| I'm from Finland and in Finnish alphabet there's ä and ö. These two letters are used very often propably in other languages too so it would be nice if we could chat työ (work) instead of tyo. Then sometimes someones accidently forget they are not supported and writes the actual letter which, in website chat transforms into ä or ö, and in game chat disappears. Also I can't figure out any reason why couldn't this happen so please support me here. Thank you for reading. |

Well for one thing, we are an ENGLISH website.
We have a forum for international stuff. |

It has to do with their character set. Keyboard standards vary but for the most part the binary bindings overlap in some area's; When you submit something it goes into the site and finds the equivalent binary value for their character set and pops out those characters you mentioned: "ä or ö"
It can be fixed, although we would need separately programmed systems for each language. Might end up splitting area's of the site. Which as you know could only happen in the forum since everything else meshes into itself.
To get this you would be asking for separate web sites. Power to you if you can convince them to make them.

So you wish to discriminate from those who don't speak English by dissallowing them from speaking intheir naitive language in game?
-----
Tofwap, what you are saying would be (sorta) true in the context of if it was in the forums. But its not. I can speak German on these forums because the forums have a complete list of all Unicode characters, like the umlaut and whatever ß is called. The difference between the forums and the games (where the problem occurs) is that the games themselves do not have a full Unicode set. It only contains the English characters. This can be solves by not creating a seperate website (since the game isnt a part of the website), but instead by including a full Unicode character map on whatever program/server that logs the chat. |
