I just played Bad Company 2 for the first time and I noticed that it got google translate built within the game. I think this would be pretty nifty to have in the HOS chat.

Sure google translate is crap but it can allow me to understand what the germans, polish, russians , french are somewhat saying when on the server. As a European player it often happens that I hop in some server where people speak some weird language.

While I do speak some German, actually having some random words translated still makes it easier. As you then can combine your own knowledge with what google says.

But the key isn't having it so much for me, as for people that only speak one language primarily. As it allows them to somewhat communicate with others. And all of us to see what they talk about.

I was just trolling you :troll:
I really agree with this suggestion, but it should be an optional feature or we should be at least able to select the languages we don't want the program to translate.

Agreed, as long as I can set which languages should be translated to which language. (like don't translate English to German, translate French to English etc.)

No but seriously, as an option, it would be very lovely.

everyone could just learn binary code :troll: :D

on a serious note though, i didn't even know you could embed Google translator into something like a game.....i knew about things like browsers having it embedded (Google Chrome) but having it in games sounds like a pretty helpful feature

Perhaps it came with a late update. It was enabled on my computer by default or a server option (but perhaps it is because I am dutch).
