Realistic synthesis

The question to decide
An overseas contract offers three years of production funding in exchange for releasing new content in that language first. The existing market alone cannot cover production costs, but for existing learners, even if they wait for translations, cutting support staff would make it hard to continue studying. How should management prioritize which language to produce, and divide resources between the two markets' content and support?
