Hi there

I play on a german server (Kodash) but happen to have my client set to english (I simply prefer the original voice acting / texts).

So what does this mean regarding the new chat filtering? The system thinks I’m writing english, so only my fellow Kodash players and english speaking people will see my writing, regardles of it being english or german (I use both, depending on the situation).
This simply doesn’t work.

Also, I don’t want to filter everything except english. It would be interesting to pick languages I want to filter based on what I’m able to understand.

So this new system obviously can’t detect which language I’m writing in nor what I will be able to understand. It then filters what I will get to see and which people will read my writing.
This is so contradictory and wrong, please reconsider how this works and disable it from being activated by default as long as it’s broken like that.

The megaserver tends to place me together with other german speaking people as far as I’m aware, yet this chat filter disables me from communicating with them (if they’re not from the same server)

I thought flaming without adding anything of value is kind of bad.
So here’s some sort of solution I can think of:

Give us one map chat for all available client languages and the option to enable/disable them ourselfs in the already existing chat tab menu.
This way I could enable english and german map chats and write in whichever one I’d need.

Obviously this would require new chat commands to switch between different versions (i.e. “/mE” (english) or “/mG” (german)) and an indication showing in which version of the map chat something is written (additional colors and language shortcut, like “[map-en]”, “[map-de]”.
