    Auto-Translate and 'The'

    On the European data centers, it’s common to encounter French or German players, and some dungeon/trial names are have very different names, that I cannot properly communicate which one I mean, so Auto-Translate comes to my help, but .... it's a bit rough to use. With the way the English language works, a lot of these names have “The” as the first word, which means that the only way to communicate that name, is to type “the” and go over a crazy long list of possible terms (currently 21 pages). I find this terribly inconvenient, and since the underscore character isn’t used at all, I wondered if it couldn’t replace the empty space to allow for those longer terms like… “the_tam” to get “The Tam-Tara Deepcroft”, "the_ri" for "The Ridorana Lighthouse", "the_lim" for "The Limitless Blue", etc. I do feel that it could be a nice “quality of life” update that would help in communication.

    I don't even play on EU servers but I find this to be a little annoying as well, if I try to look up a dungeon name in game all it gives me is a bunch of things that start with the instead of the actual dungeon name, so it can be a pain to try and narrow it down. Must be much more annoying on EU servers where you would need to actually communicate in a timely manner.

    I thought you type 'The <XYZ>' and you get all names that start like that? Was that changed?

    WOAH!!!! I cannot believe it! This actually works! Despite a space, it did catch the 'The" word.
    "The Rid" did result in "The Ridorana Lighthouse"

    I could have sworn this didn't work in the past... I think..... I apologize, I didn't know!!!!!

    It checks your last two words for matches so we don't have to navigate long lists of "the thing" and "wind-up thing". But it will work for any two words.

    My personal annoyance with autocorrect is that it uses "I'm sorry" instead of just "sorry" which makes it harder and slower to locate.

    I'm fairly certain that every country understands 'sorry', though. xD

    Not if it's written in another language though! And if you just type "sorry" and hit the translate button, you get nothing. You have to know the first word to find it at all.

    auto translate is a pain to use that way, just wish you got all the results containing the word you type.
