translator addon?

Ok so I don't have the first clue as to how to make an addon so I can't do this. But is it possible for someone who does to make a translator addon for the game? We have tons of english and spanish speaking ppl on palenque and the language barrier tends to get in the way on soo many different things.

We talk about this in our guild, and the person who manages to develop a third party software that recognizes chat/emails ECT... Will be very wealthy.

I envinsion setting the software to translate a multitude of languages into the users chosen language. The ability to sell software to MMO's as well as global chat would be profitable. Myself I would take it to an Beta phase and sell it then retire.

Only if I were smart...

Naahhh... most MMOs, including RoM forbid running third party software that interact with the game so you'd be in violation of the ToS (unless it is officially sanctioned, of course).

Before you'd reach that point, you'd find yourself with an AI that is better than anything we can currently produce. That's where the real money is. What you could get off of MMOs would be chump change comparatively.
