Sign language does not work properly

Both the secret languages are translated for all to see, even if the person shouldn't be able to understand them. Doesn't seem to be an issue with Animal language, just Sign and Thieves Cant.

Description of Bug Experienced:
Thieves cant shows in clear text in the combat log.
I use the the chat format setting:
-colour_mode 1
-prefix_mode 1
-console_mode 2


Steps to reproduce the Bug:
change to thieves cant (-th)
Write about your shady exploits!


Expected Result:
The text in the combat log shouldnt be clear text. It used to be emotes instead such as:
*cough*
*shifts*
*looks away*

Actual Result:
Its written in clear text.
shown in the screenshot:


here I played around with the console_mode.
Variant 3 should have shown thieves cant untranslated in the main chat window.



Additional Information/Notes
I couldnt test sign language. It didnt let me swap to it using -si. I believe this used to work at some point.

So I was in a party with a pair of drow, and a pair of thieves- with an additional party member who was neither. Drow sign was used, then thieves' cant- and all characters could understand both languages?

Cant was still effectively hiding the fact that it was thieves' cant, and drow sign remained 'unknown', but both could be read in both the normal chat log and the combat chat log.

I don't think EVERY character here had the lore to catch that 100% of the time, and if I recall correctly, at least one of these languages is immune to lore checks? Anyone else getting this?

[Artenides]

Okay, thanks for the clarification. I'll look into this.

Description
==========
I have had conversations now, with multiple Yuan-ti players, that.. they seem to be able to 'see' drow hand-sign. While I don't really do anything secret with it (mostly using it for sarcasm, playful side-bars, and joke-commentary about the main conversation line) some people do ... and I was wondering:

Is there something wrong with the Drow Hand-sign?

Important Note:
I use Emote "Style 1" (Novel style) ... "dialogue" and emote style ... so this could also be in conflict with or inconsistent with drow hand-sign mechanics? I am unsure if it's just a coincidence that it is Yuan-ti, or lore, or what. But I only have this happening with Yaun-ti.

Steps to Reproduce:
=================
- Saslae makes sarcastic statements in drow hand-sign about something someone is saying.

Expected result:
=================
- Drow laugh.

Actual result
=================
- The Vraal/Yuan-ti all laugh. The Drow feel uncomfortable.
