Lobbies For Different Languages(tha

almost 8 years

In dpicmafia at this point, there is very little support for people who speak other languages, at least from what I've seen. I say there should be lobbies made by em for people who speak different languages, and they should be publicized by the site itself. Maybe this is unnecessary, but it would help for outreach, and it would be good for people who don't want to run everything through google translate. This might not be a problem that occurs often, but its a very simple way to improve the sit. Let's have a discussion/support.

EDIT : This is a lot about the site publicizing and supporting the new lobbies more than anything else. Maybe like programming a dropdown menu to select your language. I know that people can create custom lobbies, but most of them die out very early. So ideally that wouldn't be a possibility with these lobbies. I may have messed up on the wording, main site mods won't need to enforce the rules there, maybe at the beginning until permanent mods could be assigned to those lobbies.

We just need to build a cyber-wall to separate Spanish speakers and the rest of us normal people and we'll be fine

I don't want to bash Mr. Lucid's ideas, he certainly knows what is best for his site, but as a user of his website I would certainly like to see a rejuvenation of competitive games and I know a lot of other people feel similarly!

Actually lucid I think translating the whole site could be bad thing... this is what happened to dota lol: https://www.reddit.com/r/DotA2/comments/3pv1ha/810_players_speaking_spanish_in_an_english/

The lobby thing would be a better idea I think but idk honestly

It would be so cool to see some features that would help attract new players to competitive games!


This new foreign language feature would be wasted effort not being used to do this

Well I mean, it can be a thing, but you cant enforce the same rules as main there, right?


why not? just painstakingly have all the mods learn spanish


no, I tried learning it, I know little, but if you do spanish, people will want more languages.
