Your thoughts on queuing in DF with languages you don't understand / speak.

[FinaSel]

This is something I've started seeing more recently, and just wondering how prevalent it is, and what your thoughts are on this.

Even though I only select one language setting when I queue in DF, I sometimes get in a group with 1 or 2 people who do not understand that language at all.

By checking the Party List, I can see they have not selected it as a language they understand, and they cannot communicate with the group either.

Usually 6/8 people or 3/4 people will, indeed, have chosen that language as either the client language or one they understand. But the others will not have it chosen as one they understand. So, why did they select it when they queued for DF?

It's kind of tough for the group, because almost always, no one else in the group can understand them, so I have to translate. (Because I can speak their language).
(and 99% of the time, they don't even try to use the auto-translate feature...)

It's especially troublesome when, right before a boss, a DPS or healer says "hold on, be right back" and the tank and other player cannot understand that and begin to pull the boss.

Among my LS and FC mates, I've never seen anyone queue for a language they cannot understand.

Is this something that people do? Do they do it to get into a dungeon faster or is there some other reason?

And what are your thoughts on this?

Or is there some mechanic to the DF language settings when queuing that I am failing to understand?

Furthermore, why do you think we have the option to queue in DF for languages that we have not selected as languages we can understand (in the profile settings)?

So queue times aren't insanely long.

I know a lot of people do it on my server.
I don't think you should do it at all, especially if you're not going to use auto-translate. It's rude.

It's cool as long as we don't try to speak to each other. Then it's like we're in the Tower of Babel lol. Luckily few people talk in all the groups I've been in, so I guess I'm just lucky in that department.

We do it on Tonberry, since rest of data center is Japanese. Rarely any problems over here that I can tell.

If you know the auto-translate you don't need to know the languages.

(Please use the auto-translate function.)
(Gather together.)
(Full attack! )
(area of effect attack )
(I had fun today!)

but even mechanics are pretty simple to explain.

Ozma:
(Meteor), (left) and (rear).
(□), (tank) (left).
I think auto-translate is enough for 90% of the content.

[ElHeggunte]

I do it and if it becomes clear that there's a language barrier we've always managed with liberal use of auto-translate. That's exactly what auto-translate is for.

it's always fun in extreme mentor trials (obviously nobody knows the strategy either).

I que for all languages besides french.

1. Because I can't speak nor understand french, and they usually don't or refuse to speak english.
2. Because 90% of the french players I've been in a group with are terrible players. (no offence, I know there are good frenchies out there too :P)

Sooo ya :3
