Translation add on in Friends Chat.

[֎WiƵƵARĐ֍ ®]

I find myself often playing my game (Cue Club 2) with people all over the world. Translation within steam friends chat would help break the barriers. And also, the availability of friends chat to be set in game with transparency. IE. :- 1 line top of screen 10-20 pixels high.

Would be nice if people used the search feature and READ all the other threads on the topic...

Short version, Valve can't even get spell check working right, what makes you think they could translate 100+ different languages into each other? And yes they would need to do that because there are that many languages on Steam.

Also having a 3rd party do the translation is VERY expensive with zero return. Having a translate button is not going to get them any extra money unless you are willing to pay a buck or 2 every time you press the translate button, which I very much doubt you would.

You can use 3rd party websites to translate for free, do that.


Long version, use the search feature and read the literal 100+ threads on this topic.

it would be fun to see whatever program netflix uses try and work on friends/chat

when we are watching stuff, the subs can sometimes be funnier than the actual show

Would also be nice if you would stop acting like the "USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION" police all the friggen time....seriously, 99% of the time you're the first reply, it's as if you sit in front of your computer from sun up to sun down hitting the refresh button so you can be first......gafl


Translation services that would be used are NOT as expensive as you are trying to make them out to be, and they are very, very common in damn near every app imaginable....FFS, Gmail has built in translation, and Gmail is free.

Gmail uses Google's own Google Translate for their own email service, "G"mail. Hence, why it is offered free.

sigh...the point being...it's completely doable, very common, and does not cost a ♥♥♥♥-ton of money.


I can't think of a single app or service I use that does not have built in translations...it's pretty much standard these days....but we are talking about Valve here, which is why these forums look like something from 2001

For companies that want to use the service, it is not free.

can you understand what's being said?


You are once again deflecting instead of addressing the point.


Read post #9 again, (or for the first time).

Seems the "usuals" have shown up....unsubscribed.

Unfortunately Valve moderation agrees that there is no need or requirement to use the search function. Posting in such a toxic manner complaining about is more likely to get you moderated than people making repeat threads for the same topic.
