yes you agree to it when you agree terms that they can scan your comp to check addons etc to help stop cheaters.

Once again some words return the same garbage response. From what I can tell Bliz has changed the garbage over time to make it even more difficult for an addon to translate what it says. I do not know which words return what but imagine if "Hello" "Button" "Tower" and "Demon" all returned the garbage response "Zego". How would you translate that?

Oh, and if you didn't know, Bliz can monitor anything that you are running while you are running WoW. If you have something loaded that they don't like they can find out about it. Skim through the EULA some time and you will be surprised at some of the statments that are made in there.

Yes, but how should they find out ? He asks for a translator, and yet not for a reactor.
I think it's possible, but with a restricted amount of words .. Not everyone uses perfect English.

yes there was a rough translation mod for awhile. However, Blizz has routinely stated their stance on keeping a language barrier up. It can be somewhat broken by putting some spaces in your words like Love You can be done as Lo Ve Y OU.

The 2nd request did exist for awhile in cheating circles. There was a radar mod out well over a year ago that provided tracking on the minimap much like a hunter. The mod was highly illegal however and was also a major memory drain. If you want to find quest mobs, either get 2 monitors, 2 PCs or get used to alt-tabbing with Alha and/or thott.

There was a mod that was attempting to translate Ally to Horde lang. I saw it before but it failed because there wasn't enough input of ally words to horde words from other people as sources so it kinda failed. Its kinda dumb anyways, who cares what the other faction sees.

I do know a couple words which most know like UDEN = Help and BUR = Lol.

Actually, the first one is not entirely possible because there are a large number of words, that when said by the opposing faction return the exact same garbage text.

Of course like everyone above said, it is also against the rules and can get you quickly banned if they find out.

Its agains Blizzard rules to make that kind of translator.
And second request cannot be made without illegal modifications.

First is specifically disallowed by Blizzard, but technically possible, but not in a way you describe. Second is simply impossible because Lua environment does not have access to this data.

can this mod be made?

i have 2 actually the first is one so that if your alliance and you hear some horde talking it translates for you or if youe hear other alliance talking in their own language ie dwarvish. the next is one for quest where you need to kill certain mobs, so that if they are in your minimap range they show up like a hunters track skills of course this wont work for hunters but it will probably help alot with other classes so you dont miss the mob by accident. or even if you can set it if you want to grind a certain mob.
