Robotranslation
I know this is unlikely to happen soon if ever, but what we really need is a translator that can translate at one time traditional communication and slang/netisms for any given language. Every language has the equivilent of "OIC" and "BRB," "tho," and so forth. I used to get IMs from customers every day, however I've been deliberately letting business go to wrack and ruin so it isn't much of an issue for me, but for SL people doing customer service, as well as ordinary people meeting strangers or attempting to help someone, it can be difficult as a robotranslator (any I've used) runs right over slang.
I can figure out the bastardised words if it's a familiar language like French (not that I am any good at it now but I used to be able to read it easily and speak it to a degree back a thousand years ago) or Spanish, but I'm not able to do much with, say Portugese. I just got an IM in Portugese that I Googlerobotranslated and although I can sort of see a faint shimmering haze the meaning is not clear. /me hopes it's a case of mistaken identity as I dunno WTF she's on about.

Os = Cursed? Prolly not.
Reading the comments to the LL blog post acknowledging group IM borkedness and vowing to improve upon it has me slightly confused, since it hasn't been any worse for me lately and in fact has been completely unuseable in a certain (small) group for years.
Other groups (that truthfully I don't really care about with regard to group IMs) are lots better recently, some of them with thousands of group members. Unless... they just seem better because I never try to say anything anymore. Of course, there's only one group IM that's crucial, and of course that one is borked, and I've just been waiting for whatever eventual fix takes place, but this makes me feel special in a bad way.
I used to ask others to begin the group IM in case I, myself, was cursed in the group IM department, however it made no difference. /me tries to think of ways that group is unusual. The founder is not usually in the group IM. It's a small group. Hmmm... its name isn't capitalised. None of those seem truly odd at all, though.

I just received a group notice that said, in part:
"You've probably noticed how unreliable and frustrating group chat is right now."
Right now? TSMGO! hasn't been able to use group chat for two years, which makes it really difficult to communicate during a show (the current group of performers is small and experienced so we've adapted but it was hell on wheels when I was keeping track of ten or more people).
What happens is this:
- Someone opens the group chat (it's not TSMGO! group but a smaller one).
- People chime in to say they are in.
- Everyone says, "Oooh IM lag."
(Haha a man just went by, standing up and using a paddle to
propel his surfboard, his dog lying at his feet.)
propel his surfboard, his dog lying at his feet.)
- I say something else.
- I get an error message saying my words couldn't be sent.
- I IM everyone separately and keep track of all the windows (and that used to be MUCH easier when there was the constant flashing/dinging for unread IMs.
