Cantr II Discussion Forum

It's visible what language a character belongs to when viewing the project page:

Participants: NNNN (un hombre que ronda los veinte años)

This is an English char of mine watching a project that a Spanish "mis-spawn" is working on. (No CRB or so he speaks spanish and a little english). I shouldn't be able to tell from the project page what language group he belongs to... right?

Huh? I've never noticed that happening...

This has been around for as long as I can remember. Maybe it shouldn't be, but it's a way to tell if someone is breaking the rules about language learning. That's why I was a little surprised that it's only just recently come to light that there's a problem with people spawning foreign language characters in English locations and immediately speaking English.

I never noticed this.

It might be language specific... maybe? Like only certain languages... or maybe I'm special and haven't noticed?

I've never seen this either. I tend to agree with Dudel.

I've seen this before. My german characters were able to identify spanish and dutch characters

Yes, I've seen this several times, too.

Doesn't seem to be happening to my English character with Spanish characters in town.

Swedish charrie watching an English woman: Deltagare: Nnn (a woman in her twenties)
Swedish charrie watching a Spanish man: Deltagare: Nnn (un hombre que ronda los veinte años)
Swedish charrie watching a Swedish man: Deltagare: Nnn (en man i 30-årsåldern) (this is correct)

Unfortunately the Hispanic dude left from where my English char saw him, so can't verify that one now.

I guess it uses the target's language to translate the tag rather than the watcher's. Pretty silly, but no wonder I haven't noticed as I generally don't include cantr_chardesc in people's names. I don't know how it would display differently on the projects page than on other pages.

Now I am confused because I add the (<CANTR CHARDESC>) to the end of EVERY character and have STILL not seen this. O.o

I suspect it has something to do with the translations of pages, specifically the language of the characters, rather than the players. It seems that English characters don't see it. Maybe it's only a problem with Swedish and German characters.

But somehow, when the page is being rendered, it's looking at the language indicator in the table for each individual character listed instead of for the character requesting the page. Maybe that makes no sense, never having seen the code of the game.

I also do that and it never happened on the event page, only on the project page.
