Submit Terms
One of the things revealed in discussing game issues with Japanese players, is that the Auto-Translator is under-stocked when it comes to helpful words and phrases. When it comes to communicating battle strategy and giving orders, is seems like the English side of things isn’t much different.
The Manual Translator, or プレイ型文辞書, gives players the opportunity to submit their own words and phrases that they think could prove useful on their adventures throughout Vana’diel. Just fill out the form below, and hit Submit. This page will then be regularly updated with a chart showing player-selected terminology in both English and Japanese.
Sounds like fun? Let’s see how it goes
