    I have a really good idea BP needs to implement a language translator into the game it should automatically translate a language into the person reading its language so we can understand each other since there are so many different languages on here it would just make things easier so there is no second guessing :)

    I am sorry but automatic translators really aren't that good, useful if there is no other option, but they always lead to a lot of second guessing...

    Google translate, other programs are quite readily available.
    That said, as mir pointed out, they are imperfect, particularly on a site like this where a lot of "slang" and specific terms are used. Also, to attach them to a site like this would require a lot of server space. I think we would rather see that used for the game itself.

    I did make another suggestion earlier, that we create a user dictionary for farmerama-specific terms. (things like perfume/phermones, etc.) That was mostly to help newer players and such. Translation programs have a ways to go before they will be effective for regular, casual communication with ease.

    If you want you can use google translate to translate their messages (like woody suggested). In case you don't know, there is a trick to copying the text from an igm, click reply, place the cursor in the message, press ctrl+A, then change to ctrl+C (without letting go of the ctrl button). I have heard they made it difficult on purpose to avoid chain mails and spam...
