Rules Translation
Longi, Wed Jun 22 2011, 12:53AMAs I just had to use Google Translate to get across to a noob the meaning of a simple rule, it has occurred to me that it would be useful to have the rules translated somewhere on the website.
It'd be even more awesome if you could have them in B3 so you could for example go !rules german or !rules polish etc
I would suggest at least having german, french, polish, spanish and italian, given the number of people we get from those countries. Its not like we have any shortage of native speakers to help with the translation :)

Don't know many germans who aren't able to speak english. If you're not able to understand the rules you shouldn't play on server. They are written in simple english.
Maybe on the website ok, but also in B3??

As long as it isn't broadcast to the entire server, i imagine that would get old really fast, I don't see anything wrong with that. Just have it spam the rules to the one guy that needs it in that language. For example !rulesgerman DeviL would give devil the rules in german.

Banme: Yeah exactly... if you could !rules playername language
or !rules language to get it yourself (via console tell rather than spamming everyone with it) that'd be awesome.

Nice idea, but I'm with Devil. How does one know what language another player prefers? Once you start creating these variants, where do you stop?
Taking it to its logical conclusion, pretty soon we would need a version for females. Then, we'll need a gay version and a Muslim version. And then a gay Muslim female version? OMG, I can hear the protest now from the Canadians would have to have their own version! Eh?

If we had them on this English speaking website, where would we post them for easy access to a non-English speaking person?
el-kabong hit the nail on the head. The Canuks would be outraged.

At least on B3 we could spam rules at them when they say "francais" on chat for the 90th time.
Besides, we of the Commonwealth speak the Queens English. It's all you other people that have it wrong. It's our bloody language, deal with it :)

it would be a kinda fun b3 plugin to write.
basically just combine ip geolocation with a call to some translate service
of that regions language.
(or probably do a lookup of some canned translations like someone said.
maybe just french, port, and spanish.)
