C# is a real programming language usable outside game dev, as well as transferable to other engines or frameworks like Unity and MonoGame. GDScript is usable only in Godot.

Negociating with a Japanese publishing house is probably 3 times the effort of translating the text itself. I'm interested in the book myself and I can read some Japanese (and know people more proficient than me who could translate it)
