'Pre-etablished' messages not obvious for new players

Hi,
So I'm using the 'Good luck, have fun!' message on bga, which is automatiquely translated to the langage of the others players.
Problem, regulary people answer me things like 'grazie anche a te' or '也谢谢你' which I have no idea what they mean.

This is not a problem, but if I ask them something else in english, they will assume I understand their langage while I do not. Which isn't good :(

It happen really frequently. I would said more than 1 times out of 5 of people who answer.

Auto translators can kill pre-established messages profile language concepts oof. At least during games you can see what languages the other can have set, that can help.

i didn't know there was such an auto-translation process available, otherwise i would have used those messages when playing with non-english players.

Not sure if you've noticed, but when you mouse over a players message in chat, you get the translation option directly from google translate. Have you tried that? While slightly tedious (opens another window) it makes interacting with another language much easier! I find it's fun to translate into a different language and have a simple conversation with other cultures and languages. :)
