Historically I've submitted typos on the Localization forum (2018/2019?). You can drop back a page or two and see.

Anyhow, they were roundly ignored there, so I posted them up via this bug report forum a few months later and the ones in question were fixed by the next patch. Since then, every single one has been fixed within two patches. eg:

etcetera

I would advise others to report typos here rather than in that forum!

Since then, every single one has been fixed within two patches. eg:They've fixed many errors posted to localization. they are not "roundly ignored."

It is the designated location for such issues, so I would advise people to post them there. Do what you feel you need to do, but they have a process.

The posts that I made there *were* "roundly ignored". I wasn't referring to anyone else's experience.

I'll do what I've done in the past to get things addressed here; I'm not a fan of screaming endlessly into the void like poor Urioh.
