I just had a very simple suggestion, but it could make playing better. It's marking text of the chat and ervery other written things in the game so you can copy it (with Ctrl+C). This would be useful, if you want to speek with people from other nations, so you can copy their answers and translate it with a tool (for example google translate). Or if you want to save something. I don't think it would be to hard to make this.

Too complicated/not needed.

you have a chatlog/gamelog where you can find text. Just use babbelfish or google translate to translate words if you are so helpless to not understand the words other players say to each other.

I make screenshots when i want to save text for later too.
Just press c ingame to make the chat fullpage, and take a (or more) screenshot.
On servers there is often a chatlog function too (/chatlog)

I know that. But can you type japanese letters into google translate? Or greek?

Yea, it would be easy, for instance to copy a fancy nickname from the game, or a trackname you want to remember.

I don't know if it's hard to implement...
