Hello! I am attempting to create a "WoWTranslator" addon that automatically detects and does a basic translation of any Russian speech in-game, and am finding that a lot of the abbreviations/slang aren't very obvious to translate via Google Translator, and could use some help to make this addon even better. Before you dismiss this as impossible, I have already convinced myself with a working prototype that it is possible (and actually not that hard) because, like what we do in english, most people spam/say the same keywords and it's often enough to get the meaning out of context--see screenshot below of example. While it doesn't necessarily help us english-only speakers actually converse with Russian-only speakers in-game, it has been very helpful to me in many circumstances (ie, BG/World/Raids etc) to see what's going on (I even have made a few trades I otherwise would not have), but can be far, far better. Therefore, I am hoping to enlist a Russian/English speaker to help me add all of the common keywords used (ie, ХПАЛА for Holy Paladin, ЖРЕЦ ТЬМА for Shadow Priest, etc). I will, of course, share this addon after it's deemed reasonably accurate. Here's a screenshot of it in action (currently, displays inline with the rest of the chat): http://www.lctwebdesign.com/example.png You'll notice, for example, I don't know what what kind of Mage that is (ЛОКА = ?). Here's a few examples of what I think I know to give you an idea what I need -- please help add to the list: ДД - DPS РДД - Range DPS ЭЛЕМ - Elem (as in Elemental Shaman) РДРУ - Resto Druid Couple more examples of what I don't know what they mean: КБ - ? ХАВКУ - ? ЛОКА - ? АВАР - Arms Warrior? ДЦ - Death Knight? ДК - Death Knight? ИШОТ - Marksman (ie, hunter)? НАПА - Hunter? НАПАД - Hunter? СУРВУ - Survival (ie, hunter)? By the way, I could also use a list of helpful phrases (such as the "Who will take" example above), here are a few more examples I know: КТО ВОЗМЕТ - Who will take (example ins screenshot) КТО ПОДСКАЖЕТ - someone tell me НУЖЕН ОПЫТНЫЙ - Need experienced СБОР ПАТИ - Forming group ИЩЮ ПАТИ / ИЩУ ПАТИ - Looking for group Thanks!
