Can we talk about those chinese, Korean or whatever death threats in foreign language?

I don't know why, but some players are writing things in chinese or korean in the after chat (even though we don't understand them) and I always get curious about what they are trying to say, so I google translate that. Most of the time (or like ALWAYS), they are just cursing everyone on their team and just doing death threats such as :

''Your mother must die'' ''fuck your mother'' ''Son of a whore'' and the list just goes on

So does Riot's system can detect that kind of verbal harassment?

Wow, I’ve been routinely flamed in what I assume is Chinese in team chat before but never bothered to translate it. I hate to be “that guy” but I feel like speaking in other languages to bypass the toxicity filter is a dick move and that it’s just courtesy to speak the language of the server you’re on. I insta-mute Chinese though because the chat spam of non-game related stuff is annoying.

The best is when you play EUW from NA and people flame you in broken English that is barely legible because you're American lol.

Like I had a whole game gang up on me because they didn't like that Trump was the US president.

Hmm interesting. Just had a guy type out a bunch of Chinese. I will have to look it up after.

Yes such phrases are detectable in alternate languages. Just report them.

I didn't even know Google Translate registers Chinese swears.

Anyway just respond with "sb" and then mute them if they do it in game.

I would assume that it would be able to detect any language since Riot has the languages used prominently in foreign versions of their client, but I don't really know for sure obviously. Would love to see a Rioter shed some light on this if they happen to see it.

Not come across this but riot should definitely look into it! I hope you've reported this.

Definitely not Chinese. We Chinese don't use such complex words like "must" or "whore". We usually go "mom boom", "noob mid", “afk”. BTW, "report" never really worked. I've reported over 50, at least, salty ppl over years (no matter which race). Riot banned 3, only.

Oh, I've just noticed "writing things in chinese or korean". OK, according to the translations, those sentences are 70% possibily Chinese. 10% Taiwanese, because they're even more salty than us. But they don't have TRUE abusing skills like ours. (They are not quite Chinese, we want Taiwan, not Taiwan + Taiwanese.) 10% Korean, they didn't used to focus on "mom", but they do now, because we brought our golden abusing sentences to KR server. 10% US-or-Canadian-Chinese ppl who recently got US or CA citizenship. I doubt they made a good decision because Northern EU sounds better. 0% Japanese, they don't play PC games, they don't salt. (Just kidding, they salt like crazy when they're anonymous). China No.1 anyway.

OK.

Let me tell you why we Chinese are flaming so much: ** We didn't get Clash -> URF in Chinese servers.**

R.I.P. China

Obviously not in a region where the clients aren't coded to recognize languages that aren't supported by that region. NA probably has language support for English, Spanish, French, and Portugese, since those languages are common in the many countries that are in NA. I doubt there's detection software for Japanese, Korean, and Chinese, as they are not major languages in NA. So you'd probably need to take this up as a support ticket to Riot.
