ex: Chinese since when most people are typing in a other language I do not want to open up google translate
#translate other languages in the chat

Most of the game is translated (use the globe icon for switching languages)

Oh. I've checked and translation services could be expensive. Some would cost 10-20x our revenue. One reason for that is it would have to translate most messages to every possible language someone might want to read it in.

Google translate is free for users but very expensive for developers

makes sense that ive seen no auto translate chats before
steel trout
the most problem is that
some Chinese may say "你在搞什么飞机", and what he/she want to express is "What the hell are you doin" but google translate may translate it into "What are you doing with the plane" because it's literally mean that
and we got idioms like "亡羊补牢" which Literally means "mend the fold after a sheep is lost" and it's actually meaning is "Correct the mistake as soon as you know it."
and many other...
Including but not limited to :
irony
Homophonic (this cannot be reflected in other languages)
Strange Pinyin Initial "Abbreviation"
and for this
Strange Pinyin Initial "Abbreviation"
There is an extreme example (we won't use it in daily chat but it's an example
the word "哪个"
read as "nǎ gè"
means "Which one"
and the most extereme abbreviation is
n-g-
oops
don't ban me im just giving an bad example to show the idea is not so good
and many Chinese players are just saying
"和平" mean "peace"
"别打我"/"别攻击我" mean " don't attack me"
"(a name) 我劝你冷静/善良" mean "(a name) i hope you to be chill"( wanna express "don't attack me or i will attack you)
"(a name)是人机吗" mean "Is (a name) a bot?"
"(a name), 联盟？" mean "(a name), can we be allay?"
