Chinese?

I’d just like to say that there is respect to be had on both sides. Most games I play like this have separate channels by languages. Some go unused, sure, but they are there if someone ever wants them. That’s respectful. And then alternate languages can speak whatever the channel is designated for even if it’s not their native language, they know which one to speak to get the most ears, responses. That’s respectful too.

One game I played was predominately Chinese, because the developers were - so, of course the main chat was Chinese. I never saw it as “dominance.” I would never dilute their main chat with English, out of respect. But they had a channel for English speakers that I used. I don’t speak Chinese, but if I did I would have sometimes used the main channel and used their language out of respect.

The key is having a choice of channels, and of course, respect. 😄

It would be easy to have a category for alternate languages that has channels in it available for those languages.

But as for the main channel, I believe the developers primary language is English so the main chat makes sense as is and wouldn’t be under the alternate language category. Just remain the main chat channel

These days there's just no excuse for apps like Discord not having auto translation automatically enabled. Heck, I can paste an image into ChatGPT these days and get a near perfect translation of all the text right in the image. This has to happen soon, it's just so trivial to implement now. We should all be able to interact with each other in our own native language and the interaction should be seemless.

Paid version right, cause in the free version we can't upload images

Yeah, I use it all day long and pay for GPT4. I think you can get GPT4 through microsoft bing free still though. The free options keep changing as all the companies vie for position in the rapidly changing field.

Oh, I see, will check
