Auto-Translate

[Ratzu]

We definitely need a system that automatically translates other languages into our own (using Google Translate), giving people the liberty to speak their languages while not annoying the rest of us, and make it possible for us to communicate with them, and build a larger inter-lingual community in that manner.

We could have a command like /setlang [Language], in which language, would be the name of the language, in the language itself.
For example:
/setlang English
/setlang Espa?ol
And it would automatically translate all text into the language you specify.

I cannot emphasize on how amazing this would be and we would be a first (as far as I know) in the entire SAMP community to have such a system.

Yes I do understand Google Translate is not perfect, but if you have half a brain you can infer what people are trying to say in the case of a failure on Google's side. It is definitely a lot better than the oooaaaaoooaaaaaaooooaaaaaaaaooooooaaaaa oooaaaaao us living in the US get when someone is speaking a language that does not use the Latin alphabet.

I think this would be a good thing for us to use, so that way it would be easier then having to go to Google and spend time translating it.

I also think the command should be !translate [Language]
But as always, it's up to the Admin's and Owner to decide.

(Not sure if I have a say in this or not.)

I can't believe I forgot this was already suggested, I thought it was just suggested ingame, like, "hey, we should have this." /facepalm :/

This would work... If people didn't actually use street language... People use variations, lingo of their own language, making translate programs unable to translate some words in their sentences...
Or giving wrong translations.. This might become a problem if it translates something that means something entirely different.

For instance, in dutch "buurvrouw wat een mooie koolmezen, maar wat doet mijn haan op uw ezel"
what effectively translates to "neighbor what a lovely tits, but what does my cock in your ass"
but actually means "Neighbour, what a nice birds, but what does my cock(chicken) on your donkey"...

Some is better than none. Also, people will probably try speaking properly if it means they can be understood.
