PWI is open to all people to play in any country.

The problem is that there are players who really cannot speak English.
I have a member in our guild she really cannot speak english lol! We cannot understand what she is talking about.

For this reason can PWI produce a Language Translator built-in the guild chat and squad chat? or even world chat?

This way we can make those non-english speaking players enjoy and can express their thoughts while playing the game.

Please give them ease of use and let us understand each other, since you allow PWI open to any country.

    Eh the translator would have to REALLY know the lang not like google translate **** which would cost alot of $$ to make so for that fact PWE won't do it.

    I know TONS of people from other country that are in my fac and out and they speak pretty good english either written, spoken, or both. Alot of country teach english now and days not a huge problem really but eh some use may come out of it.

    As it was said it will cost PWE a lot of money to implement such an option and I highly doubt they are going to do it. Also, they even banned few languages once, but unbanned shorty.

    My primal language is russian, but I have been learning english since age 8 and I am doing pretty well now.

    So they are not complying the ease of accessibility concept of online gaming experience. They should have anticipate this kind of barrier in user experience...

    Well wat ur asking for is huuuuuggeee. Do u know how hard work it is to do such a thing? There are hundreds of thousands of words and how many language is pwe gnna work on, 4?5?6? even google, a big company, hasn't perfected the art of translating. How do u think is pwe gnna do better?
    Im not being cruel at all it's just my opinion

    And i don't think there's any possibility at all that that's gonna happen. There is no way google is going to associate with an mmorpg

    Google is maybe not the best translator in the world, but PWI won't lose their time to make one, cause obviously they won't pass time to create something if it's not for sell and people won't spend money on a in game translator when there's hundred online for free.

    People are just to lazy to go find a translator. Learn English is one of the easiest language to learn, but some people just don't want to learn it.

    Something like that would be nearly impossible to do.


    Even if there was somehow an exact word for word translator present, various phrases, sentence structures, and so on would make things difficult. On top of that, there are many languages that have words that can't be directly translated into another language. Overall, though, the fact still remains that what you're asking for is far too large a project to perform with far too many complications and places where it can go wrong here.

    Even if it is just broken english, you can still kind of make out what they are trying to say. I had some greeks in my faction one time, and even though the English wasnt amazing it was understandable. People use abbreviations so much in this game anyway it doesnt matter too much.
