Different Languages displayed 'In' Game...

I have recently made a mage type character and I would like to have a bind set up where I press a few keystrokes and the character mutters it's "incantations" as a power is fired off.

There was a friend on a SG I belonged to that did this, and I never got around to asking how they did it and they are long since gone from the game.

For instance, I'd like to fire off "Spectral Wounds" and have something along the lines of "Feel pain" said as the character activates the power but it's in Arabic or somesuch instead.

Any help would be appreciated.

You can press alt and a serious of numberpad keystrokes to get them done ╠ = alt+2252 for an example. If you can find the alt-keystroke combination for the arabic alphabet can do so that way... or do a translation program and copy/past into the keybind.

With love,

Edit: here's the site with the key codes(This is basic characters not all of them, just to help with examples.): http://www.irongeek.com/alt-numpad-a...and-chart.html

To Copy/paste without right click press ctrl+c for copy and ctrl+v for past, if you have PC.

Sounds like what you're going for can be done with binds like this:

/bind [key] "powexecname Spectral Wounds$$local Feel Pain in Arabic"

I got it from here, I keep that picture in my documents file for reference.

No Arabic script though I'm afraid, but you can do Greek.

You use online translation tools like Yahoo!'s Babelfish to translate and then copy and paste it into your bind or macro. Arabic is not an option at Babelfish, but Korean, Japanese and several flavors of Chinese are usable.

"Feel pain." in:
Russian: Боль чывства.
Korean: 느낌 고통.
Simplified Chinese: 感受痛苦。
Japanese: 感じの苦痛。

So far every language i've tried displays correctly in game, but not all browsers will without appropriate language packs.

Note - alt codes can/do vary between OS's

Not sure how accurate it is, but: http://translate.google.com/#en|ar|Feel%20Pain

I have observed characters using various Sinograms and Japanese characters in chat binds, and I've included Russian text in an AE character's speeches, so I'm fairly certain that the system can handle Arabic characters. The right to left formatting may be a problem, though.

I think the forums can handle it also: الله أكبر

One additional bit of advice:

Please don't use the bind every time you cast Spectral Wounds. It gets really old playing with someone who uses a chat bind with a frequently cast power. You are best off using that kind of a bind when your teammates need to be informed of something (like when you have made an enemy intangible, or when you are about to cast a buff). If you have to do it with Spectral Wounds, save it for the boss, please.
