Will there be different languages for different races, i dont mean typing a weird language, but type regular words and other races
that arent your race would see the words as jibberish:
Example:
A Human says: Hello how are you?
A Troll reads the message and sees: Hajghu timur gastronta or something like that.
The only way to understand a certain language is to have a high skill in \"tongue\" This could also be used in book writing, check
my book writing post on the wish list board.
Tell me what you guys think.

i also brought this up in the wish list forum under the skills thread. i like the idea of being able to speak different languages and in
another game ive played, they were used in spell reserch.

well this won\'t be supported in the first demo. Later it depends on if we\'ll find volunteers, who want to translate the game into their
language.
You should also keep in mind that in the game people will speak englisch, because it\'ll be worldwide.

i wouldn\'t mind making up three or four sets of jibberish words for the game. but you guys would have to incorperate in as far as
the programing goes... i cant do that

I beleive you misunderstood the question MatzeB, this post was asking if the individual races spoke english. I will comment on
the post...
I personally think because traditional chat systems just send text without much regard for the wording or syntax, having this
feature would cause words that are invalid would not be translatable unless it used an encoding system that just replaced letters
with random letters or groups of letters. Either way, it would take alot of effort just to obscure what one species say to another. It
may add another realm of realism to the game but it may also cause alot of annoyance for some individuals.
It sounds like an interesting idea but I think it wouldnt work very well for this game. Of course we may decide to use this idea
later on if we feel it is suitable.
Also, on the note of translating the actual game it is possible the game will be released in English and German (if MatzeB would
translate) or any other languages members of the team can speak. At the moment translaters are not needed but if you contact
luca you can help translate the game to a language you can speak. We will also need to sort out a quality assurance procedure
to ensure the translations are of an acceptable quality.

You could understand the other races languages better by a better tongue skill.
