By several different ones, I mean, could you add a setting to the Country Settings to choose which language you want to talk in on Herochat? Because I think just the Country Clans might not be enough when Pokeheroes starts to get crazy amounts of members, like, 100,000, and at the rate that new members are joining at, this will most likely happen.
And, if you changed the setting to 'Japanese', when you clicked on Herochat, you would go directly to the Japanese Herochat, if anybody else chose Japanese too, you could talk to them, and be blocked off from English, French or different language speakers.
I know this will take a LOT of coding, but it could be useful, it wouldn't for me, as I can only converse in English, the other languages, I don't know enough of any other language to really converse in it though. :3

Well, I like the idea (and we would finally be able to write Chinese, Korean and of course Japanese characters on PokéHeroes) and I think the user should be able to be join more than one language chatroom. :3

There is only one thing I'm worried about: If there are a total of maybe 20 chatrooms (the 20 most used languages on PH :3) we would need at least 3 chat mods (who can speak the several languages!) for every room... that is pretty much I suppose. xD


Edit: Okay, it is already possible to write Kana and Kanji (=Japanese) on PH, I just tested it... sorry xD

No support, if you want chats for people with languages other than English then there are fan clubs for that. And it has been stated, various times, that Pokeheroes is generally an English Speaking site, so making different languages affect the site such as making certain sections translated or exclusively for other languages isn't fair or necessary. Again, there are fan clubs.

Also, you'd need a mod who actually speaks those various languages to mod those various chats to make sure no rules are broken. Just because a person doesn't speak English doesn't mean they should be able to get away with breaking rules if you know what I mean.

It would be too much coding, and adding of languages, and making sure those languages are correct, and having mods be able to understand those languages to know the difference between someone harassing someone else in chat verses making a joke. It's too much.

Pokeheroes is dominantly an English speaking site after all.

A suggestion talking about making different languages shows up here where it was rejected but it isn't the exact same as this suggestion. However it does show reasons as to why making this site have multiple languages isn't plausible.

@Queen, I did indeed say this would take a lot of coding, and you are right in the fact this is an English browsergame and such, but couldn't this help in the future? When there is so many people that there will be trustworthy people of all languages who could moderate the Herochat?
I don't expect this to be implemented at the current moment, of course. :3

P.S. I don't think Fan Clubs is very convenient for things other than chatting, and Pokeheroes isn't directly for that, in fact, I wouldn't call it a big part of Pokeheroes, that is like giving a 1/100th of a pizza to non English-Speakers and giving the rest to the English speakers.

Well since Riako has made it more or less clear he would not make this site for multiple languages, I think suggesting something that goes against that is fruitless.

The site was made for English speakers plan and simple. Those who don't speak English well enough to use it probably wouldn't be using the site. If they prefer chatting to other users in their native language, we do have the clubs for it, whether or not you view them as convenient, and people make feeds in their native language for others to chat on.

It may seem unfair, but I wouldn't go to France and demand the people I talk to speak English would I? Nor would I go to a site written in Japanese and demand they make sections in English for me. People here understand this is an English speaking site, and that just about everything should be conducted in English except the language clubs and personal spaces such as feeds or about me sections. Even contests written in a different language other than English are not allowed, demonstrated here and this still doesn't even address the issue of mods. How would mods even handle the posts in chats in different languages? It'd be nearly impossible to find a mod fluent in each language offered. Hiring mods just for the fact they speak a certain language to mod a certain chat for certain people? It's too much.

This is an English-speaking website and so the site-wide language should be English only. However, you may speak other languages in the Country Clans section.

But this wouldn't be just for one simple person, it would be for probably over 1000 people. Wouldn't it?

You still seem to be missing the big picture and reasons as to why this suggestion can't happen.

So I'll stick to no support and say my reasons, along with reasons from Riako, have already been stated.

---

I bet you Riako will reject this. But I still want to put it out there, in case it ever gets put into consideration.

---

Not Riako, but HeroChat was removed, so this suggestion is obsolete.
