you need only one string for singular and plural for different genders, in other languages it need to be written 5 different ways and we still didn't get into grammar cases which also don't exist in English, so while in English you would use 20 times old in other language you need 20 different variations
many companies where it's the default language of products English or Chinese have later big issues to localize content properly, especially considering Chinese being even more primitive language than English. good luck trying to explain all these distinctions to Chinese developers
