Club Penguin To Introduce New Translation System Soon!


Hello Penguins!
Well, these are indeed terrific news! Soon, according to The Telegraph, Club Penguin will introduce a brand new translation system which will make language barriers vanish! Here, read this:
British children will soon be able to chat online in Spanish, French, Portuguese and German without knowing a word of any of those languages, as part of an upgrade to Disney’s Club Penguin website.
A new chat system to Club Penguin, which allows children aged five and over to play and chat together online using penguin avatars, will automatically translate pre-selected phrases between the languages used on the site.
The chat system currently contains 300,000 phrases but an update, due later this year, will extend that number to more than six billion. The next update will automatically translate those phrases between the site’s languages. The result is that children with different native languages will be able to talk without even realising they speak different languages.
Lane Merrifield, Club Penguin’s co-founder, said the team wondered “what would it be like to create a world where language barriers disappear?”. The site has several computational linguists and translators working to develop the translation system, which should be available next year.
One of the ways that Disney keeps the site safe for children is to pre-select the phrases they are allowed to use in conversation. That prevents children using inappropriate language or revealing personal information. As a result, the service has a database of phrases which can be matched to their equivalents in other languages
Sweet! Do you think this will help get rid of all Portuguese, English, Spanish, etc. servers and instead be replaced by a HUGE one? I hope so! I’m glad we will soon be able to interact with other penguins around the world without any confusions. Considering I have fans all over the world, this upgrade is going to finally help me interact with them and understand what they mean. However, this new feature is not expected to be released any time soon.
So what do you think? Special thanks to Saraapril and The Telegraph for this information!

New Short Sneak Peek: Puffle Trouble





And there it is! The first look at the brand new Club Penguin Short – Puffle Trouble!
Wow! Just, wow! To start with, I love Herbert’s voice! Don’t you? Secondly, what do you think Herbert is planning? I don’t know if you recall this but back in 2009 when “Herbert Revenge” was released Herbert built a robot literally full of puffles to destroy the island. Could it be he is trying to rebuild it to destroy Club Penguin, or…? Hmm, guess we’ll find out Tuesday.
UPDATE: This Club Penguin Short has been released in many parts of the world includnig Australia and here’s a brief summary of the video thanks to Mickman5!!
I know what’ll happen, it’s already been released on Disney Channel Australia! I’ll run you through it:
Herbert and Klutzy are in his workshop working on the button to explode the CREAM SODA BOMB and Klutzy keeps trying to press it. While Herbert stops him, he gets a knock at the door. Klutzy answers, and puffles are there but Herbert slams the door in their faces. Then Klutzy opens the door and MILLIONS of puffles stream in, causing Herbert to fall over. They keep annoying Herbert, until one of them knocks the button off the table, causing a pufffle to land on it- making it EXPLODE!
This pretty much explains why Rookie (Herbert) took the cream soda for the obvious reasons:
  • He called himself Rookie R Penguin Esquire where only Herbert calls himself Herbert P Bear Esquire.
  • He said “Stop putting fish on your pizza, Seaweed is much better when HERBERT is a VEGETARIAN
  • The video puts all into place.
Well, see ya Clupplupplup
Thanks for sharing this exclusive information with us, Mickman5!  I can’t wait for it to be uploaded to Youtube next week. If anyone sees it on TV make sure to record it and send it to us!
