My problem of the official trade web site is whisper translation forcing in comparison to poe.trade

I appreciate the official PoE trading site very much, but there is one thing that sometimes bothers me and then I have to launch poe.trade - it is generating whispers in other languages.
It will be nice to have possibility to whisper with PoE official web trades only in English(as configurable option), as it's already in poe.trade.
My argues:
– I would like to know exactly what I wrote.
– I would like have possibility to add something reasonable after, in example price proposition(when it's buyout) in same language as original to not confuse target player.
– Many QoL tools does not recognise other languages because it's not timely affordable, most international players understands in more than half English and are using it, so is not reasonable for single person developing a tool.
– There's not too much effort to introduce that, generating whispers in English exist there already.

Let me know what you think about, it often pisses me off when I get some answer which I don't understand and I additionally have to explain that I understand best in English(and Polish eventually)

soo if i understand this correctly...

you are upset that poe translates the message into the players preferred language so that they can understand what you want.

you know what you wrote because the message is always the same.

if you must haggle a price , you can use google translate to code your message with a yes or no at the end to understand their response.


The feature you really want is to be able to copy paste text from chat as this would solve any issue.

sadly poe doesn't care about QoL features like that as someone in global will get offended as other abuse it.





I'm not upset, just it will be nice to have a possibility to whisper in English. Default will be as it is now, just another option in my settings, it might be just in site cookies to not waste server resources.
I feel more comfortable in English and I have not noticed any troubles when whispering in English from poe.trade, which is functionning a much longer. Every Korean I've meet understands my whispers, many Russians too. If you think different, it is not against you, because it will work default as it's now. If my choice to whisper in English will fail, no one's world will collapse and that will be just my problem, very easy to fix.
Many countries have English as secondary school language from very simple reason – if you know English, you have much more options to have good job, a lot of English speaking people travel around the world. Almost everyone knows some English words.
