Auto-Translate Expansion

[oliveira]

lol guys ... The PS2 dictionaries on the Japanese version of the game are downloaded MANUALLY through POL viewer and "equipped" like you do with a piece of armor in game.

This is the screen where the dictionaries are "equipped".


You have an alloted space of 256 blocks and you can see I have four dictionaries loaded, two for FFXI and two for PlayOnline Viewer and still have 41 blocks free.

To be fair with SE, Japanese is a phonetic/ideogram based language where you can most times fit a whole word in just two to four bytes of computer memory, meaning their dictionaries usually end a lot smaller in Japanese language than what it does on western languages. Still, they can SURELY burn the PlayOnline specific commands and auto translate terms to gain some space.

Also, the limitations come from how the current system works (it takes in mind the ATOK Input Method Editor used by the Japanese PS2 version) and obviously a PC don't have problems with it since it does not use ATOK as input method.

Point given, considering that PS2 support might be on it's last two years you PS2 haters are certainly close to the point you all will be able to blow your crackers ... lol

Even if the hate is unjustified ... lol

P.S.: The number shown on the top of the screen is nothing account-compromising. It's called Handle Name ID and is used to find people through the search function at POL Viewer.
