Do the Japanese community use the Translator at all?

[Hycinthus]

I've come to learn that whenever I see a shout in Uldah, whoever is using [Looking for Members] [Please invite me], is always a member of the English speaking community.
I very rarely see the Japanese using the translator.

I'm curious to those that speak both languages, is it because the translator does not translate very nicely into Japanese? Like when I use [Experience Points] [You can have this], does it really translate well? Or is it incomprehensible what we're trying to say?

My point of using the translator when shouting is so that the Japanese can understand, and thus, it reaches a greater audience. But they don't seem to think the same. I start to feel like when they don't use translator, that we're being intentionally excluded from what they're advertising.
Thoughts?

very little would use it unless desparate 4 member to do content.

It's language barrier. Do they understand what you are trying to say? yes.

[Zetsumei_Tsunarashi]

Just because they can understand what you want to do doesn't mean they are going to want to do it with you. When it comes to actually doing the content, an auto translator isn't going to help very much. It's hard to explain with an auto translator "you need to stand on this little crack in the ground and don't cast any spells or skills until ifrit uses his skills."

I've been invited to JP groups because I shouted using the translator, so i'd say it works just fine.

Oh please. For the record no, not every JP understands english. A lot understand basic yes but that's where it ends for most, get their requirement then drop the language.

Kinda like americans who had to take spanish and never bothered to further it. The difference is, Americans tend to use auto translate to be lazy in their shouts, not to recruit other languages...you can say "but I do!" but I guarantee most use it to be lazy, this is where the problem lie and why people are confused about the JP not using it and no, it's not because of 'JP only'.

You have a point here actually. It is faster to start a sentence, and just press tab, and then you don't have to tailorize your shouts, and no need to be creative. Instead of "Excuse me, would anyone level 40 and above like to join and journey with us to Natalan for experience points?" , I can use "[Experience Points] [Natalan] [Looking for Members] 40+". I bet JP tailorize their message.

trauma from FFXI? NA pickup is just as bad in FFXIV.
