- Dota 2 players on teams using different languages
- Worth noticing
- The page says incoming lines use Dota’s own overlay feed; outgoing translations use Ctrl+Enter, while plain Enter stays unchanged.
Field notes
On first launch, the app asks which language teammates use; its examples label Russian for EU, Spanish for US, and Chinese for SEA. The page says outgoing translations are remembered on the player’s PC in a plain-text file that a language-speaking friend can edit, and links to the full source on GitHub, including gsisource.js, rowgrab.ps1, and hosted.js. The download is listed as 80 MB and requires a Dota restart after setup.
