    [Suggestion] Duty Finder and language barriers

    Hello, I have certain issues with the Duty Finder. Me and a bunch of guys started to do weekly Diadem runs, however despite of how often I tell people to enable ALL languages in the settings, people forget, or don't know how, and we're split up, sometimes jumping between all languages, and English only, but we don't have contact with all the players quing, so it doesn't work perfectly.

    I genuinely feel that with <auto-translate> as an option, language is less of a problem, and even if one were to insist on certain people not wanting to have to deal with people where auto-translate is the only means of communication... I genuinely feel that once a player waited for over 30 minutes for a Duty to start, they won't be upset when it starts, and they get to play with someone who only speaks French

    I feel like this change would benefit everyone.

    SE should probably set it to default to "all languages", but I suppose the EU data center might make that difficult since people who don't speak the same language might be upset at repeatedly getting people who don't know how to use auto-translate.

    Actually the game kinda needs a defacto auto-translate-to-voice. eg any auto-translate commands would be spoken by the character unless muted. That would at least create audio cues for players who can't read the chat.
