You know what's weird. If they refused to use Auto Translate, I'll use google Translate (Not an option for some Alt-Tabbers).

They don't seem to be happy with that either.

...not sure why?

try translating english to japanese, then translate that japanese to english lol..

? I still use Auto Trans. They're the ones who won't use it. I use Google Trans for what -they're- saying.

Is Auto-Trans some how more difficult to use for JP?

[JackDaniels]

No, I meant do it in google translate. For example

Would you like to join our experience points party? = あなたは、いくつかの経験点は、弊社に参加したいですか？= You will experience some point, do you want to join us?

And that was my last post for real real this time xD cya guys on monday

I honestly think that the majority of US players use the Auto-Translate function not as a means to ensure proper understanding by all languages, but rather as a means of the quickest way to finish a sentence without having to pay attention to spelling, LOL.

So, yeah.

A fully functional auto-translate function would be an answer to the problem. Thanks for civility, muchly appreciated. I didn't mean to come off so abrasive, someone pissed in my cornflakes this morning, and seeing a constant flood of squigle text without a single auto-translate perturbed me.

It seems like SE could do a lot with this, very easily. I don't see why they can't simply add a few hundred even auto-translates. Sort by category, type the first bit in your language, see the texts that come up, pick the one you're looking for. You could have a huge amount still able to be sorted in this way. Keep the faster or even have a custom-tailored AT for fights. Hit the button, 1-3. Got 9x9 messages available to you on the fly. Add a layer to square it again.

It wouldn't surprise me if they could even grab a couple bilinguals off the forums to do all this. They should at least make a sticky thread asking for what ATs they'd like to see added to the game.

Edit: Personally I found it easiest to just learn Japanese, but only because I was already interested in learning. I'm noticing it's a long process.

A quick note, I usually go ahead and translate the kanji one-by-one if I don't know it. As for Google translate, separate anything that can be both noun and verb. Be sure to attach enough context so the translator will know which. Copy-paste it into the total result.

You really can get a pretty large percentage of what they're saying off about 20 words and knowledge of conjugations. I can make a list later if you like.

I wouldn't party with someone whose character looks like a drunk either. lol

I love playing with different ppl, theres always gonna be someone out there from all nationalities that is a huge ass, it doesnt matter where you come from. If you dont like it you can go learn the language so you can talk to them, that is one thing i think FFXI did very well, it was such a good game that it made alot of ppl go out and wanna learn Japanese so they could play with them.

This could be solved easily with the implementation of regional servers and global servers. Let people have a choice.
