The daily mail would be proud of your xenophobia OP. What next, filter all Spanish, German and French chat too?


Spanish, German and French speaking players seem perfectly fine with with using english as a common language, when chatting in local or other public chat channels.

It has nothing do it with xenophobia, there are just players who are not able to or interested in speaking english in public chat channels. I can't read cyrillic or understand any language it is native to, it would make most public chat channels i use more easy readable if it was just filtered out.

Currently i'm forced to ignore players using it, and i don't really like that option. I would just like a on/off button i can enable when two are more people start a conversation in cyrillic, so i don't have to watch it.



Or, you could be a good little racist and just ignore them.

No, it would be racist if I said I wanted to hide the avatar pictures of all players who don't match my skin tones.
It would be sexist if I said I didn't want to see any players whose parts don't match mine.
It would be age-ist if I said I didn't want to see any players who are old.

However, it isn't anything if I say that you're either a troll or an idiot.
With that being decided, I would endorse such an option and I would not be insulted it there were a mirroring option on the screens of those typing in cyrilic who can't understand english and are tired of seeing it.

Clear troll, no one's that dumb.

Well as strange request go but would it not be easier just to have an auto translate feature, so those of us who can only manage to read one language can respond to the taunts written in other languages because cutting and pasting into google translate is too much work P.


Build-in translation would be cool.

Maybe something much easier than that?

Maybe a client side change could interpret the cyrillic letters to roman letters if you have your client set in any roman language and it stays cyrillic for any cyrillic set client.
So any player how cannot or doesn't want to talk english or spanish or french would talk as his or her tongue pleases and only the letters would be interpreted as in roman letters for everyone to read.

Since you can set your keyboard the same way it would be much less of a hassle to implement.

So it would read like 'dobroi djen' (please forgive any typing mistakes here, since I'm not native) in your client and in any other client with cyrillic letters accordingly, 'problem' solved.

It doesn't need a translation or it would create too much stree on our overworked hamsters.
