Negative Terminology

[ToxicFox]

Abolished is probably just cause the translator didn't know what word to use. Most people who don't speak English as a first language don't understand that some words carry more weight then others. I've spoken with plenty of people that learned English as a second language and they all make little mistakes like that it not a big deal though.

Oh, I realise that fully - I'd definitely attribute the wording to it being someone missing the nuances of the language.

That said, it isn't a big deal.. it's a long deal. Negative wording repeated over and over and over generally will have a negative impact, albeit a very subtle one.

And again, who cares if it's not a big deal? It's so, so small and easily fixed. So where's the harm in asking them to in the future just.. use wording that's far less likely to register negatively or mislead anyone? This is hardly a request that needs new code, or even new art resources, after all.

Except I believe the localization team is english speakers with japanese as a second language (It's probably better to translate from a language you don't know well into a language that you do, rather than the other way around)
