I just wanted to report on the German translation of Pillars. The written text is ok with some spelling errors here and there but nothing dramatic.
But the description of items is really, really bad and just wrong.
For example a "Great sword" becomes "Gewandtheit +3" (which is literally translated "Dexterity +3"). That's the case for basically every second or third weapon I've found so far. How could it be that nobody noticed that before release???
But it's not just item descriptions. It's also quest related items like letters that are - in this case - just broken by localization. Just look at this letter in the original English version and then the German version (yes, it's the very same letter).
Please fix that ASAP. I can live with some bad translations and spelling errors. But stuff like that is to be avoided at all costs, don't you think?
I guess the issue with item descriptions may just be a database/SQL error refering to the wrong column or whatever. It's just weird that such an obvious and avoidable error made it to the final version on such a great scale. Again, in my 10 hours of gaming that affected almost every second or third weapon I found...
