This server has a division of mainly English, Spanish and Portuguese speaking players. As good as this is, it unintentionally creates a division between players. It's tough to play or trade with each other when you don't understand the other language too well. Of course, google translate exists, but what if these things could be done faster?
This is probably impossible, but it's something I've theoretically thought of. I think real time translation could be possible. The game stores logs of the chat in real time, meaning everything said by any player is accessible at any time. Would it be possible for these logs to be accessed by some add on that then translates in real time using google translate servers or something? The translated text could be in some side window similar to the other add-ons like item reader or monster hp reader. My programming knowledge is extremely limited, so I'd hardly know where to start with something like this. Does someone with better background in the field think this is possible? It would be a great convenience for all players.
Apologies if this is the wrong section. It seemed appropriate.
