Multilinguists 3.03
Important Note: Multilinguists now requires a .NET 4.0 framework-compiled core.
This script introduces multiple role playing languages that your character can learn and use. When you speak in-game (typing in English) and your character has a role playing language enabled, other player characters that do not know the language will view a translated version of your speech. If other player characters know the language you are speaking, they will view the normal text that you type. If a word is capitalized and not found in the word list, the translator will treat it as a proper name leaving it untranslated. I hope you don't have a lot of players who talk IN ALL CAPS constantly!

More info on languages:
There is a maximum amount of language points a character can gain, which is determined by intelligence in the function CheckUnderstandingGain in Translator.cs. I have included 2 examples of restrictions (one is commented out) in this function if you want to tweak it or remove all restrictions.
Languages Included:
Common (normal speech), Drow, Elven, Orcish, Ancient, Undead, Abyssal, Jibberish, and Umbravox. The languages for Drow, Elven, and Orcish as well as languages that you create ingame are learnable by proximity. All others are learnable only by books or other methods.
Some languages use word for word translations and others do not. Ancient, Undead, Abyssal, Jibberish, and Umbravox all use different algorithms to either randomize text or change characters, but do not use language text files for words translations.
Learning Languages:
For now, use the language manuals for individual players to learn. You can [add the items DrowPhonics, ElvenPhonics, OrcishPhonics, UndeadPhonics, DruidicPhonics, UmbravoxPhonics, and AncientPhonics and double click to learn these languages. The item ForgetAllPhonics will remove all languages known from you if you need that for some weird reason.(thanks Tru)
For your own custom languages, [add the item Phonics followed by the language name. If the word Gnomish is the name of your custom language, type in "[add Phonics Gnomish" to add a Gnomish tome of learning.
Also, this package comes with txt files that hold the English translations of a finite number of words, all of which are loaded into memory upon installation. After installation, all language files are saved in the folder \Saves\Multilinguists\ as .lng files. Warning: Because of the memory load, Multilinguists may slightly increase the time it takes for RunUO to boot and save.
INSTALLATION:
1. Place the Multilinguists folder into the RunUO /scripts/ folder.
2. Follow the README.txt instructions included in the folder Multilinguists!
In-game example of translation: Notice my LanguageSpeaking is set to Drow.
