Minigame idea: Translate the word.

[vague ingot]

🍂 Here I leave you an idea that came to my mind, and I think it would be very fun. Please, read the entire suggestion before giving your opinion respectfully. <3

So, the host would send a word in a different language and the first person to say how the word is in English wins. (Ex: Host says "hola" and people have to say "hi/hello". Also, I don't think this would be very hard to host, since the way to see who wins is like in the other minigames we have where you have to guess something. Another positive point is that this way we have more variety with minigames since some of them get repetitive.

State your opinion below! Please remember to respect other opinions, and always discuss respectfully! Thank you so much for reading!

boost

[fading stirrup]

OOOO yess this is such a good ideaa!! i love this so BOOST!

[elder root]

THATS SO CUTEYEA

as long as it isnt complicated words!!!

[vague ingot]

yh

[granite salmon]

omh yes this is so cute even tho i speak 1 language

[grizzled bison]

why not! but cognates may be annoying lol

[covert marten]

i think to those who solely speak one language, it could cause an unfair advantage for others if others don't know much. especially our younger audience c:

its a lovely suggestion though!

[warped sonnet]

I agree with aria, we have a very young playerbase and it would be unfair on those who don’t speak other languages as they literally wouldnt be able to play the game without searchinf up on google which by that time someone will already have it anyway !

[nocturne yarrow]

i like this

[vague ingot]

Yeah, I understand it can be a bit difficult for people who only speak one language but we would send easy and common words. Also, I think that if we stick to that, guess the song is difficult when you don’t listen to that type of music or that singer, or in trivia when you’re not familiar with the theme.

[meager frost]

this

[hidden iron]

I AGREE!! i think if it was like easier words such as 'hola' or 'bonjour' which are pretty common i think its a great idea!

[solemn tapir]

i disagree

[solemn tapir]

this sums it up pretty well

[solemn tapir]

what’s fun w every word saying hi

[hidden iron]

it was just examples, it ofc can be others

[solemn tapir]

if it’s not hi , then it’s unfair

not everyone understands other languages

• cognates would make it so annoying

[grizzled bison]

it doesnt have to be ‘hi’

it could be ‘good day’, ‘goodbye’

[solemn tapir]

how’s it gonna b fun

[grizzled bison]

Its just a guessing game

[solemn tapir]

it js isn’t thrilling or exciting

[hidden iron]

i feel like it would be cognates

[solemn tapir]

our younger player base would js be wanting to leave the game

[hidden iron]

well it was just an idea someone made

[solemn tapir]

ik

it’s js my opinion to the suggestion

[vague ingot]

^^^^

[hidden iron]

exactlyyy!!

[fading stirrup]

yess!!

[covert marten]

it's not necessarily about the type of song or trivia, it's the fact that we have a younger base and the majority won't know, even older people may only speak in English and usually we do more popular themes

[vague ingot]

That why we would ask popular words!

[covert marten]

but what im saying

is

our younger base

[vague ingot]

Yeah yeah, I understand it.

[covert marten]

wont know what " hola " means

but they'll know the song golden!

for example

[vague ingot]

For example, I don’t listen to that type of music, so it’s difficult to ask questions that everyone know!

[covert marten]

not everyone is going to know all of the songs but its more likely that they would have heard of them than translating words, i do think its a good idea but im just thinking of our younger audience

[vague ingot]

🫶

[hidden iron]

50/50 for me, there’s some younger kids that play. And yes- I understand what cognates are. I mean sometimes there’s difficulty with spelling in English for some, which will make it even harder. (IM NOT SHAMING) and I’m not talking about people who are learning English, I’m talking about little kids.

I feel like the thing will only be fair for the older kids/teens who play

[hidden iron]

Overall, I hope you didn’t take this as disrespectful! Just my opinion.

[vague ingot]

nono

dwww

u weren’t

[jagged trench]

I’m sure that it’s common sense, even for some younger players to know AT LEAST the most basic words in foreign languages, for example hola, bonjour. however, since there aren’t many common & easy words, it could get repetitive!

[trail vortex]

I honestly love the idea, if its mostly like easy words/languages then i would love for this to be a minigame.

[soft lance]

[soft lance]

[stone sorrel]

not sure if our younger players would get confused but i’ll bring it up

[meager frost]

im meh about this,
this would be cool but theres some younger players

[grizzled stag]

I just don’t think there are enough common words in other languages younger kids would know. Yes there’s words like ‘hola’ and ‘bonjour’ but both of those mean hi which majority of other common words also mean. I also think this would get repetitive from shift to shift because like I said before, there’s only so many words you can use.

I don’t think repeatedly translating hi, goodbye, and please would be very exciting and keep people engaged for 10 minutes.

[midnight sundial]

im pretty sure any child who has english at school learn what hello is

so this isn't really useful

[hidden iron]

Yeah, and people are saying “we can use easy words” but those words get pretty hard after hola 😭
