Translation System
 

I'm not sure if it's possible to make this, but if it is, then I think it would be a great add-on.


Translation System:

Each time you send a PM to someone, you write it down in whatever language you normally speak with, and when the person you sent the message to recieves the PM, the message will be translated based on the language they selected to be in their client. So, if I have an English set client, and I message someone with a German set client, then when I send my message in English, they will recieve it in German.

This would be beneficial for English players to understand servers such as Atlantis and such, and those players that are not native to English, will be able to speak with others without a problem.

Do you want this as a script or built into Graal?

Built into the client.

That would be hard to do. Usually translators do not conjugate the words correctly. Plus, you'd have to take into account that some people would no doubt use improper grammar and slang.

Well, if the translation system had a spell checker, then when you send a PM with improper grammar, it will tell you "The message could not be sent due to the imporper grammar in the message, please correct the gramatical errors and resend" or so? Would definitely get people to stop acting like they're "gangsters".

Just a suggestion.

Might want to make sure that the error message has the proper grammar too lol.

I don't like this idea, sorry.

Yes, that's a bad idea, there's already a "translate" button (although it doesn't work at the moment... should be fixed), that's enugh.
Not until we've got intelligent Computers that can translate correctly :)

same :(

Not feasible.

I will talk however I want in a PM, thanks.

whenever I recieve a PM that I can't understand I assume they're speaking in tongues and I try to cast whatever devil that is in them, out.

'whazup nigga, what hav u b33n up to' ?

How would Graal translate that ? :)

I think it's a good idea, but like Kai said, it just isn't feasible.

Haha.


Everyone should just learn English. That's the easiest solution.

It would direct the person to the hooked-on-phonics website.

I disagree. L34rn1ng th3 ][/\/t3rn37 t4lk 15 pr0b4b1y eas1er a5 th3n w3 d0nt n33d th3 gr4mm3r ru1es 4nd c4n surv1v3 w1th 0n1y kn0w1ng h4lf th3 l4ngu4ge.

Yes everyone, Spark does normally speak like this :cool:

some translators like altivista has doesnt translate slang and its gangsta :-/ if your gona dis us get it right homes

Gangsta is slang for gangster, mr. Thug Life.

Gah. Just close this thread already? It was answered a long time ago.

What happened to the whole "This message could not be sent" thing. How would you direct someone if you never got the message.

That whole idea in general is fine, but yeah, its just not feasable. Slang and grammatical errors just get in the way of everything. Even if you had the "This message could not be sent" portion, I get maybe 2 messages a day where someone types in full grammatical potency. Everyone else uses slang or abbreviations for everything.

If you're blocking messages like that with grammatical errors then you're basically forcing everyone on graal to talk and type perfectly. Something tells me that's not right. Oh yeah, logic.

Don't apply to logic what can be applied to common knowledge.

I like this idea, and I don't see how it is all that hard. You could have a combo box that has two or three languages and then "[Custom]" that would allow someone to message anyway. Would this improvement end being barely used? Yeah. Still is a nice addition, but nothing to get in the way of game additions.

Straight up, "g." :redface: :rolleyes:

Let him talk the way he wants. All the sudden he is a thug because he talks like that? *sigh*

homes im from the streets yo!

Most of americans speak like that.

no not true I SPEAK LIKE THAT becuse im a G most apericans just say like alot as in "like the bird flew down from the tree and like landed on my shoulder i was like oh my gosh!"

I just think you're illiterate.

I was referring to his custom title, I guess you were too blind to notice it.

Ya ^_^
Sorry I don't look at everyone's title before posting? o_O

ok im gona keep from talking about your mom in this one but im in excel english so wana try agin? i may be illiterate in spanish becuse well dang how long has it been since i spoke spanish? oh well nevermind.

Your age is 14, but your mentality is leveled with the toddlers.

yah sure why not but i dont have the brain of a toddler i am childish.

zim, if you would just use punctuation people could understand you a lot better. Start small and use commas. Then work your way up to using periods. After you have mastered the art of using punctuation, then start using (semi) correct grammar.

Remember, this is the Internet. You are your words.

Let me fix your sentence:

Yeah sure, why not? I don't have a brain. I am childish.

And this is the reason why I eliminated 'English Teacher' as a possible career option.

Sorry... you're a... G?

What might that be?

He's a gangsta. ;)

i actually want to be a dective or a engineer.
