Unintelligible player comms

[Smecca is BMFE]

Everyone should just speak English, like God intended

I will challenge you on that bit with google, translate the next to English from Danish

"Ok, vi nupper ham narrehatten derovre, han er Elite han er eftersøgt i hele bulen!" - "Ok, we grab him fool hat over there, he's Elite He is wanted in the entire bulge" - Let's interdict that idiot, he's wanted everywhere.
" jeg gir' ham med rumsterstangen fra siden, og så dig bagfra, så får han se hvor Moses købte øllet!" - "I am giving him the space walk the seaweed from the side, and then you from behind, so he'll see where Moses bought the beer" - Guessing, you're jettisoning someone into space? A demanding passenger wanting beer?
" ohøj, der der er dømt tudefjæs, Jegskagidigskaya gjorde det igen!!" - something about criminal whiners, and Jegskagidigskaya did something again...
"hold da kæft, skide 55 tusinde det er squ da småpenge din fedtspiller" - A few expletives and 55 thousand fat plays

There is no hard swearing, a little Danish slang though!

Cheers Cmdr's

Number 4 had a few NSFF words in the translation.
Still better than moonspeak I have no idea about.

I have to say, I am somewhat surprised that in today's modern games, there is still a language barrier. I mean even Google can roughly translate English to Just about anything or Just About Anything to English with something akin to accuracy.. so why should gaming be all that different? Parse and pass, and send an approximate translation to the viewer's default language.

You've clearly never worked with east Asian languages.

I would suggest that the OP is most likely meeting players using Cyrillic.

It's an unhappy oversight.

I get rubbished for caring about fonts and typefaces, but I wish I could sort out the Greeks from the Russians.
I'd be very happy to see an in-game font capable of coping with everyone's languages.
Or at least MORE languages.

Overwatch does an amazing job with all the typesets - it's abundantly clear which languages people are chatting in because the client supports Hangul, Latin, Cyrillic (all variants that I know of,) Hantsu, katakana, hiragana, kanji, etc...

In fact - here's a call I haven't made for ages:
More variety of languages in the Stations.
I'd like to be told which pad is reserved for me in Japanese, Greek, Russian, Portuguese, Hindi, Tagalog, Welsh, and Finnish.

That would indeed be amazing.
