What is multi-language vendor or MLV? Let’s take World of Warcraft as an example. In this MMORPG you have a bunch of different vendors, some of them are selling armor, some of them are selling weapons, some of them are related to your profession, some of them just sell general stuff that you might need and they are kind of like let’s say specialized in certain things. And then you of course have the auction house NPCs which give you access to the auction house where you can buy pretty much anything across the different categories.
So in a way your auction house NPC is something like a multi-language vendor. They give you access to multiple different languages instead of going to a vendor that only focuses on one particular language.
