Techmo Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 I have, for the most part, completed the main logic of the translator. With it's current implementation, it uses a server written in node to do the translations independent of the game server. This translator should be able to be used by any gamemode without effecting server code, and I plan to make it a plugin on the steam workshop. Here is a video of me demonstrating the translator. In the final version, the language will be selected from a popup window either by using a command, or (in our server at least) a button in the options window. You will still be able to change the language with the 'native_language' command though. The chat output color, visibility, and tag are just there for testing. The final version will use something that looks a lot better. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Techmo Posted July 24, 2018 Author Share Posted July 24, 2018 The final version won't show the untranslated text unless the option is enabled. The player will only see the chat in their native language. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Techmo Posted July 24, 2018 Author Share Posted July 24, 2018 (edited) Just a quick update, I added a menu to select a language. It's pretty simple atm, and will have other options added later. The menu opens with F9. Edited July 24, 2018 by Techmo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxsnake Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 What I'm curious about is if it will translate everyone message even if they are English speakers and wouldn't that spam the chat. How would you also set it up as a player to speak in let's say Korean and get it to be in English. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Techmo Posted July 24, 2018 Author Share Posted July 24, 2018 In the final version, all other languages will be translated to your language. If you are korean, everyone who does not speak korean will be translated to korean, and appear to be speaking korean. Since the translation does not involve the game server, translations made for you do not appear in chat for everyone else. In the final version, the untranslated chat messages will be replaced, and you will not see them. Also, if a player speaks the same language as you, they will not be translated.
