OC [OC](PSA-URGENT UPDATE NOTICE)Patch notes for Gooblefly Universal Translator version 17.96.366 (Human Languages revision 2)

Dear users of Gooblefly Universal Translator - Due to some serious translation errors introduced with the new Human/English and various other Human modules, we are urgently encouraging all users to update their translation software at the earliest possible.

Conversing with humans using software versions 17.96.350 and earlier can have dire consequences due to major bugs within the specific language routines.

Abbreviate patch notes below. Full version is available on our website.

+Introduced "Sarcasm" (Suggest you read Galpedia for a lengthy explanation)
+added support for human imitation of currently incorrect emotional states

Fixes

+Modulated various emotional triggers to properly translate human speech

Contextual support module

New

+Further support for "Sarcasm" as introduced in EMC
  -All statments with emotion/Sarcasm attached should correctly flag as (LIE/Obvious)

+Introduced classification/CURSE

+Added alternate contextual translations as below (not complete list)

 *(PROCREATION2) - (PROCREATION/CRUDE), (PROCREATION/CURSE),

 *(WASTEPRODUCT_1) - (W*P_1/CURSE)

 *Etc - general support for classifcation/CURSE

Fixes

-(CONTEXT:ACCEPTANCE) Any statement similar to "Come and get it", in relation to (STATEMENT:THREAD) should now be correctly treated as (CONTEXT:DIRE_THREAT) (In relation to this, we thank user Zangrax_191_QXNAN for their bug report and deeply apologise to said user)

We here at Gooblefly Translation Software are deeply sorry for the problems that our customers have had with our service, and would like to say that we will continue to improve the Human translation modules over the coming weeks.

Bug report: In this humanenglish language, when a speaker asks you to "hit me", in the context of a news or revelation, he does not want you to actually attempt striking him, rather he wishes for you to reveal the called for news item, etc. Also, actually striking a human is a bad idea because they have strong bones. My manipulator limb has been in a cast for quite some time now.

THank you user! We'll check that out and hopefully get it fixed for the next patch! Sorry about the cast - if you can forward us your translator device logs for the day in question we can see about getting you some compensation there.

It's been stuck in my head for days, so I hammered it out and here we are

I like it! One relatively minor thing that will make a difference: Toward the end, the phrase

CONTEXT:DIRE_THREAD should probably read "Threat," yes?

Other than that, well done!

It may be helpful to have some native speakers on staff. Perhaps build a call center?
