LANGUAGE & TRANSLATION

These options allow you to enable non-English-language support for tool-tips. (Tool-tips are similar to pop-up help, but they describe buttons, rather than items in the game.)

A second set of options allows you to translate foreign speech that appears during the game (see Autotranslation, below).

Language: allows you to select the language you wish supported (English, German or Japanese). This will cause tool-tips to appear in a pop-up window in the selected language. Note that you must exit and re-enter the game to change the language being used.

Use Unicode Speech: is a toggle that allows you to use Unicode fonts which support foreign characters.

Font: lets you choose the font you want for tool-tips. Click on your choice.

Sensitivity of Mouse Hove:r controls how quickly translation boxes will pop up.

Sensitivity of Window Timeout: controls how long the tool-tip will stay on your screen.

Color of Translation Text: allows you to set the color of the text in translation boxes. See Color (above) for more details.

Autotranslation
You can configure UO to automatically translate foreign speech (both in the game and while chatting).

Autotranslation On/Off: toggles this feature on or off.

Auto/When Clicked: toggles between two translation options. Auto automatically translates everything foreign that appears, into the specified language. If When Clicked is the option you select, speech will be translated only when you click on it. Note that neither of these options will function unless you have Autotranslation turned On (see previous button).

Destination Language: is a list of possible languages into which UO can translate speech. Select the language into which you want foreign text to be translated.

Color of Translation Text: allows you to set the color of any speech that is translated. See Color (above) for more details.
