Blizzard should allow the cross-faction chat and add an option to turn it off (maybe in the interface). If someone turns it off, he/she doesn't sees the opposite faction's chat anymore (until he/she turns it on again).

dont think thats the case.. It should be a lot more challenging in order to achieve this
Saurfang speaks to Anduin, and the other way around, and they understand each other perfectly. Why not players?
I know "mu" is what comes out, if a horde says "ty" but that's about it.
I once came across a random page with translations of orcish to common, but I can't find it. Maybe someone will give it a go?
In Vanilla there was a long quest chain including a book called Draconic for Dummies but I never did it. I don't know if players actually learned to speak draconic, I think so.
In WoW alfa Blizzard were considering orc and human players could be friendly, but they had to work for earn trust. It was scrapped, like so many interesting ideas. Would have been a totally different game and probably this is better.

Because we aren't educated. We're heroes and commanders because of our skill in killing, not for our intelligence. ;)
Just have a look on this image from a random page, Warcraft 2 cover:

Those guys have a lot on their mind, but really not improving communication. WoW is not about settling differences, tolerance and other, irl nice things. World of WARcraft is about the neverending war between orcs and their allies and humans and their allies. A war between two worlds. Not a rocky road to understanding and love.
I like that factions do not understand each other. All you need is /spit, /train and /wave.

The implication being that being able to understand each others words automatically means we all just sit down and hug it out.
Someone really should have told Sparta and Athens that, or the internal wars Japan had, or the Roundheads and Cavaliers, or the Union and Confederate states, or just about any War ever. No War was fought because of a Language Barrier. That argument just doesn't stand up.

Well, to be fair, you are playing a race/class combo that is impossible if the Language barrier existed....
I know "mu" is what comes out, if a horde says "ty" but that's about it.
.
that's funny because 'mu' means 'nothing' or 'non-existence' in Zen/Ch'an Buddhism
thanks is non-existent haha
14/11/2018 14:25Posted by TelriemWouldn’t an easy solution be to automatically turn on faction specific language when entering into PvP and in the open world have it turned off?
Or in General and option to learn the language through lets say a quest chain???
Maybe they should enable cross-faction communication when your warmode is off, that way it wouldn't be so toxic

Speak for yourself peasant!!!
i kind of feel like nightborne, sin'dorei, kal'dorei, etc, would have languages learned
id figure magic is harder to use than another language

This is an excellent point, and would solve the entirety of the problem. Make this Orc a Dev, pronto.
This is a bad idea.
I don't want to know what the alliance are saying, and they sure as hell don't want to know what I'm saying to them as we gank them.

Language barrier doesn't make any sense lorewise. Everyone can speak common and by everyone I really mean everyone, including even not-so-bright races like ogres.
Toxicity isn't really an excuse to keep the language barrier either. There is no language barrier between players of the same faction, yet just by taking a look at the forums one can find people posting about how toxic other players are on a daily basis. Does that mean they should bring another language barrier to prevent different races of the same faction from understanding each other? But what if someone playing the same race shows toxic behaviour? Remove all chat options from the game altogether?
No, all players already have what's needed to deal with toxic behaviour in form of report options. It doesn't take longer than a few seconds at most, if someone is being a prick just report them and be done with it.

14/11/2018 13:40Posted by ZinghaiHorde & Alliance players can talk
I only know of one Horde that can talk to the Alliance and his name is Saurfang.
The rest of us are fine with the status quo.
The most known ones: When horde says lol it's kek for alliance. When alliance says lol it's bur for horde.14/11/2018 15:57Posted by EulaliaI know "mu" is what comes out, if a horde says "ty" but that's about it.
14/11/2018 13:40Posted by ZinghaiWe've been living in the same world for quite a while. How come none put the effort to learn the language of the other faction?
How can a Night elf understand a Dwarf and vice versa.
How can an Undead understand a Tauren.
it would be fun to implement an achievement or a specific context where Horde & Alliance players can talk with each other.
want to know your opinion.
at least i know what kek means
Pandarans and void/blood elves can.
14/11/2018 17:56Posted by Annallusion
Pandarans and void/blood elves can.
Night Elf and Blood Elf demon hunters can talk to each other in demonic too.
Also I think arcane linguist skill gives mages the ability to understand Thalassian, so Horde mages who aren't Blood Elves can also learn it to talk to Void Elves.
