Some suggestions, mostly quality of life, obvious things

Not quite sure if this fits this thread, but I think it would be nice if the Auto-translate feature had some degree of search/filtering functionality.

This might work like so:

Start chat input.
Open Auto-translate popup.
Type in terms. As terms are entered, the Auto-translate popup would enter a sub-menu, like the normal Auto-translate sub-menus, except that it would populate its pages of phrases dynamically based on what phrases match part of the terms entered.
One could then navigate the sub-menu's pages and select the desired phrase in the same manner as other Auto-translate sub-menus, or, as usual, press Escape/cancel to return to the main Auto-translate menu.

In terms of how matching is done, I think it would be best to ignore the order terms are entered in; also, case should be ignored.
I'm not sure if it's best to add any phrase that matches any term to the dynamic menu, or only those that match all terms; the former is better if you aren't sure what you're looking for, the latter if you are.
Of course, this matching would have to take into account the client's language or it won't be matching anything useful.

So if I started typing: "th y"
As soon as I typed 't', the Auto-translate menu would enter its dynamic submenu and populate with phrases containing 't'.
As I typed 'h', it would repopulate the menu with phrases containing "th"
Whitespace would end the current term and start a new one, so 'y' would be a new term. Thus the menu would populate with any phrases matching those terms (whether both or either term, I'm not sure).

So rather than trying to remember that I have to hit 2, right arrow and 7 to say "Thank you", I can just type "th y" and select from far fewer options. If I don't mind typing, I could just type "Thank you" and select what is probably the one remaining option.
Maybe it's just me, but I think this would be very convenient.

On windows version you can just type h and then push tab and you get everything with a h, if you type he and then tab, you get everything with he.
I use auto translate often, to type fast.

Spaces don't work in this.

With teleports I always pop up map and see what the name is for the area that is closest where I must be. (Well I did a lot, now I know most out of my head)
While I would like that this will be done better, I find it pretty unimportant, since with map it works pretty well, I prefer they focus first on other things, before adding little useful things.
(Don't get me wrong, I do want it also, but I don't find it a high priority)

I had no idea this feature existed! While maybe not quite as powerful as what I suggested, this should still make Auto-translate a lot more convenient to use.
Thank you!

Greetings,

While it will be after patch 2.2, we will be making it easier to see where you are teleporting to by displaying a map next to the teleport window.

Lol, more toys for noobs. I just hope this thing is 'off' by default. 75% of ARR features just take up space/ resource and (I for one) can do w/o them.

If you seriously don't know where your being teleported to(and you need a map??), continue exploring because probably you haven't been there yet.

PS: Why not segregate players by type and give them their own servers. Suppose the legacy players are veterans but want the game as is, not "sprinkled" with glitter. More of reason why I still play FFXI because its "harder" but I fear its days are numbered.

I would love the teleport menu to just say the guild name it goes to...(some cities have this)
The gates to say: Yellow Serpent Gate (North Shroud)
Camps to say: Fallgourd Float (North Shroud)

This would be very helpful and take way less time then the map which could come 2.2 This could be put in easy. I thought they were going to fix Limsa with its messed up telenames.

Good idea, this would be actually better for me, then a map.
