    Lightbulb Official translator

    Hi supercell I have an idea for a new icon that would be under our name when being raided, raiding, profile, and on any chat room. It would be the language that you can read and type. There would have to be some sort of test we would take to earn the icon. I think this would be good so when people try to find a clan, they could see if anyone in the clan could speak their language. Also you could have achievements for each language. And every three or four months, you would have to take a quiz to see if you remember the language. If you would like any help creating this you can contact me through the forms.

    Thumbs up

    This seems like a lot of work on SCs part for little gain.

    I don't know. I mean all Super Cell has to do is insert basic language functions for the most popular languages then get the players to fill in the gaps with giving them the ability to correct translations that are poor for an extra bonus each time.

    To what end? They'd have to design these tests being very careful to not create bad questions for each language. This is more difficult than you think as different regions speak the same language differently. England and The US are common examples. Even the southern vs northern US are different. Also how do you make sure the test isn't racially biased? What about different age groups?

    They then have to periodically update the questions. Furthermore they'd have to design a whole interface around it.

    All this for what, so you can prove that you can speak a particular language when that'll be quite evident the moment you type in clan chat?

    I retract my previous comments- I misread something you put earlier which ignited my response. Sorry.
