/say dialogue animations?

They could start with the auto translated phrases

I'm talking about the Japanese Language's differences from the English language, not auto-translate. By that, I'm referring to the fact that they use Kanji, Katakana, and Hiragana for various forms of text communication. Can you imagine an entire dictionary's worth of context-sensitive programming work for each of these language types? And the fact that some Japanese use two or more of these languages interchangeably?

Yeah, no. That would be a nightmare.

Hiragana, katakana, and kanji are all part of one Japanese language. They are not individual languages.

What I meant was, they could associate some emotes with some phrases in the autotranslate. Like (What?) and (Huh?) and others lol

I made a thread on this a few days ago and that is pretty much what I would like, some sort of auto emote system for certain things in chat. So if you typed lol you would laugh, if you typed ; ; you would cry. When you chat your character could move their arms and shuffle as though they are talking. When chatting in LS chat you could hold a finger to your ear so it looks like you are talking/listening into the Linkpearl, add some emotes you can do while running like /wave and /panic just little touches like that.

The thread is here if you want to look at it, though it didn't get many replies ; ;
