Translator is a tool made for entertainment purposes to allow players to communicate with encoded public (local chat) messages and as a bonus will translate across language differences, if the speaker and listener are both using this add-on.
Please note this translator will not translate between the Alliance and Horde sides by default; even if this may be technically possible with a modification to the translator lexicon.lua file.
Example usage:
- Player A is a Night Elf and selects his current language used to be Darnassian.
- Player A types "/trans hey, can you read this"
- Player B is a Gnome but has this add-on installed and sees the message "hey, can you see this", even though he cannot speak Darnassian.
- All other players without this translator see encoded text, even if they can speak the language used by the speaker.
