If you don't mind I'll start leaving notes here as I go!

The starting cinematic uses "hassles" not technically wrong, but "troubles" would be the more expected term in context.

Hart calls you "young person". "Youngster" would sound more natural.

"The wind is a bit noisy" instead of "noisy" use "brisk" or else words like "strong" or even "playful" would make more sense here.

The "Kettle" should be a "watering can".

I'm surprised there aren't more comments here. I would say first, the laurel festival had untranslated things and so does some of the crab interactions. Other than that, I'd say most of the dialogue falls under not being understandable and likely mistranslated. I find the dialogues for people with weird self references (ex Becky or Freya) very difficult to understand but they're definitely not the only ones. I think almost every character has these issues. I'm not sure how to help ya'll with that since it's just so many dialogues that suffer from this.

Glad you offered your opinion. If it is convenient for you, you can suggest any parts that you think can be modified. Every sentence, every word can be brought up.

The game some times still goes to non english characters, like when abby is talking about the treasure after the amnesia girl, it did it a few times earlier too but I hadn't seen this post.

The quest were you have to bring Hassur some eggs - part of the conversation is missing Eglish translation

In the Abby quest about getting clues about the Goddess from the Sauna in Back Hills, in talking to her there were two sections of her dialogue that were entirely in Chinese characters.

Part of the info in the Laurel Festival is missing English translation

When going on dates you have the wheel to choose where too go, "Garden" is the correct spelling

[Whimsical_Wizard]

in the tutorial on how to farm it say sewing (connecting material with needle and thread) instead of sowing (to plant). pronounced the same.

There is still a lot of the text in the various of the starting quests there's missing translations. Every character I have met so far has part of their dialogue missing translation. It's worth to go over all of the quests and all of the dialogs - or at least make it known at the login page that you guys would like us to gather screenshots of the items/dialogs/questtext missing translations. I have had the game for a fair few days now, and I am up to the part where the meteor has crashed near the mine. So far, every quest text, every interaction I have had with the NPC's has had faulty translation. AKA missing translation to english, or weird translation as well as there's part with the hairdo guy, where ther appears that at some point was meant to translate but in the speechbubble comes up (Hello targetet person) - which to me indicates that there's something wrong here.
