switchng from japanese to english and back in gameFollow

according to a GM on bahamut server it is impossible to do in the english version of the game - however they implimented it into the japanese version :(

thanks for the replies guys. i hope they decide to add it in the future. i guess i'll just have to type the whole word out then. oh well. again thanks

"Rarely Utilized"? I don't think so. I know MANY people who would love this option as they speak both English and Japanese. I also speak some Japanese and I don't think it's fair that we only get the option of writing out in romaji any thing we want to say in Japanese, especially since not all Japanese can even read romaji.

It forces us to use the Auto-Translator, which although very cool and a great idea is lacking many things. But to reiterate the initial point, there's no reason at all why North Americans shouldn't be able to enjoy the same pleasure that the bilingual Japanese clients enjoy.

press tab while the text input box is up. it will bring upa menu. you can also start typing an english word and press tab and it will give you a list of words to choose from that start with that(those) letter(s).

I looked into this extensively when I started. There is only one way to get Japanese language input.

Buy the Japanese version of the game.
Set your windows system language region to Japanese.
Install

Play in Japanese, -everything- will be in Japanese, except for some stuff they've deliberately kept "cool and english" like Character names and the names that float above npcs and monsters.

It -is- tremendous Japanese practice.... but unless you're near native you'll have a pretty steep learning curve.

P.S. I actually play this way, btw. So I know it will work.

Have you noticed how they kind of ignore you in the group though?

When I had a group for hunting the magic papyrus, uor entire group needed to sneak through Eldieme. I take 5 steps and my sneak starts running out so i say, "suni kiresou". No response. Couple seconds later, another member says, "ƒXƒjØ‚ê" and he gets sneak cast on him. I ask again, and nothing. Only when I used the auto-translator did they see and sneaked me up again.
