Test Release v3.1.5

[Callum]

Do you think there's any chance that the adjustments I suggested here for the language feature might be added to a future update? That is:

• When generating the "gibberish" text for those that don't understand the language, you add a random number of letters to each word - but this number is often quite high, making the words (and sentences) rather long on the whole. Could you reduce the maximum number of letters added (making it, say, between zero and two)?
• For the gibberish text, you select random characters - but the number and punctuation characters in the replacement fonts are often not really changed (and even the capital letters, sometimes), making the "foreign" speech not look so good, with ordinary numbers dotted around it. Could you just choose random lower-case alphabetical characters?

Alternatively, can anyone point me to where I might make these adjustments myself?

I could see that as an option/extension, but realistically if something says "Dwarves and dogs stay off the grass" in Elvish, it'll be the same print, and how often does the same thing come up repetitively enough for someone to figure it out? And even if they do more power to them figuring out the next one says "Ignore the other sign" in Elvish

Callum,

From my review of the gibberish generation code, every non-space character is replaced with a random alphanumeric character.

For simplicity, punctuation is converted just like any other letter (i.e. to an alphanumeric character). Since punctuation varies by language and many of the new language fonts (even the official ones) don't have specific punctuation characters, it seemed the easiest solution.

That's fantastic - thanks very much, JPG!

My issue with the other bit is that if it's randomly selecting from all alphanumeric characters, then you will reasonably often get a numeral cropping up in the text, which doesn't look great - so my preference was to restrict the random selection just to lower-case letters. But I appreciate that this isn't an important issue for most people!

So I'm in favour of converting everything, including punctuation - I'd just like it all converted to letters.
