I'll start this as I start all my posts. If someone has already asked this, sorry for being redundant.

My question is, has there been put out any information (from DEVs, producers letter, etc) that states the justification behind not including the auto-translation function in the "Search" dialog box?

I believe the lack of tab-text hinders people from using the "Search" feature (which already has issues, but that's a different post) for two reasons:

1) People use, or at least want to use the "Search" feature for more than just XP pts. The problem lays in determining what type of events people are searching for. There could be at this moment a JP group with 7 people already looking for an 8th to enter Moogle. I could be sitting in town with my "Search" set to read "Moogle/Ifrit/Garuda". If no one in that group can read english, I don't get invited. They continue to seek, ultimately disbanding, and I continue to be bored.

2) I can't spell.

So I ask again, is there a viable reason for the lack of auto-translate in "Search"? Or is this another "You'll see it in 2.0!"
