I do my best!
There's a translation available for the ToW dlc with the dr. poison romance and the new martial arts and so forth, just so you know. Team patched it together just a few weeks ago. And the prequel is perfectly playable start to finish in the official release, no idea what you mean.
??? I played it for the first time recently and have no idea what you're talking about, truly.
Did you pirate or buy? Played the most recent version with DLC? Are you talking about the western regions NPCs? I admit giving them a shitty font and all lowercase text was a bad design choice, but I think it was pretty clear they were meant to sound retarded, it wasn't a translation error but a dumb design decision.
Bought, of course.
The last time I played it was a couple years ago, post DLC release.
Every dialogue from the beginning of the game onward was of similar quality or worse than the last quarter of Tale of Wuxia, which was notoriously bad. Garbled syntax, spelling errors in almost every line, absurdly bad punctuation. Like I said, a machine translation and a bad one, with little to no editing devoted to it.
Someone is already translating Traveler of Wuxia, there is a mod in the workshop. It is not a finished translation yet, but the game is more or less playable with it.
Dude, the options menu goes "On / Close" instead of "On / Off". And even the intro scene is full of translation and formatting errors.
If that's your standard for "unacceptable engrish," then we have been playing different games and I envy you. The intro is unusually dogshit - most of the game is obviously not MTL. There was no MTL that could translate Chinese with that degree of accuracy available at the time, even DeepL at its most recent is still pretty garbage. TOW and the prequel were obviously translated for real, just not edited particularly well.Dude, the options menu goes "On / Close" instead of "On / Off".

Yes, you can understand what is going on, but it looks like crap and destroys the atmosphere of the game. Imagine if you're reading Lords of the Rings or watching the movies for the first time, and instead of memorable lines like "One does not simply walk into Mordor", you get something like "Themordo r is not easy to walking". Yeah, you get that Boromir is saying it will be hard, but all the fun of the line is gone. These bad translations are this over and over and over.
It's fine, I just want Ho Tu Lo Shu combat again.
It's really weird to me that they're making a fanfiction-style game with Actual Characters instead of just taking clear inspiration like they have with all the jin yong stuff in the past. That's ok, I'll keep playing that garbage.
But that's what their very first game was, Heroes of Jin Yong had you meeting and recruiting characters from several Jin Yong's novels. This is basically "Heroes of Gu Long".
