## About The Pull Request 1. Redid the formula for calculating mutual language understanding Old: `base + (10 * (1 - (min(commonness, 1250) / 500)))`, or in other words `base + 10% to -15%` New: `base + max(20 - (commonness / 1000) * 20, -5)`, or in other words `base + 20% to -5%` 2. CSL strength preference has been changed Old: `"90%", "75%", "50%", "33%", "25%", "10%"` New: `"75%", "50%", "25%"` 3. If you understand a language partially, the icon in chat is differentiated slightly <img width="414" height="30" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/16af293a-698e-4ab8-9638-580920a38543" /> (Icon subject to change, it's just a `?` spliced with the icon rn) 4. CSL can now be taken by humans, doing so grants you gal-uncommon 5. Fixed a bug where contractions, due to being encoded, would be treated as lower frequency / rarer and thus be more likely to be translated ## Why It's Good For The Game 1. The current formula was a bit too harsh and resulted in more words being translated than you'd expect. The altered formula should make it less persistent. 2. These values were tweaked according to the new formula. If I left the 90% value it'd mean like every word would get translated and that defeats the point. 3. Makes things a bit clearer when it comes to partial understanding. 4. Requested, sounds like fun so why not. 5. Bugfix. ## Changelog 🆑 Melbert fix: Fixed a bug where contractions were treated as rarer words than they should be for the sake of partial language understanding balance: Tweaked the formula of partial language understanding: Less common words are penalized less, more common words are rewarded more. In other words more words will be understood on average. balance: Common Second Language numbers were tweaked according to the new formula. Now "75%", "50%", "25%". balance: Humans can now take Common Second Language. Doing so also grants Galactic Uncommon. add: Partially understood sentences now get an altered language icon in chat and runechat, indicating that only some of the words were translated. /🆑
