CHATTING • Chatting in a Chat Room • Clearing the Screen • Instant Translation • Ignore Messages from a Member CHATTING IN A CHAT ROOM To All Users: Once you are logged in to the Chat Room, type a message into the field at the bottom of the screen. When you press the Enter key on your keyboard, or the Send button to the right of the text field, your message will be seen by the other members of the Chat Room. Send a Private Message: To send a private message to a particular user, select the user’s name from the user list. The Private box will automatically be highlighted. Only the select users will see the message (you will notice that your name and the name of the recipient with be enclosed in double quotes, indicating that you have sent a private message). To switch from Private chat to Public chat mode, simply select the All Users entry from the user list. CLEARING THE SCREEN The Clear button erases all the current message in the Chat area box. INSTANT TRANSLATION Our Chat Rooms have Instant Translation in 6 languages: English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish. The Chat Room allows you to specify which language you would like to Send and Receive in. If you speak Spanish, and want to type your messages and receive messages from others in Spanish, you would set both the Send and Receive menus to Spanish. This means that messages sent to you would be translated into Spanish, and all messages that you send will be translated from your original Spanish to whatever language the recipient has selected. If you are new to a language, or have difficulty typing in one, you can set the Send and Receive menus to different languages. For instance, if you speak English, but are practicing your French, you might want to Send messages in English and Receive messages in French, because you read French better than you write it. IGNORE MESSAGES FROM A MEMBER If you would like to ignore messages from a specific member of a Chat Room, select the member's name in the Member List and check the Ignore selection. No messages will be displayed from that user until you uncheck the Ignore selection.
