Many ROBLOXians speak a different language then English and alot of the time you have to bust out your iPhone , and turn on Google Translate to understand what they're saying.So I though , "Why isn't there a translation option?"So then when you say some thing in a different language , Ex:(Japanese):Rei.And it would have the word in ()'s behind it to understand.So it Would Be like this: TestRobloxian: Rei (Example).

tl;dr - Instant translators don't work as well as you think they do.

-------
Good idea, but an instant translator would be much less effective than you think.

Many languages are "inflected" which means they rely on word endings rather than word order. Languages like Latin, German and a bit of Japanese if I am not mistaken are all inflected languages.

Instant translators like Google Translate are terrible at translating inflected languages (and occasionally non-inflected languages as well).

Example:

(Latin): Tempus fugit; horae fugiunt; senectus venit, sed me non vincet.

What Google Translate thinks it says:
Time flies; an hour almost over; comes old age, but I do not will be victorious.

What it really says:
Time flies, hours flee; old age comes, but it will not conquer me.

Needless to say, there is a big difference here.

If you knew the CoreScript, they would have to remake the chat.

@big,

No reason? Or are you just saying "No Support" for the sake of saying "No Support?"
