Semicolon

Add an april fools language called Semicolon. It replaces everything with a semicolon except for some important stuff.

I've recently switched to Linux and I don't know how to take screenshots on it yet, so no mockups ;(

EDIT: Here's the exceptions to the semicolon thing:
  • Scratch logo (can't be translated)
  • Username (might confuse some users)
  • Legal section in the footer and everything it links (you shouldn't translate an important document into a joke language)

It wouldn't be the default language- they should stick it at the bottom of the language selection list, and its name should be a literal semicolon- “;”.

That way, it looks like a bug or an easter egg, and it's not the default either, so it wouldn't be confusing for people.

When Scratch added the “Meow” language, not many complained, even though you can't understand it.

How would the semicolon language be any different?

Same thing, the “Meow” language is just random, unrecognizable meows on everything, no matter if I type “forum” or I type “scratch” . How will that be different to the semicolon?
I could see that actually being useful though, the amount of semicolons indicates the length of the word.
Thought it was TTS, now I agree, it would confuse quite a few.

I don't believe the ST can (easily) change the language list, which was also why the meow language was removed when the website updated to 3.0

I believe they can use JavaScript to hardcode the semicolon language.

i have created a translator than can translate english into semicolon language.
let elements = document.getElementsByClassName("semicolonlang");
for (let i = 0; i < elements.length; i++) {
    elements[i].innerText = elements[i].innerText.replace(/[A-Za-z0-9]/g, ";");
}


if this were to foster into a reality, i would volunteer to go around every page sticking the “semicolonlang” class onto almost every text element.

i just have one question, what would be the “real” language? the one used on the legal pages and stuff? your last saved language that wasn't semicolon language?

No, it should use the last used language.

No, I don’t think that’s a valid report reason in the forums. Assuming you mean reporting just so that ST considers the suggestion.
