@SimGuruRusskii Wait, what? I don't know French, sorry. You've mentioned me in the wrong thread, never posted here.

Hey @rostsit sorry I saw on page 3 of this thread you were asking about other localization mistakes?

if not you, sorry.

@SimGuruRusskii oh, we've already discussed everything with crinrict. My thread is here: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4-Bug-Reports/COLLECTION-THREAD-Russian-Text-Errors/m-p/6113253#M3... You've posted there, too

Thanks @rostsit - Indeed. Sorry I have been swamped lately.

I can see what's up with that.

Hello !

I’ve noticed some text errors too.

Introvert Achievement : "do nothing social" turns into "ne rien faire de spécial" in French. It should be "ne rien faire de social" or better "ne pas faire d'interactions sociales".

In the mirror interactions, it said "Changer de sim" to go to CAS. Problem is, in french "changer de sim" kinda means to swap sim. So it should be "modifier l’apparence" or "changer le sim" to be more accurate.

 

Finally, with the fireworks (City Living). When in inventory, it said "placer dans monde et lumière" which means… nothing ! It’s a litteral translation.

It should be "placer dans le monde et allumer". The text is correct when the fireworks are already placed in world. 

 

Thanks !

I'm locking this thread as we have a shiny new one in the French forum where it makes more sense.
