It will take a lot of time to translate all of the dialog if they voice as many NPCs as they did in the first two games. The $400k is really $100k per language. A person skilled enough in both German/French/Spanish/Italian and Japanese to effectively translate the script would have a rare set of skills. I would think that person would be paid the equivalent of $60k - $70k+ per year. If it takes a year or more to finalize all of the translation efforts for that one language and then they also have to have programmers spend their time entering, formatting, proofreading and matching text with the proper speech, you can see how it could eat up that $100k very quickly.
