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.

can we have a /translate. find it annoying where i cant use terms unless someone else has used them recently

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.

I want some
"Who is" "tank" "healer" sentence, would be useful for parties with JP people to be clear

I'm pretty sure they know that you understand what to do. The problem is they know you and them won't be able too communicate. And they want to avoid any awkward situations that this could lead too since they would then appear impolite.

This is what EMOTES ARE FOR.

People stop asking for terms that exist already in some form in the in game dictionary. The fact that people ask for such terms without knowing that a similar term exists that has the same meaning is not going to help. It make it harder to find the term you are looking for. Clearly you haven't even checked yourself if you have to say "I think a term doesn't exist" instead of "I know it doesn't exist."

Front Line Class, Support Line Class, and Rear Line Class already exist. These work. I don't know if you can translate words like "Tank" since their may not be an equivalent for the other languages. Or you might get a word meaning "a large drum for holding liquid/a body of water" which is what you'd get if you looked up "tank" in the dictionary.

I'm gonna have to disagree with you here. The problem with these phrases is they are too vague.

For example if you say "Front Line Class" are you talking about a close-range damage dealer like Monk or Dragoon ? Are you talking about a tank like warrior or Paladin ? If you are talking about warrior, do you need a tank or a damage dealer ?

If you say "Support Line Class" are you looking for a healer ? A buffer ? An enfeebler ? A pet class ?

If you say "Rear Line Class" you must be talking about either black mage or bard. But if you're talking about bard, does this mean you don't want any buffs ? If so, shouldn't you say "Support Line Class" ?

It's all very convoluted and frankly unusable in my opinion.

Words like "Monster", <insert monster family type here>, etc. are suspiciously absent.

Actually what I've found out now is that some groups handle loot a certain way and seem to only want JP speakers so that they can explain it.

I would like to add "Grand Company Seals" to the list of stuff that should have been in the auto-translate ages ago!

Greetings!

To enhance communication with players from around the world, we will be adding a good deal of words to the auto-translate dictionary in patch 1.23!

The list is quite large, but to give you a few examples:

• Goobbue
• Caravan
• Caravan Defense
• Tank
• Healer
• Home point
• Area
• Boss
• Dalamud
• Journal
• Solo
• Leader

…and many, many more.

I just want to show my support for terms like "I have done this fight before" or "I have experience with this monster". Those were good ideas.

{Offensive}
{Defensive}
{Neutral}
{I'm ready to chain!}
{Better luck next time.}
{Let's split into two (three) (four) groups.}
{You have shown great improvement}
{We need a little bit more practice}
{Easy prey}
{Too easy}
{Tough}
{Incredibly Tough}

If you plan to add translations for enemy (or pvp opponent) strength, which I fully support, please be sure to add ALL of the ones used in FFXI. They are useful references:

Too Weak to be Worthwhile
Easy Prey
Decent Challenge
Even Match
Tough
Very Tough
Incredibly Tough
Impossible to Gauge

The only reason I didnt add those in my post is because we don't have the same ranking system in this game. People who haven't played ffxi won't know the difference between tough or incredibly tough. Tough is tough is tough.

Still, each conveys a slightly different image of how the fight may end up, therefore i dont see why they wouldnt want to include all of them.

<Fabulous> in Auto-translate, make it happen.

And how do they cram all that graham into Golden Grahams?

I think the "I've done this fight before" may have some different results.

I.e. if you're the tank that decides to kite, position yourself different than expected, etc.

Could we also have these? i really need them!

{Bacon}
{I'm sorry but Mr. Kitty got loose in here and he is breaking vases and such}
{You are very fat}
{My opinion is better than yours no matter what you say}
{I don't bot}
{I know you don't bot, nobody does}
{This drop system is stupid}
{Well there you have it, enjoy!}
{I don't speak Mandarin}
{Would you like to go out sometime}
{I know you are really a guy!}

and finally this,

{I want this gear because it will make me look good when i am standing in town}

Thats all thank you.

the only issue i have with the auto-translation dictionary is not the amount of phrases it has, but rather the limited no. of "histories" it supports. Sometimes you want certain words and they dun pop up cos of the capped number you can have at anyone time.

For English if there are apps like text prediction software, kind of like how the smartphone has one but for PC with dictionary feature which you can add custom words it would work. There are text prediction software but dunno if they work in game and don't see any free ones, but just predicting the word isn't the goal it's.

1. predict the word in English
2. show translated option in Japanese/other language

Reason I say "For English" on Japanese Input on Windows you have custom dictionary and people made FFXI, FFXIV dictionary which pulls out all in-game terms, items, recipe just by typing few words, kind of like how the Kaomoji Dictionary works for the face ☆-(ノﾟДﾟ)八(ﾟДﾟ )ノｲｴｰｲ　<-- this stuff works just by typing "kao" (Face)
So in the JP dictionary you can add words like ファイア (Faia) and as you type ファ you will have the option of ファイア but also also show the English Fire as option

This is the most obnoxious part of using Autotranslate right now, hands down.

Please add

You are referring to the Windows IME not the auto translator. The Auto Translator works the same way regardless which language you use.

Hello guys,

As you all know, we were able to implement a lot of new words into the auto-translate dictionary for 1.23. Unfortunately, we didn't have enough time to get in all of your 【Fabulous】 suggestions. But do not fret! We will continue taking suggestions right up through 2.0 (and beyond) to further improve the feature, so if you have any ideas, keep adding them to this thread.

Cheers!

Words I would like:
"Camp"
"What job do we need?"


could we have "Camp" alone? not the camps name like Camp Horizon or such...

like when you want to say "should we camp here?" "move camp?" "camp near XXX" etc....
I think it could be useful

Also maybe "What job do we need?" I know there is something along "what job do you have?" but for instance when you recruited 5/6 person and wondering how to allocate the last spots it could be good.

"Skirmish" isn't in the auto translate. =P
