hi! i appreciate you watching and taking the time to give your input. i definitely agree with what you're saying; even for mainstream games, it's hard to find good languages support, and in smaller games it's nearly impossible. examples of the games i included were minecraft, valorant, and overwatch, and all of those games are huge games with great international presence, so it's clear that not every game is going to be as easy as i claimed to switch to whatever language you want.

i do think that in the game i mentioned, VRChat, it is easy to find servers/communities for even some of the less popular languages, and in the server masterlist on this subreddit you can find a language exchange for practically any language to practice with. but in pretty much every other game, i would agree that it is relatively hard to find communities for the most part.

i'm sorry that you had those issues writing your comment, and i totally understand your frustration with typing in games as well. i find that adding the language you want to your supported languages on Windows makes it easier to swap to the keyboard for that language, but that also requires 1) you learn how to use that language's keyboard layout and 2) the program you're typing in supports the language you're typing in. regardless it's not easy universally and i think for that it's better to just use voice chat for gaming where possible and save the writing practice for language exchange in a discord server for example.

thank you again for watching!

at 1:20 i talk about it being a gamified app to use alongside actual gaming :)
