Change the error “You don’t have enough Flezz to place that bid.” to “To low of purchasing with you flezz” or some similarly nongrammatical phrase. |

That would make it more Japanese?... Are you saying Japanese people are dumb and stupid? Stoned_elf edited this message on 01/16/2009 2:47PM |

Who many Japanese’s do you know?
I know quite a bunch and they do speak English with accent but none is grammatically incorrect! |

In general, they SPEAK just fine. The All Your Base-eqsue comedy comes from people not being able to do effective written translations, which is a completely different issue. |

I like the game communicating with me in proper English when trading. I think a lot of misspellings are great for establishing character and whatnot, but especially for those of us who are not native speakers, broken English is hard to read. |

This is intentional. I don’t want people not understanding how to actually use the tool, even if it breaks the consistency.
Besides, you could say it’s just BidSquid who has broken English. The site was properly translated. |

QFT, especially since ET already said he plans to keep the site English-only while still pursuing non-English advertising partners. |

Or you can run a few sentences through altavista’s babelfish. English-> Japanese and back again. If it’s still a little jumbled replace a few choice words to make a little more understandable. The phrase would be something like: “It does not have sufficient flezz which puts in place the bid”. Balloon edited this message on 01/16/2009 3:11PM |
