ACCURATE TRANSLATION FOR MULTIPLE LANGUAGES

[strong lynx]

i can't help but noticing that wynntils's auto translation is sometime extremely inaccurate, making non English speaker unable to understand the quest dialogues, will we have a /language command to swich language in vanilla ?

[prime fern]

No

[frail lantern]

I swear we had a thread like this

[prime fern]

several

[frail lantern]

atp we really should give up

[prime fern]

It's not happening. It's just genuinely far too much work

[strong lynx]

welp, i guess all we can do is asking wynntil devs to make better translation or find a separated translation mod

[prime fern]

wynntils translation goes through google translate i believe

[strong lynx]

yeh, and we all know that google translate suck at some level

hope they can apply gemini into translation or sth, that AI is free and does a very good job in translating

[solid carbon]

Wtf you mean wynntils

U know its wynncraft Server??

If you want wynntills translation go to wynntills Server

[lapis bane]

he wants wynncraft translation (vanilla), its just not gonna happen

[strong lynx]

i'm asking for a translation mode/command for vanilla wynncraft

not asking for an update for wynntil's translation

[frail lantern]

and that likely isnt happening

[junior thunder]

This happening in vanilla wynncraft is just not reasonable due to the amount of dialogue ingame and the amount of work required to maintain. Best bet is convincing wynntils devs to use something better than google translate 💔

[little snow]

that's how chat looks with every message if i translate to my language

[delicate sundial]

Just learn english 🤷‍♂️

[karmic egret]

Yeah it's cuz it translates the whole message including all the characters at the start, we need to make it separate the actual text message

There's been ideas floated around for improving the translations in Wynntils but none of the main devs have the time to dedicate to it atm

[pearl token]

they should add manual translations with google translate for the ones that dont have manual translations !!

[viscid oak]

ngl I dont think its necessarily fair for people to just outright deny it will ever happen

everyone would love to support more languages, but they are right its an astronomical amount of work

and isn't guaranteed and shouldn't be counted on for a long while

[ripe crown]

from my really quick math, the number of dialog lines from quests alone is probably in the high thousands if not low to mid ten thousands. now consider non-quest NPC dialogs, item lore and identifications, periodic announcement messages, and all kinds of text in GUIs. that's not even all of it. adding support for different languages is going to take a really long time even with a team of people who are extremely dedicated and knowledgeable

[karmic egret]

From a quick look voices of wynn has around 13k npc voice lines and that's not even complete afaik

So yeah it's a massive task, especially having to keep it up to date in case a single word changes

[ripe crown]

wow! and many of those voice lines are quite long

[thin wadi]

there are free tiers for AIs like this but once you have to use it at scale it becomes very hard to do

you could allow user to input their own api key which will grant them like 500 requests per day but that requires a bit of setup

[ripe crown]

and if you want to ensure that the end result is accurate, you need human verification

have fun doing that for over 13,000 lines of dialogue

per language

[opaque mauve]

i think if salted just locked in for a hour he could translate it himself

alas he is too busy on his yacht
