William,
why should we put a translator routine (dont even know if there is a FreeSoft routine aviable) on this website/board when there are already dozens of good, trusted and tested translators out in the web?
Thats too little effect for the afford.
And not wanting to click a single link is being lazy in my eyes.
Well I would use the freetranslator sites alot.....but when you minimize the illarion window after a little bit it shuts off your game. Maybe a little translator button that minimizes illarion then brings you strait to the freetranslation site?
Get a German-English dictionary. Then you can look up some of the words and get the general meaning of what they're trying to say. I do this sometimes.
For Translation in game: Why don't you search someone who speaks both languages IG and can translate for you? I think this also would be good RP. I don't think they had electronic translaters at that time.
I suggest making a sort of vocab list, I play a merchant and being able to speak german opens up a whole new line of customers so knowing how to say buying/selling , need, item names, simple things like I,you,what,how many, for, per, things like this.
