Additions to chat

Post by BroodingSnow »

Since this game has people from all walks of life on the same server, all chatting together etc, what are the chances of an integrated translator for the chat? Ive seen such things in other mobile app games, and i can say without a doubt that they make a lot of difference. The ones ive seen arent always on, usually some sort of button next to each msg u can click on to have it translated. They arent perfect, but for those of us that cant tab out to google translate each time, they would be great.

From my own experience ingame, its mostly russian and english speakers, theres others too ofcourse, but i dont see them as often. As i dont speak russian i tend to just ignore the chat, however its not that nice to ignore a pm, even if i dont understand it. I find that some of the ones ive replied to dont speak english, so it kinda defeats the purpose of replying at all.

One idea leads to another

When anyone sends me a PM in a language I dont understand I just write back "sorry, only english..." as a general response. It seems to get the message across. You can still be friendly and help out when help is obviously needed even with a language barrier too.

What could be most useful is allowing the text in the chat window to be selectable for copy, and then paste into Google Translate. That way all the processing is client side.

Also perhaps allow the chat window to have a scroll option, 4 lines of text disappears very quickly.

Wouldn't that require closing FT to copy/paste?

+1k for this one! And sometimes, just as one hits [Enter], it "blinks by" so fast no one can read it, not even the sender.

Yes it would close FT the moment one switched to Google Translate.

I wish that one could keep FT running in the background

My advantage, I only play on my tablet, at my computer desk and the cmputer is always online.

Many translators available on the "big screen". :D
