This shit drives me insane. Not sure if agency or the loc team is to blame (there are 8 (!) PT-BR translators under the Roboto Global umbrella in the credits), but shame on them. This is shoddy and unacceptable. Do better. The game deserves better. The players deserve better. WE deserve better.

(e sim, tá ruim o texto em português do jogo, várias traduções erradas ou imprecisas, frases confusas que não soam natural etc)

The translator duality nowadays: being completely swamped in work and stressed out of my head, while at the same time worrying about the future of my job and getting stressed out of my head! Fun times all around!

O mesmo sentimento, mas para português (e qualquer outra língua, no fundo).
En un mar de artículos donde se nos olvida casi siempre es esperanzador ver uno así.
Los análisis deberían reflejarlo, también, y no solo cuando hay errores o lo ha traducido alguien que conocemos.
