Is there any possibility to have an in-game active translator?

This happens every now and again where I get matched with a premade speaking in the chat in a different language than me (I speak English, just for reference). Could there be a text translator implemented into game chat that would translate the chat log into my language, and vice versa. Since it is not an environment where I have to play with the same people over and over again (like in the LCS) I should not be required to know all languages so I can simply speak with my randomly matched teammates.

...Consider Google Translate.

Consider Google Translate attempting to work real time with League jargon and foreign slang.

Contemplate the output of something that is likely not as good at the job as even Google Translate manages to be.

Realize that this was a stupid idea.

Accept that there are some people you just can't meaningfully communicate with.

If they are constantly speaking in their own language, it's normally because they are speaking between each other anyway, and intentionally not being good team players and not communicating with you.

They can speak English just fine when it comes time to flame you.

Ask them politely to speak English or use the whisper functionality. If they don't want to and keep spamming away, just mute them.

shouldnt need it. if you are on the NA server the primary language is english. if you cant and wont communicate with your team you should be punished for it.
