Hey, I've been sort of away from the site for a while, but didn't there used to be an option to translate posts written in a foreign language? Has this been taken away or am I misremembering it? Either way, is there a chance it can be brought back?

Yes, there used to be a translation feature. It was part of the forum framework (phpBB) which BGA didn't develop, and for some reason it disappeared. But because BGA didn't develop it in the first place, there may be no easy way to bring it back.

Thank you. It's a pity, I spent a while playing State Of Survival, and that had a live translate option for chats which although it was a bit sketchy in places (English-Russian translation seemed very dubious at times) it was at least good enough for people to mock it together which objectively meant it was close enough! I was hoping that is was maybe an option here, but alas the translation stuff I remember has gone...
