    Auto-translation dictionary addition(s).

    Could you please consider creating some additions to the auto-translation dictionary?

    The auto-translation dictionary is without an entry for the word caravan. This addition would be helpful in organizing groups for caravan.

    Also, for hamlet defense, when grouped with members who A) Don't speak English B) Cannot distinguish between Sanguine Humours, Phlegmatic Humours, and Melancholic Humours, it would be helpful to have the terms: red, blue, and green to use in auto-translation, or any other colors relevant to gameplay.

    I'd also like to suggest that if they were to add colors, they put "(Color)" at the end of each entry.

    I know that probably seems superfluous, but it'd keep, for example, not-so-bright English speakers from using <Green> to refer to Gysahl Greens and having people of other languages not understand at all. I always hated seeing <May><bee> used for "maybe" in FFXI...

    Great suggestion Len (and Kowen).

    I'll speak with the man in charge of the auto-translate dictionary and see if we can get some colors added to the list.

    Thank you, and feel free to let us know if there are any more terms you'd like to see.

    Need some words to define your role in a party, such as "Tank", "Damage Dealer", and "Healer". Could also use "Ranged Damage Dealer", and "Magic Damage Dealer".

    I think healer might be there already, but the other two are definitely missing.

    I was going to make a new thread but this is perfect place to post this.

    Can "walk" be added to the auto translate. I've been through Darkhold several times and whenever we get to the ghosts there is usually somebody who does not understand. Many needless deaths have happened because somebody goes running through and gets swarmed.

    I'd like to suggest "Is it alright if I join?" and either "I have done this before" or "I know what to do".

    I've been wanting to join random groups for Hamlet Defense but they have all been JP Only, I'm hoping that if they know that I know what to do they wouldn't worry about inviting someone that doesn't speak their language.

    Edit: Also I believe we still don't have "Home Point" in the auto-translate.

    I know this is quite the redundant word, but I'd like the word [Affection] added. I used it all the time in FFXI, now that it's not available in FFXIV I feel that it's almost impossible to share my Lalafell affection towards other Lalafellians.

    /translate isn't the problem. The problem is that various categories have capped amount of terms they are able to hold. Once you reach the limit they can't hold anymore. In order to clear the lists you have to logout to the character selection screen and log back in. Besides /translate doesn't do as advertised. Shouldn't it.

    Oh that's why I can never find the name of the camp that I want to use. I've actually had to travel to a camp to get it to appear, send the message and go back to where I was... Please remove this cap! Surely this is stored locally so shouldn't be a drain on server resources.
