Better English Translation

[Akilem]

Okay so. Love the game but I really wish the English translation's better. I saw on the notice board at launch that the announcements are translated to English by Chat GPT and in-game isn't looking any better. I hope the devs can hire proper translators in the future. I've just been playing in JP as to not ruin the immersion but :( English :(

I see almost no problems in the translation - only a few grammar errors in randomly generated quest - things like "I need 2 units of bottle" instead of "I need 2 bottles" or something like that. I am guessing this has more to do with the engine not accounting for words to change together with grammar than the translation itself(plus japanese kinda works in the '2 units of bottle' way)

I see no big issue with it. The language is funny, just like the rest of the world of Elin.

I agree - do they have a place where we can report language errors to help out?

so it was a bad traslation? i thought it was a feature

The main issue is the grammar, but some translations are also too literal and the dialogues are awkward sounding. It’s machine-translated sure enough. TBH it’s not that big of a deal if you just want to enjoy the gameplay, but I'm a little bit of a nerd and love getting into the in-game worldbuilding etc. so it takes me out of it. Since they alr aimed for a global release, I just hope they’ll hire proper translators in the future instead of relying on AI. 😅

I did a bug report via F11 with an English correction and it was fixed by the next day.
