Title: Language translation for chat?
Post by: mugzz on April 21, 2014, 04:51:23 am
I know this won't happen but it would be great if we got to see what our fellow players are saying. Like there could be a section to pick which language to translate the chat to. Would be cool and this ont happen, but just puttin it out there as a thought. :P

 Aye flurf, I believe this belongs in Game Opinions & Ideas, does it?

However,  I'm going to have to agree there. Too many people who don't speak English in Cape I noticed.  ;A;

I'm not sure if this would be incorporated into the game even if we did have Kovu's source code. I see some pros and cons with this.
Pros:
-Easier for the staff to moderate foreign languages.
-Benefits English speaking players immensely.

Cons:
-Would there be an option for people who don't speak English? Unless language conversions could be switched in options, the game probably wouldn't be as fun for players in some countries.
-Needs the source code, which we don't have.

Good idea, despite the cons. ^^ I'm sure many players would find this option helpful, I though, am against it.

Aye flurf, I believe this belongs in Game Opinions & Ideas, does it?
Indeed it does. ^^

From a modding point of view, this would be very useful indeed for those of us who aren't fluent in foreign languages. The amount of times I've seen a conversation in another language and I've had no idea what's being said... xD
AlphaEclipse is right in that the source code will probably be needed if this were going to happen. Which we don't have. It's a nice, thoughtful idea.

That'd be great, to be honest! A russian player wasn't sure what something meant and i tried talking to them in russian, but they were gone. If there is an option for the players that don't speak english then i'm in x3

That is a splendid idea!

I sometimes struggle in english grammar because I do not come from a British Country. :)

Sounds like a fine idea to me. Like others have stated above, it would really help the staff moderate other languages.

Perhaps if we could somehow put google translate into the game it would help. I mean, google translate isnt always accurate (trust me, i tried using it for a sentence in German class, teacher immediately noticed XD) But it would still help alot. And it would help people who dont speak english or whatever other language feel more like they belong because they can socialize and connect with more people.
