I'm going to {Setting Home Point.} in {Selbina}Follow

Well, there is {/yes} and {/no} and {/nod} and {Thanks for the offer but I'll have to pass}... I think there should be a {Spider}

Ive seen people use a ( ) which is just a blank space they can select in the text, and then input whatever words they want and when they press enter, what they "say" looks like it's part of the autotranslator. I think it's only applicable for PC, so gimme it on ps2...That would be fun.

All seriousness: (Follow me.) which I think is better than (This way.) (Please wait for me!) or something like that. (I'm lost!) (That's a good idea!) I use (All right!) way too much, and I really can't tell if the translated version means (OK!)/(Aggreed!), or a variation of (Congratulations!).
(I can't.) (Go!) or (Go next!) for WS and such. (I just leveled up!)(Away from keyboard), (Water closet)/(Bathroom break), (I'll be right back)which are mostly universal, but since we are talking autotranslator...
(Ready?)in addition to (Ready!) which is in already. (I'm on my way.) is a must-have I think. (Stay together) more useful than (Gather together) when travelling in dangerous places. (Is this acceptable?)= (warrior) (sub) (job) (is this acceptable?) (I don't have that.)/(I can't have that.) (Thanks, anyway.) (Thanks for the offer, but I'll have to pass.)-sounds rude to me for some reason. (I have to go.) (What do you suggest?)(Not yet.)(I aggree.)

Something along the lines of: "I need to go" or "Good luck!" instead of "Take Care".

Edit:

@Tiansan: I think {Blacklist} {Do you need it?} kind of gets the same point across.

But STFU and GTFO are universal.

{I need to use the restroom!}

I Disagree with you on this one, it is more polite to say "Yes Please!" No, thanks" instead of just "Yes!" "No!" I find this more rude. Would you rather have someone answer you "Yes Please!" or "Yes!" when they reply to you. This game is Japanese made after all, Japanese people are very polite and very friendly. Yes, there should be more phrase added in. SE is planning to add more phrases in the next update though. However, I do find people abusing the Auto Translate when there is a lot to choose from. I find people alway speak in Auto Translate, at first I find funny and humors, but after seeing it all the time annoy me because it make the person seam lazy.

Great site to find out what your saying to them and if it's making you look like a moron. Lol

i'd like to see "Good Luck"

you got {What?} {Where?} {When?} & {Who?},
where's the {Why?}?

You know that mob names are displayed the same on both japanese and english clients, right?

So if you wanted to fight a specific mob, you should have just wrote out the Name of the creature.


As for the OP's title example, it would have been fine if the english wasn't mixed in there "{Setting Home Point} {Selbina}" or "{Setting Home Point} {Outpost}"


Edit:
-Names for all in-game items (foods, medecines, etc).

Those exist, but it's part of a Dynamic Translator list, not the permanent one. You have to see the item in order to use it in the list. I'm assuming this is to save space, since the list would be monsterous if every item was in the list all the time.

I'd still like to see the Auto-Translation of the relic weaponskills. Not like many would ever use em but.. figured it'd just be one of those things that would be there.

Absolutely nothing wrong with adding Yes, please as well. To me that's just more mannerism.

{everyone}? I would interpret as Would you like for me to raise everyone that is dead?, to which I would reply, Yes please.

No it's not.

It's mostly teen chat slang. And English is not universal. Besides, swearing in auto-translate... how lame...
