Translate

[Economizer]

They will be focusing on the high priority portions of the new UI first. Once those milestones have been completed, testing to see if features such as copy/paste could be implemented will be next on their plate. We'll make sure of it.

Copy/paste will be great, from macros to talking past language barriers and more. I look forward to it being implemented.

If there is a word or phrase that you wish was there for you on your adventures,
（Can I have it?） （Yes, please.）

If there are any auto-translation terms/phrases that you feel must go, you can let us know too!

I think （L1 Button） is getting nervous.

For auto-translate, can we get a website that lists all the phrases in each language and the phrases you've posted on the FFXI website too? When we get copy/paste we can use this to augment the limited auto-translate dictionary, as well as use older terms that might get removed.

Another feature that would be a nice bonus would be auto-translate for the forums! It would be a nice testbed of phrases, and it would be a bit more fun then tagging things with Seagreen/Red tags to try to make it look like Auto-Translate. I think this might not be completely possible, but if it is, it would be great.

While the L1 button isn't particularly something I care for, the ×, ○, □, △ button translate has been long useful for making symbols, so make sure that is enterable via an ALT code for non-PC platforms, or at very least copy/pastable if you are removing it. I wouldn't say they're as important to FFXI's culture as certain other autotranslate phrases however.

Widescan would be another nice one to see, it doesn't seem to be in the game for some reason. It isn't high priority though, it isn't something widely said.

Well speaking of L1 Button getting nervous, I just want to point out like Economizer did that I've always enjoyed the use of O Button as many others as it offers a nicer visual than a cap O when describing that you've acquired something you're proud of or to say a short "yes, I have this" for search messages. Same for the X button and "No, I don't have this". For anyone that isn't aware you just find these under Controller menu, select them to AT and hit backspace to delete the word "button" so yeah. Some of the apparent useless ones do have an use but I suppose if they must go in favor of more communication convenience then may I suggest they be the very last ones to go in the hopes that they might be saved.

How about every relevant new JA/spell added since 76.

[Babekeke]

The majority of controller and keyboard commands can go, though some would need a sensible replacement as they have become the norm due to lack of correct commands. Eg. End Key needs replacing with 'finished' or something similar. Enter Key/ Start Button need replacing with 'Begin' or 'Let's go' or even just 'Enter' or 'Start'.

Useful game terms that I can think of to add:
"Please put your choice into your /seacom" or something like that.
"Kill the mob using Magic only"
"Kill the mob using Melee only"
"Kill the mob using Weapon Skills only"
"Kill the mob using Elemental WS only"
"Nuke!"
"Melee!"
"True Sight"
"True Sound"
"Avoid detection!"
"Maybe/perhaps"
"Next"

And lastly, some of the phrases used in ff14 were quite good, like "I had fun today" and "Let's play again some time."

Good suggestions, there, babekeke.

I thought I had posted a few things but it seems I might have closed the tab before posting it so here it is.

Auto-translations for all the new zones and events should probably be included, including but not limited to: All the Abyssea areas, Legion, Nyzul Isle Uncharted, Voidwatch. Terms to describe some of the gameplay elements introduced in these events should also be included, such as "azure light", "spectral alignment", "weakness triggering" (or whatever SE officially calls it).

Another thing that could be useful is having the various monster families available in auto-translate, such as "Amphiptere", "Uragnite", "Buffalo" "Vampyr", "Corpselight" and so on. Not individual monster names, just their subfamiliies. I would however not prioritize adding all monster families if the number of auto-translation slots is limited.

[Vivivivi]

The above are all good suggestions. Personally I would like to see phrases added that matter most in critical situations such as void watch weaknesses. These would include:

-Newer weapon skills such as Sanguine Blade, Aeolian Edge etc.

-Newer spells and abilities such as: Emnity Douse, Bully, Blizzaja, etc

-Light colors, and tactics.
Example:
- ((Hold damage!)) ((Red)) ((Not complete.))

Inclusion of at least Provenence and Legion, currently Abyssea is easy enough to understand, but it is nearly impossible to form a group that spans languages for these two events. The closest I have seen for Provenence is something like: ((Crystal)) ((Dragon Killer)) and 3 ((cat))s.

I have not seen any cross-language legion groups because there is not a good way to describe what it is with auto-translate.

I personally do not think the system needs a grand overhaul, and it works quite well for many things, but the terms do need to be updated.

[Nawesemo]

Why is star sybil in translate..... I'm guessing that original developers thought she would be a good gathering place?

[Yokai]

(Are you alone?) I don't think has ever been used outside of being creepy.

Actually it's basically saying "are you already in a party or alliance?" Or "are you already in a linkshell?"

Particularly useful if you're contacting someone who is /anon, which does not provide the information of if someone is in a PT or solo.



After all, you don't want to seem like you're trying to gank party members from an existing party, right?
(If you're okay with doing that, this auto-translate phrase is not for you.)

hu? No, its stalker for can I kidnap you when your friends are not looking, time to reconnect the net.... Plug back inya know?.

[Komori]

If anyone is that curious, I typically see them ask (Party) (Do you need it?) (Do you have it?) rather than using (Are you alone?)

As mentioned before, (Are you alone?) is typically someone being creepy or immature because if it's used with anything else. (Meat) (Rod) (Do you need it?) follows. Trust me, being one of very small percentage of real omgwomen on the internet, it's a creeper question.
