Auto-translation dictionary addition(s).

[Len]

Could you please consider creating some additions to the auto-translation dictionary?

The auto-translation dictionary is without an entry for the word caravan. This addition would be helpful in organizing groups for caravan.

Also, for hamlet defense, when grouped with members who A) Don't speak English B) Cannot distinguish between Sanguine Humours, Phlegmatic Humours, and Melancholic Humours, it would be helpful to have the terms: red, blue, and green to use in auto-translation, or any other colors relevant to gameplay.

[Kowen]

I'd also like to suggest that if they were to add colors, they put "(Color)" at the end of each entry.

I know that probably seems superfluous, but it'd keep, for example, not-so-bright English speakers from using <Green> to refer to Gysahl Greens and having people of other languages not understand at all. I always hated seeing <May><bee> used for "maybe" in FFXI...

[Fernehalwes]

Great suggestion Len (and Kowen).

I'll speak with the man in charge of the auto-translate dictionary and see if we can get some colors added to the list.

Thank you, and feel free to let us know if there are any more terms you'd like to see.

Need some words to define your role in a party, such as "Tank", "Damage Dealer", and "Healer". Could also use "Ranged Damage Dealer", and "Magic Damage Dealer".

I think healer might be there already, but the other two are definitely missing.

I was going to make a new thread but this is perfect place to post this.

Can "walk" be added to the auto translate. I've been through Darkhold several times and whenever we get to the ghosts there is usually somebody who does not understand. Many needless deaths have happened because somebody goes running through and gets swarmed.

[Estellios]

I'd like to suggest "Is it alright if I join?" and either "I have done this before" or "I know what to do".

I've been wanting to join random groups for Hamlet Defense but they have all been JP Only, I'm hoping that if they know that I know what to do they wouldn't worry about inviting someone that doesn't speak their language.

Edit: Also I believe we still don't have "Home Point" in the auto-translate.

I'm pretty sure they know that you understand what to do. The problem is they know you and them won't be able too communicate. And they want to avoid any awkward situations that this could lead too since they would then appear impolite.

I know this is quite the redundant word, but I'd like the word [Affection] added. I used it all the time in FFXI, now that it's not available in FFXIV I feel that it's almost impossible to share my Lalafell affection towards other Lalafellians.

This is what EMOTES ARE FOR.

People stop asking for terms that exist already in some form in the in game dictionary. The fact that people ask for such terms without knowing that a similar term exists that has the same meaning is not going to help. It make it harder to find the term you are looking for. Clearly you haven't even checked yourself if you have to say "I think a term doesn't exist" instead of "I know it doesn't exist."

Front Line Class, Support Line Class, and Rear Line Class already exist. These work. I don't know if you can translate words like "Tank" since their may not be an equivalent for the other languages. Or you might get a word meaning "a large drum for holding liquid/a body of water" which is what you'd get if you looked up "tank" in the dictionary.

Front Line Class, Support Line Class, and Rear Line Class already exist. These work.

I'm gonna have to disagree with you here. The problem with these phrases is they are too vague.

For example if you say "Front Line Class" are you talking about a close-range damage dealer like Monk or Dragoon ? Are you talking about a tank like warrior or Paladin ? If you are talking about warrior, do you need a tank or a damage dealer ?

If you say "Support Line Class" are you looking for a healer ? A buffer ? An enfeebler ? A pet class ?

If you say "Rear Line Class" you must be talking about either black mage or bard. But if you're talking about bard, does this mean you don't want any buffs ? If so, shouldn't you say "Support Line Class" ?

It's all very convoluted and frankly unusable in my opinion.

can we have a /translate. find it annoying where i cant use terms unless someone else has used them recently

/translate isn't the problem. The problem is that various categories have capped amount of terms they are able to hold. Once you reach the limit they can't hold anymore. In order to clear the lists you have to logout to the character selection screen and log back in. Besides /translate doesn't do as advertised. Shouldn't it.
