Miniguide to Autotranslate: Usage and potential pitfalls

I wish that auto translate is same like Google translate.

I wish that auto translate is same like Google translate.

I am curious from a game production stand point how feasible something like this is.

Would they have to make some sort of deal with Google that would lead to Google ads all over the place? Would they have to start their own translation software from scratch? Would it be problematic in implementing, making the chat interface heavy or things like that?

I've never seen anything comparable to Google Translate (which is far from perfect too) in any game and wondering when we will (not if, it'll certainly happen eventually, maybe years away but eventually).

It's not feasible. Best chance is for some 3rd party app or addon to do the job instead of SE doing anything official.
