Edit: the point is that she doesn't seem to be crediting Hydaelyn with anything except binding Zodiark in the Japanese. It's a weird line in English that doesn't reflect her prior knowledge or later conclusions. So using it as represe ntative of her stance - next to the later one especially, strikes me as cherry-picking.
We shouldn’t have to cross reference with other languages though. Localization needs to do their damn job. Either way though, you can’t expect and shouldn’t expect everyone to know 2-3 languages or be cross referencing them. In the end it’s source material.
