Thing about auto-translate is that all versions of the game (PS2 included) are programmed to gain access to a term if you see it in a /tell. Like if I were to /tell someone an item term like "Jeunoan Flag", it would thereafter appear in their list. Even if they restrict PS2 users from using these terms innately, they'd also encounter the problem of a term like "Blade: Hi" entering their dictionary through /tells.

To me the auto-translate is probably the biggest hit XI is taking due to PS2 limitations. I mean new races would be a luxury, but when PS2's failings restrict our ability to communicate....
