We raised concerns about it in september (2023) because the french translation (and other ones like chinese) was catastrophic and was not much more than an automatic google-translation.
Community was kinda shocked that EHG paid a company / external team to do it… and that was the result. It felt like EHG got scammed or something. And then, after community voiced concerns, EHG got kinda radio-silent about that topic; only saying in streams that “People are working on it”.
Which was a bit of a lie because the translation still has very … “basic issues”. Something that takes 10 seconds for anyone that speaks french to spot, like “5% augmenté santé” for “5% augmented life”.
I’m not even sure they changed anything. Most of what was listed here is still in the game.
I highly recommend not playing the french version because there is a few game mechanic terms that are confusing, misleading or plainly false.
But to be honest, at the moment, I really don’t care about it. It’s so low in the priorities of things to fix. Servers and online obvious problems, skills not working as intented, passives that are waste of points because they just don’t work, big flaws in design for Merchant guild, etc… the translation is clearly at the bottom of everything
