State of English translation?

[Staberinde]

I've 300+ hrs in the game and am thinking of starting a new run to play the new DLC. A question: Did they ever fix the weird English translations?

People cant read minds.

Its a community/crowd sourced translation. So it sees iterative improvements but at a relatively slow pace. It won't ever be as though professional translators had been hired for the job. You can even download the mod and propose improved english with a rationale for the change if you'd like.

If your issue is with tooltips and game mechanics, there has been some improvements over the year between my first and second playthrough for example but some were still rough. If your issue is with the storytelling and resulting immersion from the at times questionnable translation, while there has also been improvements, I think it is still immersion breaking to people that care more about the RP than the TBS side of the game.

I don't mind it too much anymore. I mostly pick up on inconsistencies where I expect different community members submitted translation for different pieces. Like character expressions that read like a call-back but use different words instead.
