When I started learning English many years ago at the high school, playing games helped me a lot in developing my language skill.

It is a good combination of something pleasant and usefull at the same time.

And you get the advantage that whenever your parents or girlfriend or wife or boss tell you to stopl playing, you can reply: "Sorry, I am not just playing, I am learning English you know..."
Absolutely right. However, that might not be so good for someone who has very little knowledge in English. Learning is useful and interesting, but to a point. Someone with almost no English knowledge and taking no English classes or learning English him-/her- self will not need or appreciate English EB.

However, there are plenty of automatic game translators online. They are pretty accurate and can pick up context clues, not to mention that for the relatively few things they will not translate correctly, a human being could. This way, the computer does most of the work, with the human merely being the editor.
