If we compare chinese to japanese and korean, and russian, they are all distinct in their method of treating writing language. Oh, they are all distinct, not the same. šŸ•¶ ---

CCP should put that universal translator from lore into game chat, this will improve things a lot. Also it should translate from english to understandable english. ---

Its a noob thing. Simply, people find it really really weird when they log into the game 1st time and look in chat and see someone writing in cyrillicā€¦ - They get spooked, woundered, etcā€¦ - Simply by the fact, thats everything is new to them and on top of that they didnt understand the cyrillic languageā€¦ - Put your self in that placeā€¦ ---

> [@Smartphone\_5G](#): > > Yes every player in eve online will be FORCED to type with English letters. Thats is wrong, because of reasons already described by other players in that very thread. But you can try to convince CCP to give YOU ability to see everything in readable latin, since your level of social intellegence does not support any other char set. ---

Honestly, there are no such reason you speak of which are of any ā€œimportanceā€. Im not trying to dank down the cyrillic alphabet here by any personal means, i mean what would they be? Im just trying to make this game user friendly to everyone. ---
