How to Use the World of Warcraft Tongues Add-On

In "World of Warcraft," some players prefer to focus its role-playing aspect, adopting the persona of a character while in the game. Often this involves adopting an affect, or artificial way of speaking, when communicating with other players; in some circles, failing to do so is frowned upon. For players who have difficulty with this aspect of role playing, the Tongues add-on provides assistance by automatically running a player's chat messages through a language filter before they are broadcast to other players.
