Writing In Other Languages

To write in a language other than common, you must possess the ear for the language you wish to scribe in. Activate the ear, then activate the quill, dip the quill in the ink you plan to use, and use the quill on the parchment you are writing on. You can then write in that language by bracketing the text with square brackets.

~[text]

• Description: Scribes in a language if done after activating an ear
• Usage: ~[The elven tongue is far superior to the other languages.]

Would Display: Anira acelal anelvya ela oilm laytyameem ane anira calalaam cillvyilva.

Note: Scribed language texts cannot be wiped out using the undo command. The text that appears on the parchment will disappear but the translation will persist when translated back into common.

~~translate

• Description: Translates text written in a language using an ear, if the translator possesses the same ear.
• Usage: ~~translate

Note: This only translates text written using the ~[] command using a proper ear. It will not translate any other kind of text. For example, scribing ~Nicce or ~Iracce for "Hello" will not translate, but scribing ~[Hello] using either ear will translate.
