Chinese (Simplified) translation issues

I have no idea why Bedrock Edition don't use the same translation or the same translating way to Java Edition. That's not funny to play the game with such bad machine translation. 

I hate the bad machine translation.

Why not use the translation version on Crowdin? That version is pretty good and favored by we players.

I had made a resource pack to modify the terrible translation. I thought everything is OK. But after a huge update, I realized that I have to do that work again. Oh. Sometimes I just feel like a fool  when I seeing these wrong translations. We do  need a correct and official translation, please.

The worse thing that this translations is used in Education Edition too. How it could be, that EDUCATION edition contains spelling errors? I can't believe that teachers didn't provide feedback about it.

Some of these bad translations are hilarious actually, but they caused a lot of problems like I tried to tell others about one thing and they just didn't understand till we opened the game, which is pretty awful.

Can confirm, the Dutch translation is so bad I prefer to just use English instead. 

The fact that Bedrock translators are failing to understand pretty obvious strings really irritates me. Microjang is obviously aware of the problem. Java proofreaders told Microjang about this several times, and they said that they would do something (like https://imgur.com/a/V0Xa4OV, which is from the Slack for Java proofreaders). And still, nothing has changed.

I like how "professional" Bedrock translators are getting paid for producing such bad translations, while we, the community (volunteer) translators, produce translations that are way better than those from Bedrock translators despite getting nothing (except cape).

Hi all,

Please make sure you're being respectful when commenting. Just because we don't understand why something has occurred, or why something hasn't been addressed yet doesn't mean its malicious or a result of incompetence.

I'll raise this one with the mods.

Just out of personal curiosity though (which might clear it up for any English speakers this happens to be seen by), a few of those translations seem like personal preference on term. For example, book and feather is technically accurate (at least in theory from someone who knows no Chinese). Quill in English is "any of the main wing or tail feathers of a bird" rather than a pen. Would an old-style quill be called a pen in simplified Chinese?

The Chinese translation is really terrible, I hope you can refer to the JAVA edition of the translation, thank you.

Also Italian translation sucks, for example drowned spawn egg in italian is called respawned drowned (annegato rigenerato), or in the loading tip leads can be used on boats it translates lead as the metal (i piombi possono essere usati sulle barche)

创建世界时“平淡的”应该是“超平坦”

The fact that the bad translation is misleading or causing inconvenience is the problem for me. I was quite suprised to see there was no searching results for "Conduit" until I see the funny "导管".

I am quite sure you developers are busy with adding new features to catch up with the java edition progress of 1.16, but I believe translation errors are relatively a lot easier to be solved than any other gameplay bugs.

I appreciate your efforts and hopes to see Minecraft growing more and more user-friendly.

Turkish translations are very weird in 1.16.0.59 and 1.16.0.60 Betas. New blocks and items are weirdly translated (especially in 1.16.0.60), some blocks and items aren't translated at all.

角色编辑器里也有很多翻译问题

PE的苦力怕还是叫爬行者 JAVA已经改了 

Yea, its a BIG problem for all versions, i am playing on russian and not only translations different from java, but also java have a normal font for russian lang.

I saw these mix up, on Logdotzip’s video.

不僅僅是簡體中文，隔壁的繁體中文更可怕。
Not only Simplified Chinese. Traditional Chinese translate is more terrible than Simplified Chinese.

한국어만 그런 줄 알았는데, 아니네요....

I think this problem is only present for Korean, but it isn't...

위에서 자신들의 번역을 이론적으로 좋다고 보고 있는데, 전혀 아닙니다.

음차마저 제대로 번역이 되어있지를 않으니...()

I think your translation above is theoretically good, but not at all.

even transcription is terrible...

빨리 고쳐주시기 바랍니다. 다른 언어로 Bedrock Edition을 사용하는 사용자의 대부분의 이 문제로 매우 화난 상태입니다.

Please FIX IT fastest you can. All of Bedrock Edition users use other languages are very annoying with this problem.

It's so terrible,please fix it quickly!!!

I also noticed that on german language the chain is called "Verketten" which makes no sense. It should be called "Kette" like on java.

In spanish it's not that great either. Why don't they just have the same translation that java edition has?

"Conduit" to "pipe"…

所以，这个问题*现在*还没有解决吗？

SO, Does this issue not solve even NOW?

Affects 1.16.40 and 1.16.100.54 beta

Stripped hyphae are also translated wrong in German. They are called "Gestreift" instead of "Abgezogen". This at least can be explained with a typo:

The term "Stripped" (for all wood types) is translated as "Abgezogen".

"Striped" however can be translated as "gestreift", for example: A zebra is a striped horse.

Ukrainian translation also have a massive problems like russian words in translation or half of Spawn Eggs have different naming from other half, same things with trapdoors and buckets of fishes. You can check entire list at [MCPE-94952]

Affects 1.16.100.58

All of this would be resolved if the BE translation was the same as the JE

I think the translation of "controller"(“控制器”)is fine as “手柄” is more informal.

Moreover, in my opinion, “手柄” is more similar to "joystick" instead of "controller"

What is very funny to me is that "Grass Path" was translated to "绿茵小道"("Green Path", but in fact it is brown😂.

Affects 1.16.100.59

Affects 1.16.100.60

In Italian language, coral block are just named with just colors instead of "fire", "brain" ecc...

On v1.16.200 Minecraft Bedrock Edition.
I saw that the french canadian translation of the "Ray Tracing" setting is bad.
It's translated as "Lancer de rayon", which means in english "Throw rays" while it should be instead translated as "Traçage de rayon" or "Tracer de rayons" in french.
I also saw that there's no translation at all for the french language.
The french canadian translation of "Upscaling" is also bad.
This setting is translated as :
"Conversion ascendante", while it should be instead "mise à l'échelle" or "Redimensionnement".
Or it should be instead "Suréchantillonage" like for the french translation, but this translation is maybe wrong depending on the way the upscaling is done, cause "Suréchantillonage" is a very specific technique.

MCPE-116331

here is a list with every wrong German translation

"Milk Bucket" (or was it "Milk"?) should be 奶桶 or 奶 since milk can now be obtained from goats. This is also Java parity.

There is actually no error for the one concerning wheat (农作物/小麦) because 农作物 is referring to the group including wheat and other crops. The item itself is correct.

I agree that controller in its current translation (控制器) is fine.

Other than that, the remaining issues persist in 1.16.230.52 beta.

Something in English is wrong, so the Chinese translation is also wrong.

@戴维-David 我认为应该根据生物类型来决定刷怪蛋叫什么，也可以叫生物蛋

@Unsender 这需要根据Java版来翻译，它在Java版叫什么，基岩版对应就叫什么。玩家社区想叫啥就叫啥，但这是游戏！

@unknown The music name issue is tracking in MCPE-182701

Please revert all the following stupid machine translation change in 1.21.30.24 which are correct before:

entity.villager.mason

item.chainmail_boots.name

item.chainmail_chestplate.name

item.chainmail_helmet.name

item.chainmail_leggings.name

item.milk.name

item.writable_book.name

tile.light_block.name

And please revert these changes:
tile.brick_block.name
tile.nether_brick.name

The translation("梅森") in 1.21.30.24 of "mason" is very absurd, which even directly transliterates the profession name of villagers. 

Light Block  Current: 浅色 Suggest: 光明方块 Note: on zh_CN.lang in bedrock 1.21.40.22: line 9304 "tile.light_block.name=浅色 #"
