The French translated version is in some cases non-existent or completely inaccurate.
In some cases, the French version simply has no translation at all, as in some menu options.
And for example, I’ve launched the campaign and from the very first level of the tutorial I’ve noticed some serious errors. The original version of the game was correctly translated, for example “Far Seer” was correctly translated as “Prophète” in French. (N.B. : “Long-voyant” does not exist in French, only in the results of translation tools like Google Translate,…)
Are there any plans for a French translation in the future? By default, I’ll continue to add any errors I come across to this topic to centralize information about this problem.
By the way, if you spot any translation issue with the French version, feel free to post a message in that topic and I will update the list.
