German localized version vs the original game

In a recent discussion with someone, I was debating allowing the German version on the leaderboards. Their argument against it being that since it modifies things aside from the script, most notably the wine cellar and Lincoln to make them easier, it shouldn't be allowed.

My stance on this was that any official release should be allowed. The obvious compromise would have been to split the leaderboard but I decided against it considering how small the community is. My reasoning being that no one would bother with the original English version anyway when it's more risky and less consistent if all you get in return is the prestige. I simply assumed there wouldn't be any such purists.

I neglected to discuss this publicly before and just allowed German runs alongside English, so I'd like to ask everyone, should the leaderboards be split? Why? Why not?

I've added a language variable to the leaderboards. By default, all versions are shown together. You can now use the filter to only show times for each version.
