Spoken Language Selection
Hello all!! I know in the years past it's been suggested that some sort of automated language translator be built into FT however, let's be honest, the backbone behind a real-time translator is extremely difficult to implement.
That said, one of the problems I, and I'm assuming others have, is being able to identify a specific language being used by other players. If we could at least identify, or had a way to determine up front the language they are using, it would make it easier for us to translate on our end.
Could we implement a drop down box on the game setup screen where players could select from a number of pre-defined spoken languages? You could start with the most common ones in game already. That selected language would then show on the player info screen when viewing them real-time in game. Examples below.
Just a thought to assist in bringing the community one step closer to cohesiveness.

Re: Spoken Language Selection
If you long press the chat at the top of the screen, it converts the chat to your language. You need to have the latest game version for this.

Re: Spoken Language Selection
That does not work on the PC versions of the game however.

Re: Spoken Language Selection
As I understand it the translation is run through Google. Not sure if that affects the iOS players though.

Re: Spoken Language Selection
Be interesting to find out why the PC version of the game doesn't have that function.

Re: Spoken Language Selection
I am actually running it in NOX and the translator worked well. I haven't tried Bluestacks.
The translations I thought were a little odd though.
"raw leg beast 20m sale"
"clown cake beast gun 20xp"

It's an android emulator. Very very good and stable.

Re: Spoken Language Selection
I always cross my fingers and hope for the best using Google translate. Many people probably get an answer and wonder what in the world I'm talking about!
