Already gave this feedback through bug form, though I still want to ask here too This game is amazing I would say, but Chinese (both SC and TC) L10N is way too bad, even like a disaster... I can tell that Chinese version is translated from EN text, which means it's not quite the same as JP in the very beginning. Even more, there're tons of wrong translations and typos in the game, which makes Chinese players so upset. For example, there's one monster called "Titania", and in Chinese it is literally translated into "二氧化钛" (which means the original chemical itself) Now players are saying "this game is what I want, but this shitty translation makes me feel so annoyed." However, in my eyes it could have avoided criticism of such kind. I've spent tens of hours clearing through the game and making my progress 100%. I love it as my first castlevania experience, and I do want more Chinese players to enjoy it, not to be distracted by these "flaws". So, if there's any chance to remake it, or the progress is already on, I'd like to volunteer to offer my help as a freelancer myself.

Going to use this opportunity to once again underscore the travesty that is the English subtitle script, which, rather than being an actual translation of the spoken Japanese dialogue, is regrettably a transcript of the English dub, which takes unceasing, unnecessary and generally arbitrary liberties with the meaning and tone of the original dialogue, reliably to the point of redefining characters outright, as I elaborated in an earlier thread.
The OP here notes that using this strikingly inaccurate English script as a base for other translations was an execrable mistake. Somebody must have lied to the team and insisted the English dialogue was faithful or something. That's really the most forgiving interpretation of the results we got. This is an area that is absolutely GOING to need to be revisited.
