Useful JP terms (JP/EN translation)

[Mikita]

If I recall correctly, there is a drop down menu under Regional and Language settings where you need to set Japanese as the language to use for non-Unicode programs. You may need to set this before you can type in Japanese in FFXIV?

I don't think that's needed for FFXIV (not sure) but I thought that's only for programs that has stuff like JP menu and stuff.

Oh, sorry. ^^;
I always need to make sure that is set because my OS is English, and I thought that setting was necessary to use Japanese in many programs.

You can type through the IME in the game just like you do any other way.

The tricky part is you need to have your chat log active before you try and switch inputs. Switching your IME without a active text box will cancle it out as soon as you start inputing any characters giving the illusion that it doesn't work. But it does work I type Japanse in XIV all the time.

Thats the part I was missing! I tried using IME but it didnt work lol...ill test it out when servers are back online

Can you translate "Change to (job) please?" or "Do you have (job)?"

That's the only thing I ever really have trouble communicating. :P

Good one,

Change to __(job)__ please = __(job)__ になってもらえますか？　__(job)__ ni natte moraemasuka?
Do you have __(job)__ ? = __(job)__ もってますか？ __(job)__ motte imasuka?
Can you do __(job)__? = __(job)__ できますか？ __(job)__ dekimasuka?

I'll add it to the list now.

@Onizuka - I added some of the stuff you requested in the doc also

Cool, thanks.

Also, how about the new dungeons and bosses?

カッターズ

オラもボスまでやってない、コインカウンターだっけか？　I'll add them in ^^

-------------

Also this is just to help out get events and stuff going but here's one for the Ifrit runs which I posted on other thread but might be useful for others.

-------------
Did 3 runs last night with open invites and on the party recruit system.
1. Leave purpose and location at default.
2. Set up the party - make sure to put the class/jobs you need and set it to 50-50 so you don't get someone lower
3. In the comment section type copy/paste this.

真イフやります、経験のある方で参加したい方いましたら参加してください。　__(time)__ やります
Doing Ifrit __(time)__'s if you are experienced and want to join, please join.

---
Now just shout same thing but add this at the end.
PT募集の内容読んでからお願いします、Please check class details on party search and join.

---
At end of the comment if you're scared it's all going to be JP you can also add this.
私は日本語話せませんがよろしければどうぞ
I can't speak Japanese but if you would like please join.

EDIT: If Reps reading this... would be nice if you can relay message to devs to be able to use auto translate in this comment section in player recruit feature since that will greatly improve it and don't want to do stuff like this (posting multiple languages in the comment)

Updated some more.

If any of you have better suggestion to improve the spreadsheet let me know, thanks~
