Auto-Translate Player Suggestions

[Callisto]

It would be nice if there was some sort of way to say you are changing characters, muling, etc.

[GuntarHolyFlame]

A word for "tank" (or shield) and "kiting" (or marathon).

Nyzul terminology: each objective, words like "lamp", "order" "simultaneously"...

Here here for all of this.

I'd like to have "Yoroshiku onegaishimasu" and "Otsukaresama deshita" in Japanese but I don't know if it's possible to find phrases that have a close meaning in English...

"Yorosiku" is actually translated from {Nice to meet you.} This is the reason JPs get confused when NA/EU use it at the END of a party, lol.

I don't know what the JP equivalents are, but I've seen Japanese players use {Good job!} and {See you again!} at the end of parties. These are likely "Yoku dekimasita!" and "Mata ne!".

Does anyone know of a list that shows the JP equivalents of all the autotranslate items?

[Alistaire]

for the love of god add [why?]. would make talking to JPs so much easier. also something to say 'On their way' would be helpful

I figured it was because "why?" always needs a more detailed answer than the other w's, so it'd be harder to answre in auto translate. If you can't answer in auto translate it's not all that useful to be able to ask in auto translate.

Didn't read the whole thread but "level" would be nice to add, and still bothers me that "Blue Magic" isn't in there. But hey, if we don't need <Blue Magic> auto translate why not just get rid of the others? Apart from seacoms saying you've got +16 <Elemental Magic> there's not really a lot of use for them.

Edit: And has anyone suggested to SE to change the way /check translates? It's pretty sad they made it so JP get a line basically saying "I'm stalking you" anytime they're checked.

[Absolutely Virtue]

Please god add "Maybe" so these idiots will stop using [May] [Bee]. Do they really think that translates to maybe? Are people honestly that fucking stupid?

[Seraph]

IF they add "Why?" they better add "Because." as well.

[Absolutely Virtue]

IF they add "Why?" they better add "Because." as well.

Also "Why not?"

[Octavious]

i always thought it was weird that they have zilart and aht urhgan avaliable but not promathia, [zilart] [aht urhgan]:O and i have to type coP:X and hope the jp know what it means

>_> I always just auto-translate "[World]O" assuming it makes more sense implying all outposts/expansions/etc. God knows if it actually makes any sense (probably doesn't) but i'm too lazy to type all the expansions out >_>;

GOOD LUCK

Why the hell is that note in auto-translate?

Hate/Enmity Termology would be good.
Magic Burst.
Doom/Doomed isn't neccessary as Death covers it. {Death} {Cursna} {Yes, please.}
Aggro.
As far as the emphasis on sneaking by mobs. {Sneak} {Invisible} {Please check it} {Hastega} {Yes, Please}.
Wide Scan. God yes.
Also, change {Sell?} into {Will you sell it?} Or {Want to buy}/{Looking to purchase}. I grew up with the whole people shouting WTS/WTB.

That's all I can name off hand.

Though, what's a proper term for aggro?

I think you are looking for a term to describe after aggro, because they already have "detects by X." Something like "Hey, this mob is now eating my face!"

I would like something close to "Tier" and it can't be Rank because Rank is specifically used for the Rank missions.

[Byrd]

All mission / Assault / Etc names, id settle with just assault names.

Assault and Quest names would be nice. Might be too many quests, but Assaults would be good. Also, Expansion Names:

"Rise of the Zilart," "Chains of Promathia," "Treasures of Aht Urhgan," "Wings of the Goddess" might make shouting for missions easier, although the abbrevations got adopted pretty easily.

muling = {Jumping to new area.} {/logout}

but i would really like to see widescan.

[Lordwafik]

Please god add "Maybe" so these idiots will stop using [May] [Bee]. Do they really think that translates to maybe? Are people honestly that fucking stupid?

This this this this this.

Also annoyed at no widescan, and no relic WS's. Anytime my JP friends are trying to talk to me about it we have to resort to (|Mandau|) (|Weaponskill|).

[Naash]

"Yorosiku" is actually translated from {Nice to meet you.} This is the reason JPs get confused when NA/EU use it at the END of a party, lol.

No, there's nothing starting by "yoroshiku", the one NA confuse the meaning of is "初めまして。" which you say when first meeting a person and not when disbanding like a lot of people do.

[Kisetai]

From my limited Japanese knowledge, I think it would be very difficult for SE to add "how many?" and "maybe" because the Japanese grammar for the two is very different than the English grammar is. Japanese uses different counters for different things, and so asking "how many?" for things such as a sheet of paper or a spool of thread would require a different translation for each. As for "maybe," the Japanese version is attached onto a verb, and wouldn't make sense translated by itself.

For fixing the translator, I'd like to see the translation of "how?" fixed, as Japanese members of my linkshell will ask "Job how?" using the translator. And while it makes sense to ask it that way in Japanese, it doesn't in English.

[Eldelphia]

muling = {Jumping to new area.} {/logout}

but i would really like to see widescan.

I wouldn't know what you meant by that lol... it would sound like you meant you were logging to me.

{Jumping to new area} Storage Character or something would work

[Mabon]

How about {Joke} or something along the lines of {j/k lol}... I was recently kicked from a jp party for saying {Have stuff to do, gotta go} {Besieged} when the besieged message flashed across the screen. >.>

Also, I thought they said a while ago they were adding relic weaponskills? Anyone else recall this?

[Gwynplaine]

Another one, Replacement. Or something similar.

Another one, Replacement. Or something similar.

I so needed this last night. I was in a very good pick up xp party last night in the high 50's. All JP save for the leader and I, and he passed me the leader when he had to log (thanks for that) to invite his rep. Turned out the rep was JP.

We were blazing along but eventually I had to go to sleep. The other people in the party were higher level than I was, some significantly, and we were sync'd to me.

I finally just gave up on trying to think of a way to use the auto translate to ask, "What level should we sync to if I get a replacement?." In my experience most JPs understand 'rep,' but the conversation was just too complicated for me to figure out. I normally love autotranslate, but it let me down last night.
