Board Game Arena

We have translated lines for "draw" and "up to 3 times" entered in Finnish but game still shows in English for the tile that uses this text.

File a bug report, almost certainly the developer has done something wrong with regards to translation.

the developer is approachable, and often tries to fix things. but some strings in report https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=79638 are still not working, even though it's set as "fixed".

biggest problem are words like Pick, Research, File; these all look the same in English, but translate differently depending on context (noun or verb, different verb tenses).

Thanks for the link, mentioned this there as well.

Also strongly agree with this, especially Pick is problematic on Finnish translation. But those others also force worse grammar than one would normally write because things get reused all over the place..

Yeah, looks like translations are a complete mess in this game.
Played once in french, but it seems nothing can be fixed, because it's words instead of sentences, which prevents from putting them in the correct order for your language.

I don't care much because I'll probably never play this game again, but was a bit sad I couldn't fix such an horrible mess.
