because minecraft is copyrighted and the symbols aren't even in any particular order anyway. maybe it could just be called “ancient scroll” or something.

i will admit it would be funny

wow, i'm adventurous today. me, not bilingual, in “translating scratch”

I respectfully do not support this
You should also elaborate your post.

If you are saying that all the text on Scratch will be changed into the enchanting table language rather than the chosen language, don't you realize that this will impact many users ability to use the website? Also, before you say just turn it off, not everyone will actually know how to do that.

If you think about it, this could also cause new scratchers (and maybe even scratch veterans) to think that there is something wrong with the website, potentially causing them to leave.

Those are just a few problems, there are many more, such as how will the placement of symbols be determined? (to replace characters of languages)

It would probably not be the default language- kind of like when the ST made Meow a language for AFD once (it was just “meow” in most text fields).

The symbols would probably be placed randomly. However, to do this at all the ST would likely need permission from Microsoft to do so.
and since when does Microsoft let anyone at anything they hold the copyright claim to

i think they mean it would be a selectable language option at the bottom of the screen.

Call it anything other than enchanting table then, cuz its just a bunch of pixels (how will you copyright that)

And when you hover over the text reveal what it actually says just like in the game

It hurts seeing so many people not know it originated from Commander Keen.

It is called the ‘Standard Galactic Alphabet’, so the language isn’t from Minecraft, meaning Minecraft (and thus Microsoft) don’t own it unless they bought it copyrighted the language.

Correct, please reread my post.
It originated from Commander Keen, which is owned by a subsidiary of Microsoft, that being Bethesda Game Studios/Id Software, both being owned by Zenimax, acquired by Microsoft a few years ago.
Tom Hall may also be the owner, being the designer of both Commander Keen and the Standard Galactic Alphabet
