Enable copying of ingame text

May 07, 2010 Death Fluffy link
Since its not practical at this time to present VO in multiple languages, allow players who do not read/speak English well or not at all to copy the texts to any of the translator sites like Babel-fish so that they can read and understand instructions. Perhaps a brief statement alluding to this capacity in several of the most common languages on the download page or nearby would do make playing easier for such people.

Yeah, I should have been more clear. Thanks Pey. I'm referring mostly to mission text as well as general text found on the pda.

yeah. newbs asking questions in severely broken english is pretty frustrating when you don't know what the fuck they are trying to ask.

Definately this would be useful.
Players could copy-paste URL's to interesting sites as well.

Also, the text in chat should be just SELECTABLE so then You could copy it with CTRL + C or CTRL + Insert

Where in the hell did you learn to copy paste? Ctrl + v is paste not ctrl + insert. Tell me. Where do you find insert on a mac? Last time I checked, nowhere. Idiocy levels hit the roof with newbs on this forum. Fuck.

oh and +1 to op

+1 to selecting/copying of in-game text. Using native controls would be a nice touch (why pasting in-game is ctrl-v on my mac baffles me).

Yeah. On linux it should be highlight to copy, middle click to paste. The paste part is already correct, but I can't highlight text currently.
