I want this to be COPIED AND PASTED from FFXI

[Anathiel]

I have a question about auto translate....for instance <lie> does that mean like: I'm lying to someone? or that I'm going to lie down? Don't know how you would be able to make some very..."vague" terms more distinct. english is pretty tricky, but...there are some really grey ones in ff:xi.

EDIT:...lie was a bad example. but I hope you get what I mean.

I think that particular example could be solved by having the phrases "Lie down" and "Tell a lie" as options for the English client, while the word "lie" all by itself wouldn't be available at all. This same method of using a phrase in place of a single word could definitely help to clear up a lot of confusion over words with multiple meanings.

Any chance we can get a /translate command? Something to add existing items and/or areas into our auto-translate dictionaries? Often times I have to restart the game to get something I want into the auto-translate, but after zoning I lose it again >.>

Example:

/translate "Felt Trousers"

adds Felt Trouser to your translate dictionary

Here's a better idea: just make it so that every player always has access to every single term all the time.
