things you wish that were on the auto-translator

Apart from being able to post translated version of items that you currently possess like in ffxi, I really wish some of the basic things would have been in the auto-translator, such as 'Goblin', 'part' (as in last part of the battle) etc

what about you?

NOTE
There already are many phrases built into the Auto Translator, especially Combat Related ones. Open up via Tab and scroll through the Tactics Tab to check them out!


Compiled Wish-list:

COMBAT
(] Danger [)
(] Poison [)
(] Please position enemy here. [)
(] Left to right. [)
(] Right to left. [)
(] Advance/ [)
(] Fall back. [)

General Social Interactions
(] This is my first time [)
(] Good afternoon. [)
(] forgot [)
(] Team [)
Names of LOCATIONS such as Bentbranch Meadow, Redrooster Steed etc
Basic Colours
Names of prominent Enemies

"Please stop standing in fire."

"Please tank the other mobs, too."

"Help, the monster is eating me!"

"NOOO TANKING THE DRAGON IN THE POISON HEALS HIM!"

"I can't heal you taking the frontal cone to the face while you're standing in poison."

"It's not okay to stand in that!"

"Please stop tanking. You are a DPS. -_-"

"Please stop standing in fire."

"Please stop standing in fire."

"IF YOU DON'T STOP STANDING IN THAT I'M GOING TO LET YOU DIE."

"Sorry, my heal buttons don't work on people who stand in fire."

"I forgot what Cure II does when you told me I was an idiot for not being able to heal you standing in the unhealable fire pit thing. Sorry."

"Hey, moron, the red area on the floor is where the OUCH! is coming! Don't stand there!"

Okay, seriously, you know what I'd really like to be in the auto-translator? "Buffing." As in "I'm buffing the party; please stand still while I do that."

there is a 'Stay there.' phrase translated. you could even go 'Protect', 'Stay'.

"Brb poop"

@liadanswhisper

LOL

ok indeed, there is another one that was in XI - 'Danger'. there were many times i wanted to say 'Danger', 'Please check it.' but i couldn't ><

and not even 'poison' is in the translator it's kinda o.o

I've had to explain to more than one DPS that when I say "fire" I mean "anything that eats the Stoneskin I just put on you." But convincing BLMs to just, you know, not tank for a while is tough. It's tough being a BLM when you attack the mob the tank marked as "do not touch."

Good Afternoon

i wish there were more "please bla bla" auto translate

There are (] Please do not attack [) and (] Please use it sparingly. [)... but whether or not they listen is not about the translator ^^;

Instead of just "Healer" it would be nice to have "White Mage" and "Scholar" for instance
Because in a group with the two, if we need to split it would be nice to say
"White Mage" > "Paladin", "Scholar" > "Warrior" or something like that
"Team" would also be nice

Locations!

At least the aetheryts pls, this would be a really, really great beginning!

Class/job names are already in Auto-Translate

Pretty much all items.

It's very hard to communicate what you're looking for/offering precisely when people don't use the same language.

Speaking of which, the possibility to link said items in the chat log would be very nice, along with a tooltip when hovering on these links. It's kinda maddening to have to write manually a list of attributes or a description to tell someone what an item does/is, especially for equipable stuff.

Job and class names are already in the auto-translator haha. I just checked.

"Please position the enemy here."
"Leave asleep monsters until last."
"Move away from the obstacle."
"Wait for the patrolling monster."
"Stay behind me."
"Wait until I engage the monster."
"Please move over here."
"Stand here."
"Avoid the area of effect."
"Fight these first."
"Fight these last."
"Left to right"
"Right to left"
"Let's move foreward."
"Let's step back."
"Please attack the additional enemies."
"I'll fight this one, you attack the additional enemies."
"Meatkabob"

"WTF" "WTH" "Brb... Wife aggro" "Brb... Diaper duty"

I'd also like to see the translator made a little bit easier to use. The current interface is a little harder to manage than the one from XI was.

It's a little odd that they expect you to shout for chimera/hydra parties when as far as I can see chimera at least isn't in the Auto Translate dictionary. Same thing with "Odin" and several other smack-you-in-the-face-it's-that-obvious names/locations.

One thing I'd really like to see is AT searching for any phrases that contain the word you just typed, instead of relying on you to know the beginning of the exact phrase it appears in.

Names of all items need to be in the translator. I had one HECK of a time trying to ask another crafter the other day if they had any Grade 4 Carbonized Matter. Turns out, a commonly-used shortcut for such a thing by the JP's is to just say, "G4", or "G3", for "Grade 3 Carbonized Matter."

Anyways...that stuff should be in there. Even if they are named with english-spelling names on the JP client, it should still be in the auto-translator as a selectable translation, for those of us who are unsure.

<|Elvaan|> <|meat|> <|Greatsword|> <|Inside|> <|Tarutaru|> <|secret|> <|Entrance|> <|Can I have it?|>
