Clan Chat Language Translator

After wars we usually clear out new members that don't use their attacks. To replace them, we temporarily open up the clan so anyone can join to see if we catch some good players. We often get a lot of players that write in other languages and unfortunately we kick them because of the communication barrier. It's too bad because I'm sure some of them would be quality players!


I would like to see the ability to set my clan chat so all messages come through in my language regardless of what language other members write in.

Seems difficult to implement plus there's always google translate.

Auto translate?

Very useful feature but as a non-programmer, that sounds difficult...especially since there is roughly 6,500 spoken languages around the world.

I think a better solution, which would cover your concerns and many others, is the ability to copy and paste text in game. That way, you can copy and paste the text to Google Translate and vice versa to communicate.

Currently Clash of Clan offers 15 languages in the settings so they could start with those. I think copy and paste into Google Translate would be very cumbersome. Who wants to switch apps while having a conversation? Not saying this would be an easy feat, but it is a global game and would make for a more unified playing experience.

I agree it would be very useful just not sure how difficult it would be to program and would it be worth doing it?

What would be the impact to the game's download size? Server load? Device load?

How many thousands upon thousands of auto-translations would be occurring at any given time?

As cumbersome it is to copy and paste into Google Translate, I can only imagine how combersome it would be to the servers to autotranslate even just 15 of the top languages.

Then IFR will be filled with not only "I want a Brazil flag!" but also "I want Swahili auto translator!" threads...

All valid questions which I have no answers to. That would be for SC to figure out since they are the experts. I'm just submitting the idea because I like it and this is the place to do it. :)
