I personally use a different translator which might translate something better, it really depends on the person though, everyone translates something differently. I usually recognize the language

I mean, if someone sends you a screenshot of a language that doesn't use the Latin alphabet, how do you type it in?

Change your keyboard to that language (Phone) and retype it. Also if its a really uncommon language why would you bother lol. omg 1 other player saw his friend swear in his papau new guinea language ohnooooo

I have a Russian keyboard plugged into my laptop, to report Russian rulebreakers. I know the words myself, since I learned them at university lol.

usually, there are features on phones these days where you can just take a photo of it, and translate it, the same thing will work for screenshots. Most software has an autodetect of the language. E.G: https://translate.yandex.com/ocr

Well considering we can’t really accept reports via discord, a message link would be required for discord reports (so we can just copy paste). For in game reports it’s unlikely that people will start speaking a language that NONE of the staff members speak (talking about designers, admins, QA etc). Plus, afaik there’s only a few languages that you can select when an in-game report is being made so tbf there’s not much we can do other than ask a friend or a family member who speaks that exact language.

it really depends on the person though, everyone translates something differently.

This is somewhat worrisome however, there's no set standard in the team on how to tackle reports which no-one speaks o.O "Oh no, noone in the team speaks x language. What a bummer, lol gl figuring it out"

I have in the palm of my hand a list of French curse words that Google translate doesn't recognize.
