Can someone recommend a good translator to use when chatting with non-english speaking pilots?

Yes, usually but not in chat.

Although boobie gifs probably work best in local if you're feeling friendly (bonjour madame ftw), and the odd bit of ascii modern art

Stop making Ezwal sigh Doreen. I mean it!

Try a mind meld. If that doesn't work, try your keyboard.

I use Google Translate. Lots of Russians in my area these days, and I am nosey enough to keep it up and translate the chat as it comes in.. cut/paste and try to decipher the output.

Most of the time you can kind of get the general idea of what they are saying. Sometimes not (probably because of slang, etc).

gf also works for that. Doesn't have to mean 'good fight'

Why not add emoji to the EVE in game chat? Done right on a modern smartphone you can communicate anything to someone who doesn't speak a word of your language.

Learn key words in the language. Not Google translate, but books, language education websites, native speakers who speak english. Learn from them.

I've FC'd in English, Russian, Spanish, Chinese, and Japanese so far.

What's your excuse nerds?

I disagree, I have negotiated 3 separate treaties with different groups of Russians using only google translate.

Well, I was thinking about helpful sexual advice, but not fussy v0v

Tbf if you post pics of boobies or alcohol in local or chat you generally get happy faces. 5 nice gifs to reel them in, then something vile, then run away.
