Japanese localization (JP.PO) is riddled with errors and problems. Can it be improved?
I have checked all the beta localization files.
I found 9839 sentences.
JP.PO was a copy of the community translation.
It was a downgraded copy with Literal translation.
It has been revamped.
It was a copy of the community translation, with many additional issues that were not in the community translation.
Or it was a copy of the community translation, again adding many problems that the community translation solved.
I have given feedback on issues that need to be fixed immediately in the beta.
It's a tiny part of the problem.
