Roblox is pushing out a new update that allows you to change your local language within the game. This of course comes with a lot of benefits and downsides, Roblox is most likely doing this to find a larger reach of people and spread out worldwide.
If we use this on roblox jailbreak as an example, this is what it looks like when you join:
At the moment I feel as if this will go really well or it will be a complete disaster, as you know google translate is very good, but not perfect, some bad translations could lead to some very awkward situation, we also have the issues with morals.
What do you think on this feature, should it stay, or go?
As you can see, only a few aspects actually translate, and they translate it to something completely different, “impossible de toucher” literally translates to “impossible to touch” where as they could’ve simply translated it to “ne peut pas toucher” which is the direct translation.
I noticed this earlier when I was playing “Rise of Nations” on Roblox, but this feature seems to be building on the current localization feature that already exists in Roblox Studio and the Creator Dashboard.
From what I believe, this language switcher is basically giving users the option to change their language if their account is set to a certain language already, let’s say English, but wants to experience the game in a different language … I’m pretty sure automatic translations are already out but this seems to be a “manual” option to translate.
