I am one of those people who are big on keeping a community and expanding on that community, therefore I am requesting that an "In-game translator service" could be made so that players can at least TRY to understand what a foreign player is saying even if the grammar ends up being fragmented.

I want to promote the use of a players native language instead of everyone being forced to speak english all the time out of courtesy.

Thus, can someone make an in-game translator add-on for AMXMODX. It would be appreciated by all of the community, I am sure. Furthermore, I am sure that it is possible, try and link it up with google translator or something!

Thanks, and I hope this request is completed. It will benefit EVERYONE.

Best idea I heard in a long time.
I think this could be done with the sockets module.
Maybe you can send a string to Babelfish like

amx_tran "How are you?" en fr

And get the french translation in return.

or

amx_transay "How are you?" en fr

Would send your chat message translated by babelfish to french to chat .

That would be laggy as hell, I don't think it can be done like that. You would have to use a local translator, and create a module to intermediate the communication between AMXX and the local program. Also,most automated translations are harder to read than the text in the original language.

Awesome idea.

But it would need a big .txt file with many words in various languages.

Big is an euphemism. It would not be possible to do this using TXT, you would need at least SQL,and for a 2 languages,the database could be like 10mb. Multiply that by the number of languages,and it could grow to a few GBs.

Maybe you can do http request to a website like google translation ...

What about using the motd to use an online translator? And maybe add command for that.

What you COULD do is copy a translator database so you have a translator on your computer pretty much and have it so the command amx_tran "How are you?" en fr and it wouldn't have to search on the internet for the translation it would instead be on your computer. But what I thought about when I was younger was can you just make it so it takes whatever your IP is and tracks that to find out where you live and what the main language is and everyone's chat is translated from their personal language to the person reading its language. I don't know, I just have a lot of ideas floating around in this head.
