As a fellow Korean, I appreciate the precision of the translations in all three scripts.
There are certain issues that significantly impact the gaming experience, especially for new players.
For instance:
The use of verbs as object names is confusing. It’s awkward to see phrases like “Vill is building a ‘making’.”. The script ensures consistency in using appropriate nouns.
Inconsistencies in expressions and names throughout the game are causing confusion and disorder.
Some descriptions are difficult(x) impossible(o) to comprehend due to mixed expressions and grammatical errors.
I confirm the posted script addresses all the issues mentioned above.
I sent a summary of all the original text and corrections for this event challenge.
In addition to mistranslations, I also changed all parts that were not smooth so that they were consistent. I hope to get feedback as soon as possible before the event ends.

Good evening! I found a translation error when I looked at the introduction to Chinese civilization: the Chinese samurai effect should actually be “higher movement speed, lower level armor”. But in the Chinese translation they write it backwards. If you can see this post, please help the staff modify it! Thank you very much!
I found that in the Simplified Chinese version, the Chinese translation of the final level upgrade at the mining site is incorrect, and it lacks a percentage sign.
[Latin American Spanish Bad Translation] “Ordinance Company” isn’t “Compañía de Artillería”
Good afternoon, I wanted to report that the technology “Ordinance Company” of the Civ Joan D’Arc is incorrectly translated as “Compañía de Artillería” in the Spanish Language of Latin America or Hispanoamerica.
I emphasize again that it is a wrong translation, because “Compañía de Artillería” means “Artillery Company” in English, and not “Ordinance Compány”. The bad translation occurs both in games and in the technology tree.
Oh, in that case, I suppose that then the error was in translating the word Odnance (english), instead of “Ordinance” (english), which is the word that most closely resembles “Ordonnance” in French.
The technology refers precisely to the French “Compagnie d’ordonnance”, the first medieval permanent army, which although it is preferred to leave it in its original name, translated into English would be “Ordinance Companies” (The translation I chose the game in English) and therefore in Spanish “Compañías de Ordenanza”. Here is a description in English of Osprey:
Fuente: Osprey, Rennaissance Armies in Italy 1450-1550 (2020), p33, por fines educativos.
Oh! Acá sí hay soporte. Te sorprendería la cantidad de veces que en parches se dice que se han corregido traducciones defectuosas en uno que otro idioma. Por eso me gusta tomar captura de pantalla para recordar como se veía antes, y como se veía después.
Hi, this is an old problem, that got fixed, and then it came back again, in a different way. I Only noticed TWO places where the spanish translation gets cut off by the symbol “%”
For context, this bug just affects the context of the text by cutting off the rest of the text that comes after the “%” symbol , however its pretty annoying considering the fact many of us are new players, and we need to read so we can learn, and having the texts getting cut off when the “%” symbol is placed is quite bad.
PHOTO NUMBER 1, CHINESE civ bonuses getting cut off because the symbol “%”"
As the title says, when the monarch ability of treason is triggered, aside from the map ping, it also creates some empty EventCues or LocBD entries, which is weird, and should be easy to fix too.
how to reproduce this bug, (warning: i dont know if this bug its only related to the spanish version of this game)
1-start a match with the dominion victory condition enabled
2- age up to age iii
3- use the treason ability, then you will see the missing LOCBD entries on the right side of the screen
I also made this video so you can see what im talking about!
Hello, it was nice to make some progress through this Update 10.0.576 after previously reporting on Korean mistranslation. But I was wondering if there is a reason why the correction was omitted or the revised translation could not be applied to all of them.
After this Update 10.0.576, we will re-organize the new mistranslation and parts that have not been applied before.
In the case of the revised translation above, it is the result of exchanging opinions between Korean gamers, not between individuals, so if it cannot be revised, I would like you to write down the reason at least briefly.
Once again, thank you for reviewing and applying the revised version we sent you.
Hello, I’m also reporting on other parts that are not smooth in translation. It’s about the name of civilization. It’s a very heterogeneous translation, and the translation is not even unified. The civilizations that have problems are as follows.
original text
official version
modify
reason
Byzantines
비잔티움족
비잔티움
It was originally supposed to be “비잔티움인” but changed to “비잔티움족” with this patch, but it’s natural to just translate it to “비잔티움” because “족” is also a word that means lack of primitive people, not civilization.
Chinese
중국인
중국
In “중국인,” the word “인” does not fit the name of a civilization because it means a person who is not a civilization. So “중국” is the correct translation.
French
프랑스인
프랑스
In “프랑스인,” the word “인” does not fit the name of a civilization because it means a person who is not a civilization. So “프랑스” is the correct translation.
Japanese
일본인
일본
In “일본인,” the word “인” does not fit the name of a civilization because it means a person who is not a civilization. So “일본” is the correct translation.
Malians
말리인
말리
In “말리인,” the word “인” does not fit the name of a civilization because it means a person who is not a civilization. So “말리” is the correct translation.
Rus
루스인
루스
In “루스인,” the word “인” does not fit the name of a civilization because it means a person who is not a civilization. So “루스” is the correct translation.
Hello, I was so happy as a Korean gamer to be able to play a better Korean version through this Patch 10.1.48. But still, the UI part, and the description of the unit or building are not modified. I report back with suggestions for the name of the civilization. And additionally, I will also attach a screenshot for the UI part.
When placing a Relic in the Tower, the tooltip is incorrectly displayed (translation - Defense is higher on … And then signs of percentages but it is not clear how much ).
Where should I start? I can’t believe this hasn’t been fixed for over a year.
During the game, the lines of the narration are accurate but the subtitles are completely wrong. The order of the subtitles seems to be mixed with each other. This happens throughout the WHOLE CAMPAIGN.
I don’t know if it’s intended, but the subtitles come out big in the middle of the screen, covering the entire game screen.
In a cinematic video, when a place name is displayed on a map, the subtitles do not show a black background, so the letters are not visible.
There are too many translation errors, including cinematics and in-game narrations.
The Defense of Tyre : Tyre was translated in 두로, which is a biblical translation of Tyre in the order of Hebrew - English - Chinese - and Korean, an expression from a century ago that is not now used. If you want to write the actual Arabic city name used locally, you should write 수르(صور, Sur), and if you want to write an English expression, you should write 티레(Tyre) instead.
Into Egypt : The speaker is explaining what happened in the past. When describing Saladin, ‘Would’ was translated into Will and an awkward future tense sentence was written.
훗날 그의 솜씨를 널리 증명할 것입니다.(X)
훗날 그의 솜씨를 널리 증명했습니다.(O)
Raiders of the Red Sea : When the title appears, the line break appears very awkward. It’s awkward as if ‘apostrophe s’ appears in the next line. They typed ENTER very wrong.
‘홍해(line break)의 습격자’(X)
‘홍해의(line break) 습격자’(O)
The battle of Mansuah : The first sentence was completely misinterpreted. It was translated as the Franks massacred the people and the guards of the city.
프랑크인들은 점령당한 도시의 수비대를 소탕했습니다.(X)
프랑크인들은 점령당한 도시를 비우고 달아났습니다.(O)
백성들에겐 방어할 칼날이 없었습니다.(X)
그들에겐 방어할 칼날이 남아있지 않았습니다.(O)
The battle of Mansuah : It compares the city to a woman and expresses it as ‘Her’, but it’s misinterpreted in a way that a woman ruined the city. They didn’t understand the metaphor and accepted it as it was.
그러나 이 신성한 도시는 한 여자의 손을 잡기 위해서 피로 얼룩진 투쟁을 보게 됩니다.(X)
그러나 이 신성한 도시는 또다시 피로 얼룩진 투쟁을 겪게 됩니다.(O)
The siege of Acre : The Korean name of ‘Acre’ changes every time. ‘아크레’ is correct one.
아크레(O) 에이커(X)
During the game, I noticed mistranslations big and small, but I couldn’t mention them here because I couldn’t record them one by one.
After the Ascension of the Sultan DLC came out, we reported a lot of Korean mistranslations, and we were very happy to see some of them accepted, not all of them, but some of them, and we were very happy to see the feedback, but that was it. There are still tons of mistranslations out there, and Korean players have made sheets of them, one by one, with screenshots and links to them, and we haven’t gotten any feedback, and this patch proves it.
Furthermore, the fact that only some non-Korean translations have been improved makes Korean players feel even more deprived. Once again, I am submitting this as a general bug report, not a mistranslation report post, with an organized sheet on mistranslations. As I’ve emphasized in previous posts, the quality of the translation plays a very important role in the immersion of the game, and I’d like to see it properly checked and not just translated using a translator.
