The translation of Chinese Simplified and Chinese Traditional in Minecraft Dungeons is of low quality.
To name a few wrong translations in Simplified Chinese:
| Origin | Current Simplified Chinese | Suggested Simplified Chinese | Reason | Internal Ref. | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 修改器 | 修饰器/挑战属性 | the current one's meaning is closer to game cheater | |||
| 力气药水 | 力量药水 | not a regular expression | |||
| 已送礼 | 赠送的物品 | the current one means sent to others instead of gifted item | |||
| 力气 | 力量 | not a regular expression | |||
| /statuseffect_stunned | 击昏 | 眩晕 | the current one is an action instead of an effect | ||
| 战斗法杖 | 战斗之杖 | the item isn't a magic staff | |||
| ItemType/DualCrossbows_Unique2 | 宝贝弩 | 幼体弩 | here to express larvae, not darling | ||
| /HUD_Nope | 否 | 不 | the current one means negate instead of no | ||

| Mission/squidcoast_name | 鱿鱼海滩 | 鱿鱼海岸 | coast, not beach | ||
| Mission/pumpkinpasturesbonus_name | 灾厄栖所(zhcn)/奇厄天堂(zhtw) | 灾厄港口 | the current one means Arch habitat(zhcn) or Arch heaven(zhtw) instead of Arch haven | ||
| Mission/deserttemplebonus_name | 低层神庙 | 地下神殿 | it means the temple under the desert temple, not Lower floor | ||
| 下之厅 | 大厅之下 | Google translation | |||
| MobType/mob_ChickenJockeyTower | 鸡骑骑骑士 | 鸡骑士塔 | the current one means Chicken Jockey Jockey Jockey | ||
| MobType/mob_CauldronBoss | 腐化炼药锅 | 腐化锅釜怪 | CauldronBoss is a mob, not an item in the usual sense | ||
| 猥傀 | 恼鬼 | dismatch the Java Edition translation | |||
| 尸傀 | 尸壳 | dismatch the Java Edition translation | |||
| 丛林恶煞 | 丛林憎恶 | 恶煞 is used to describe person | |||
| statuseffect_shadowform | 幻体 | 暗影 | the current one means phantom body | ||
| Enchantment/Bow | 弓箭恩赐 | 弓之恩惠 | the current one means Arrow's Boon instead of Bow's Boon | ||
| Enchantment/Recycler | 循环器 | 回收 | the current one means Circulator | ||
| Enchantment/Supercharge | 超充能 | 超级蓄力 | the current one means Hypercharge (the electricity) | ||
| InterestLabels/interest_map_legend | 地图传奇 | 地图图例 | the current one means The legend of Map (sounds like a literature) | ||

| "And the Villagers of the Pumpkin Pastures go on to fight another day." | 南瓜牧场的村民们活了下来。 | 南瓜牧场的刌民们活了下来。 | says "Illager" instead of "Villager" | ||
| Mission/Trial_ThemedTemplate | {0} 个试炼|{0}
挑战 |
wrong in grammar | |||

| InterestLabels/interest_map_legend | 地图传奇 | 地图图例 | the current one means The legend of Map (sounds like a literature) | ||
| MobType/mob_ChickenJockeyTower | 鸡骑骑骑士 | 鸡骑士塔 | the current one means Chicken Jockey Jockey Jockey | ||
| "charge" | 充能 | 蓄力 | the current one always used for electricity, not accumulate | ||
| "supercharge" versus "overcharge" | 超充能 & 超充能 | both are translated into the same phrase | |||
| "elder guardian" versus "ancient guardian" | 远古守卫者 & 远古守卫者 | 远古守卫者 & 上古守卫者 | both are translated into the same phrase |
There are far more mistakes than above table.
This problem affects ALL languages. As MCPE-61166 described, Bedrock translations have been worse for years. None of us want to see that every new game released by Mojang is with a terrible translation.
I genuinely hope that you can fully adopt the community translation packs | at least Dungeon-exclusive terms. These packs are widely adopted and welcomed by the community. I list the posts of community translation pack here:
