A Lot Of Wrong Translations. Is It Worth Compiling Them For You, Dovetail?

    As per the title, I have seen A LOT of translation errors in TSW3, both on PC and on Xbox Series X.

    They range from wrong synonyms (either because of google translate or your human translator had no context), to whole locomotives (their tool tips) being translated in an entirely different language than mine (spanish labels on a french game settings).
    I've seen floating labels in the game world where you can see the translation key. Either a missing asset or a placeholder.
    A setting in the settings menu doesn't make any sense. For example, for the default movement speed, in english we get "running" and "walking", in french we get "walking" and "walk".

    Dovetail, if I compile those translation errors here, am I wasting my time or are you willing to correct them and push to prod in a timely manner?

    Thank you.

    What do you mean by ‘push to prod in a timely manner’?

    Not take six months to correct a few words in a translation XML file or changing a "es-ES" to "fr-FR" in the case of the locomotive that's entirely labeled in Spanish instead of French.

    I'm oversimplifying but they seem to be very good at delivering multiple update cycles per week so if they intend to address this as soon as their planning allows (say, the next 2 months), I'll gladly put in the effort to gather the elements that would help them correct those issues. If not, I won't be wasting my time.

    I've contributed to big games that had translation issues before, and one (by a British company too, funnily enough) took YEARS to adress it. So now I ask before putting in the work.

    I'm new to TSW so I don't know how receptive they are to this kind of community/player "requests".

    Some technical terms are wrong. Even "on" and "off" are opposite.
