X (Twitter)'s automatic translation feature is worth implementing

Miscellaneous Off-Topic

I would like to share some thoughts about the language policy of this forum.

As everyone knows, this community only allows posts in English. However, with today’s technology, automatic translation is already common on many platforms such as X (Twitter), Discord, and others. Microsoft itself has Copilot and advanced translation tools, so it does not seem technically impossible to support multilingual participation.

Using browser-based translation is an option, but it often causes issues—for example, pages do not reload correctly unless switched back to English. This makes participation more difficult for non-English speakers.

In addition, when Forza says “we listened to the community,” it usually refers only to feedback posted here on the forum, while comments on social media are often ignored. Because this forum is English-only, it can feel as though the voices of non-English-speaking users are being excluded.

I believe that supporting language diversity would make the community more inclusive and allow more players to share their ideas. I hope the team will consider implementing automatic translation or other features that make participation easier for everyone, regardless of language.

Especially considering that Forza Games cater to a huge audience, like when they started to put a lot more Chinese cars into the game to make the game more popular in China. Or the fact that there is only 2 Forza games that played in English speaking regions.

Of course AI sometimes translates things incorrectly, specifically with words that cannot be literally translated, but I think the tech is good enough for simple comments and suggestions. Would definitely bring more people and ideas to the forum. Otherwise this can oftentimes feel quite a bit like a very secluded part of the community.
