    Fix 2:

    Reported this long ago on Twitter. It used to say 'Did he read me letter?'


    Fix 3:

    This menu has finally gotten some much-needed fixes. This actually happened very soon after my last thread. Glad to see they changed this. I'd still separate those words but I understand it's not that easy to do that. Also 'Hat is invisible' could be 'Hide Hat'.

    Hello! Time for my 3rd annual localization post in mid-summer, as is tradition. :thumbup:

    This time I'm going to reiterate the previously reported issues that didn't get solved in time.
    Also I'll probably highlight some that got fixed in the meantime.
    As always thanks to the localisation team for handling these!

    Localization Bug 1:

    Deadline has expi- is cut-off. Could be changed to 'Deadline expired' or just 'Expired'.

    Localization Bug 2:

    In the raid menu, this should be changed to 'Players' or 'No. of Players'.

    Localization Bug 3:

    Fishing minigame. Random spaces and overrun at the end. Plus the button should say 'Start Game'.

    Localization Bug 4:

    In the perfume menu when you don't have perfumes. This should say something along the lines of 'You don't have enough Perfumes to make this item yours'.

    Localization Bug 5:

    When opening a pet bead. It should say 'Congratulations! You have a new party member: [Pet Name]'.

    Localization Bug 6:

    Speakers should have the tag 'Speaker' or 'All'. It doesn't make sense for it to say 'Total'.

    Localization bug 7:

    This barely fits. Could say 'Spire' instead. or 'Cel. Spire' / 'Celestial Sp.'.

    Localization Bug 8:

    In the very first mission of the game. Mimi should say 'Reward' here to match the button.

    Localization bug 9:

    Here Mimi should say 'Confirm' to match the button, not OK.


    Now, let's see some fixes that got added since my last thread:
    Fix 1:

    This description in TS 37. It'd been like that since the release of the game I think! Huge win right here.


    I will be posting the rest as a reply since I can only add 10 posts per thread and I'll update them if I find more. Please also check part 2 for some fixes that I'd like to be changed.
    There's also issues with the text in tutorial photos, but those are hard to fix as I understood.

    Thanks to the loc team for looking into these and see you all next year!

    -Pirtylo

    Loc bug 2. Raid members.

    Ugly overrun here. My suggestion is simply 'Members' or 'Participants'.

    Loc bug 3.

    This might be harder to fix, but it makes it a bit hard to read as you can see.

    Loc bug 4.

    A two-for-one. Grammar and spelling. 'Perfumes' is spelled 'perfurmes'. Also the whole sentence is wrong. It should be 'You don't have enough perfumes'.

    Loc bug 5. New pet system message.

    Text should read something like 'Congratulations! You have a new member in your party: Boxer Bushi!'.

    Loc Bug 6. Rewards.

    Button says 'Reward', so the tutorial text should match it and not be pluralised.

    Loc bug 7. Accepting reward.

    In the same spot in the game, the text tells the player to press 'OK', when the button shows 'Confirm'.

    Loc bug 8. Others vs ETC.

    The parcel menu has 'Others' as one of the inventory sections there, which doesn't exist in our actual inventory. An easy fix would be to change 'Others' for 'ETC'.

    Loc bug 9. Warehouse authority.

    I think this should just be shortened to 'Warehouse auth.'. Many lines in the game use that compromise. Alternatively, it could just say 'Warehouse'.

    Loc bug 10. Total channel.

    The speaker shouts have this <Total> tag at the beginning, which don't make sense. It should say <All> or <Shout> or <Speaker> but definitely not <Total>.

    Loc bug 11. Betting and Option tutorials.

    I'm really glad so much of the tutorial has been fixed after my Twitter rant. This part here however is the one I remember most vividly. I know the betting one got changed as well cause it used to say 'Welcome~ I will bet all of you Trust me once~' Can we make these fit their boxes though?
    Also, the first text sounds a bit weird. You can't 'bet' someone. Honestly I don't know what it was supposed to say, but I'm guessing it was 'Welcome! I will out-bet all of you. Trust me!'.
    EDIT after realizing something: There have been fixes implemented for these two tutorials but sadly they are not visible when accessing the tutorials from the F11 Help menu. The fixes are present only for the first-time pop-ups new players get. Which is a step in the right direction but also a missed detail. Please also fix these images in the Tutorial menu.

    Thank you to the team for going through these eventually. It makes me really happy to see them in-game. I will be editing this to add more in the near future and when enough time has passed with no activity, I will make a Part 3.

    Hi there,
    Since my last campaign to fix the English in NosTale, the loc team have blessed us with some more fixes in a recent patch. I want to thank them for that!
    Below I will be posting my feedback regarding those fixes, bringing up issues that are still to be fixed and reporting some new atrocious typos and errors that I found playing the game.
    I will be editing this thread to add more as soon as I find them in-game.

    :)First, the good news. Fixes from my last report campaign:

    Fixed Loc bug 1. Converting menu.

    Very satisfying to see. Thank you for fixing these.

    Fixed Loc bug 2. Upgrade buttons.

    It's nice to finally see buttons use the bare infinitive forms of the words instead of the gerund 'upgrading/converting/producing' etc. Keep it up!

    Fixed Loc bug 3. Speech Bubble.

    Can't believe I finally saw the day this got fixed! This has been saying 'Word Balloon' since the release of the game as far as I know. Thank you. I do however feel like we could have a more coherent sentence there. Something along the lines of 'Insert the message for Speech Bubble', similar to the Speaker's text I reported a while back.

    Fixed Loc bug 4. Channel List.

    Very subtle, just a capitalisation inconsistency, but it makes the game look classier, doesn't it? I'm so glad the loc team fixed this! It's the first thing we see when we boot the game after all.

    Fixed Loc bug 5. Partner Skill.

    So glad this got fixed. And with my suggestion too!

    These are all the typos I reported last time that I could find to be fixed in-game. I will edit to add more once I find them.

    :/Now, for the 'kinda fixed' and 'not fixed' bugs that I'm bringing back from the last round of typos:

    Kinda Fixed Loc bug 1. Share point.

    I still feel strongly about this. The new 'Return Spot' is the only button with 2 capitalisations. Plus it doesn't really make enough sense. I still think it should say 'Share point', capitalised like this, because that's what it does. It shares the point of return with the rest of the party. Please take this into consideration, or at least remove the capitalisation for 'Spot'.

    Kinda Fixed Loc bug 2.

    Ok, I am very happy both these buttons got a fix. I am being a bit of a perfectionist here (pun intended) and I'm gonna say that the 'Use' button should say 'Apply' or 'Add' though, since we are using it to apply the points we added to the card perfection points. Please consider this! Thank you for the fix still, this is also one of the bugs that have been in the game since release.

    Not Fixed Loc bug 1. Settings menu.

    I know this is a very hard challenge for the loc team. These lines might be used in other parts of the game. However, I think we can at least push to remove the random '?' signs here and also rename some of these that aren't even part of the game's mechanics such as 'Exchange'. Also, please consider capitalising 'Game Configuration' to match the other buttons that pop-up once we click on the settings cogwheel. Thank you!

    I went ahead and counted the characters on each line and my suggestions should fit perfectly snug in this menu, so please take this into consideration, or at least the parts that are most safe to be changed:

    PartyBlock = No Party Invites

    FriendBlock = No Friend Invites

    ExchangeBlock = No Trade Offers

    Speaker/HeroBlock = No Speaker/Hero

    Get up immediately = Click to get up

    HP status gone? = Hide HP status

    Hat Is not visible = Hide Hat

    Toggle CD = Toggle CD

    Family Block = No Family Invites

    WhisperBlock = Block Whispers

    MouseTrap = Mouse Trap

    Block ML invites = Block ML invites

    Smileys gone? = Hide Smileys

    Buff seq. gone? = Hide Buff Seq.

    Lock UI = Lock UI

    Toggle HP = Toggle HP


    Not Fixed Loc bug 2. Whisper system message.

    This system message 'Send the message to 'Magiker' in channel 2' should read 'Sent the message to 'Magiker' in channel 2' or better yet 'Message sent to 'Magiker' in channel 2'.

    :(And now, the most important part, the newly found typos and issues that need attention. I might have to reply with more inside this thread if I run out of attachments for one post. We'll see.

    Loc bug 1. Deadline has expired truncation.

    This happens when an item posted by the player hasn't been sold in time. My suggestion would be 'Deadline expired' or 'Not sold in time'. Both should fit in there. Also 'Received' should be 'Receive' since it's a button. But as I understood from last time, the line might be used somewhere else.

    :!:I ran out of attachments for this post, so the loc issues will continue as a reply in this thread.

    ----

    Localization Bug 21 (NOT FIXED):

    This really bothers me! I understood from the last reply I got on this that not all of these lines can be fixed since they are used in other places. However, I don't see why the ones with question marks couldn't be fixed for example, or the longer ones that get overlapped.

    Also, the only change that happened here is changing "Hat Is not visible" to "Hat Not visible". Which is arguably worse! Why did that get changed? It didn't have any issue other than the capitalized "Is".
    My already-mentioned fixes for these are:

    PartyBlock = No Party Invites

    FriendBlock = No Friend Invites

    ExchangeBlock = No Trade Offers

    Speaker/HeroBlock = No Speaker/Hero

    Get up immediately = Click to get up

    HP status gone? = Hide HP status

    Hat Is not visible = Hide Hat

    Toggle CD = Toggle CD

    Family Block = No Family Invites

    WhisperBlock = Block Whispers

    MouseTrap = Mouse Trap

    Block ML invites = Block ML invites

    Smileys gone? = Hide Smileys

    Buff seq. gone? = Hide Buff Seq.

    Lock UI = Lock UI

    Toggle HP = Toggle HP

    game configuration.png

    Also please capitalize the menu's title and button to "Game Configuration" to be consistent with the other buttons and menus.

    Localization Bug 22 (NOT FIXED):

    Channel list should be capitalized as Channel List, to be consistent with the other menu headers next to it.

    ----
    Will edit this reply to add more updates once I find them in-game.

    ----
    Localization Bug 11 (NOT FIXED):

    I don't really know why this did not get the fix that Loc Bug 10 got. They are basically in the same spot in the game.
    Please change it to "Enter the name of the member to invite." So it can be consistent with the other fix.

    Localization Bug 12 (FIXED):

    Again, I don't have the old photo since the old forum got closed. But this button used to say "Combination". I am very glad to see it fixed!
    However, since this got fixed, I don't see why the other buttons that end in "ation" did not.

    Localization Bug 13 (NOT FIXED):

    Like in the previous bug, I do not know why this button could not have been fixed into saying "Start Upgrade".
    Buttons shouldn't use Present Continuous tense.
    This happens for other buttons such as:

    Localization Bug 14 (NOT FIXED):

    Again, it should say "Convert".
    There's also two corrupted apostrophes at the top there. Please change them for regular apostrophes.

    Localization Bug 15 (NOT FIXED):

    When whispering someone, the system message should read "Message sent to 'x' in channel y".
    Please fix this one!

    Localization Bug 16 (NOT FIXED):

    This happens when you use the item Speech Bubble. There's no Word Balloon in the game.
    Please change it for "Insert the message." Or something similar. Maybe "Choose your message."

    Localization Bug 17 (NOT FIXED):

    These I am really fighting to get fixed.
    Decision should say "Apply" since it's the button for when you chose all the points you want to set. At least make it say "Decide".
    Initialization should say "Initialise". Why the ending in -se? Because the item that uses this button is called "Initialisation Potion" not "InitialiZation".
    Please make sure to not use nouns or verbs in Present Continuous tense for buttons.

    Localization Bug 18 (NOT FIXED):

    This happens when you are getting a skill for your partner once they reach 100% Agility.
    Please change it to "Learning a new skill...".

    Localization Bug 19 (FIXED):

    Really happy with this one! They removed the word "Random" from both small and big gemstone boxes as per my request. Now it looks really clean! Thank you!

    Localization Bug 20 (FIXED):

    Fixed! There are a few instances where its and it's are swapped. I'm glad that we got rid of one of them.

    -----
    I got a few more but I still need to check them in-game. So it would be really nice to get an answer on this feedback until I find the rest of my bugs!
    Stay tuned for more.

    Hello! Since the old forum got obliterated, I thought I should post a follow-up on my part 2 of English bug reports I made, where the Gameforge Localization team answered saying there are going to be fixes for most of them.
    Some bugs got fixed, others received a controversial fix, and others got ignored for now. I am gonna go through every scenario, giving my feedback since I reported them:

    Localization Bug 1 (FIXED):

    This was a fix! With this, the whole tutorial in NosTale plays out in perfect English! (Except for the old tutorial photos, oops).

    Localization Bug 2 (KINDA FIXED):

    This disappointed me to be honest! The fix does not fit the context there, and also it is the only line in that sequence that has both words capitalized.
    My suggestion was "Share point" since that button is for asking your party members if they want to share their Amulet of Return point.
    The fix fits in the box, but it doesn't make sense idiomatically and the lack of consistency with the other lines is a tad bit annoying.
    Please consider adopting my suggestion.

    Localization Bug 3 (FIXED):

    The extra word was deleted! Perfect!

    Localization Bug 4 (FIXED):

    I am very glad this got fixed as per my request! This looks so clean now.

    Localization Bug 5 (KINDA FIXED):

    Ok. This was saying "A brand new specialist card" before. Instead of deleting the whole line, or having something else, the sentence now says "A specialist card." Which is really awkward.
    Please delete the line altogether or add some fluff text.

    Localization Bug 6 (FIXED):

    Very small one, but I appreciate it being fixed. Grammar matters!

    Localization Bug 7 (FIXED):

    I am very glad this got fixed. This happens when you try to go to a friend's Miniland while in another Channel. Before, the text did not make any sense!
    Thank you for approving this suggestion.

    Localization Bug 8 (FIXED):

    Great fix, again, this might have been there since the launch of the game/family system! Thank you!

    Localization Bug 9 (FIXED):

    The photo before the fix was lost with the closure of the old forum, but it used to say Duk there. Now it's all good!

    Localization Bug 10 (FIXED):

    This is huge! The family dismiss message can be seen in all its glory now.
    The formulation in the new fix is a tad bit awkward tho, "the member to kick".
    I personally would not have chosen that phrasing, but either way the issue is fixed! I am grateful for that.

    -----
    I can only post 10 images per post. So far we've seen the happier cases where there was an attempt of a fix, but going forward I will post mostly not-fixed bugs, that were pretty much promised to be fixed at some point.

    I'll post them as a reply to this thread.
    Thanks again to the localization team for fixing all of these! It is a big step and we are grateful for them.
