Future ideas:

• Option to hide the original untranslated messages (proposed by Eluce).
• Option to filter out messages in foreign languages / scripts.
• Translation of foreign scripts to other scripts (Cyrillic to Latin, Chinese to Pinyin).
• Server-side version of the mod.
• Support for other translation services/engines.
• Non-standard languages support, e.g. pirate speak. (proposed by RoadKill).
• In-game sign translation (separate mod?).
