Translation Errors (And Typos) In Games...

[Deathscythealpha]

How funny can they be! We all know about the 'All Your Base' translation errors, but whats the best ones youve found?

Heres one i found today in the opening screen of Megaman Xtreme 2 on the GBC.

'This is Where the Reploid Research Lavatory is located'

Science and bodily functions, woohoo. I couldnt take the first level of the game serously after reading that.

That's not a mistranslation, that's just a typo. The words for 'Lavatory' (otearai or toire) and 'Laboratory' (Jikensitu, Kenkyuusitu, or Kenkyuujo) are totally different.

Did anyone else play Final Fantasy Tactics? I remember one part when it was one of the Beoulves who said Yvalice instead of Ivalice. It might have been Ramza's sister Alma. Not sure. :|

I know we've all seen "Every Hunters of PSO", but I'm not sure if that's just a typo.

If I come across any, I'll post 'em here. There are quite a few typos in the Spyro games, like Ripctocs or somethin. It' when you fail the flame glider one.

german translation of pso is full of typos, false translations and even passages that dont do any sense, like an '.... um' right in the first screen you get before the vmu-menu pops up at dreamcast where the text should sound a bit more official, imho.

I have found typos in PSo and my how to draw manga books have typos and mistransaltions in them.

I thought transelation error and typo could be classed as the same thing, but ive changed the title of the thread to incorperate typos now.

I had been sent an email address of a site that had a list of the stupidist typos/transaltion errors/bad grammer in games, but i cant find it now. You should cheack out some of the stuff in Solid Snake on the nes though...
