Dan, can I ask - which players speak english and which not?
Hmm to be honest I am not to sure of this answer. Yan An spoke very good. He understood basic stuff. I think Xu Xin and Fan Zhendong struggle a lot. They always needed a translator. I only know of those 3 really, I hear Ma Long and Zhang Jike are pretty good at speaking English.
Yes, about Ma Long, I remember in an interview with Ian Marshall (I think) that he doesn't need the translator to understand the questions but he just replied directly in chinese.
