Liq Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 Not trying to be racist or anything here. Just thinking for the Future it might be handy to have a global chat channel option for each of the main languages. I get the impression that the people not understanding english often have a hard time trying to communicate with others. Their messages often get lost, or it turns into a "speak english ffs" shitshow. (Looking at the future localizations and possible influx of players speaking all sorts of languages) 5
Hethwill, the Red Duke Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 Definitely Help channels for the official languages. 3

Been asked for all MUDs and MMOs out there since the 90's
Hethwill, the Red Duke Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 You made your point twice i guess everyone got it. Back to the subject. 2

I don't see a need for something like that. We already have different languages on global and I just accept that I won't be able to understand what these folks are saying. I did like the idea of different chat channels for the major languages. Our one global channel gets somewhat crowded at times with Cyrillic. Imagine if we get an influx of Chinese. 1

Angus MacDuff Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 How many Global Chat channels would you do, is the question.....English, German, Russian, French, Spanish, Dutch, Swedish, Danish, Chinese (Mandarin & Cantonese?), Japanese…..Hindi?? I know a lot of the Euro players speak English so maybe some of them can be skipped? I guess we'd better add the American language so that they can have their political debates (as a favour to the rest of us). (What about an all Pyrate language?? Arrrrrr! Shiver me timbers, matey!)
Hethwill, the Red Duke Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 Is about Official languages planned by GL NA dev team ( and localization done by them,), not all the other languages.
Angus MacDuff Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 Just now, Chevalier du Ethuville said: Is about Official languages, not all the others. Define official. The OP suggested Chat channels for each of the main languages, but is Chinese a "Main language"? We've got along fine with one global channel for the in-game nations. Are they the "official" languages of the game? Devs are localising and there may be several new languages (Chinese for sure, but I don't know what others). Do they become official?
Hethwill, the Red Duke Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 Developers stated the official localization languages. German, Russian, French, ( a couple more maybe, need to find that info ) but definitely not Italian, Afrikaans, Gallician... and everything else you can come up with.
Capn Rocko Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 It would be nice to have a global trade chat for WTB/WTS Thats a language right? 😉 1
Vizzini Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 Players can restrict the language used in their own clan if they wish. The rest will always be open to all as it should be i play for France but am English and there are a number of others in my nation who also struggle with French, but try and get along with all Global and Nation chat don't even have to be used if the players decide they don't want to , no need for rules that could further allienate players who aren't multi lingual 1

So have our small team write a version of google translate? I don’t think that’s going to happen. Imagine all the different languages one would hear in the waterfront taverns of the world. I’m okay with multiple languages showing there. I do sometimes wish that those who wish to carry on extended conversations would switch to private messages. Or switch to a language I DON’T understand. 😂 1

That's one of the enchantments of port towns even in our modern marvellous world, especially in harbour downtowns. A night out and a dozen languages being spoke in the same pub.
The Wren Posted January 27, 2019 Posted January 27, 2019 This could be the perfect opportunity for Esperanto to make it's second debut!! It could work this time! 1
