 Description   

Minecraft: Pocket Edition Korean translation is just being one of the best useless translation ever that I've saw. Since 0.11.0 (Which is the version that translation ((multi) language) system got added to Minecraft: Pocket Edition), the Korean translators were making some invalid translations. For example, on 0.11.0 beta, they translated Bat to 방망이 (A stuff that you use when playing baseball), which is supposed to be translated to 박쥐 (An animal) (It got fixed long time ago). They're just ruining this game, I even bet they don't know English. (P.S: Also, I tried to find Minecraft: Pocket Edition translation crowdin, but instead of Minecraft PC crowdin from jeb, I couldn't find the official Minecraft: Pocket Edition translation crowdin.)

If you could provide some more examples that would be helpful, please.

The bat though XD

Comment by Johnmacro [ 17/Feb/17 ]

Unfortunately, I can't mention all of them because there are so many of them.

It would be better to ask Minecraft: Pocket Edition Korean translators "Please stop ruining the game, only keep doing translate if you guys won't make invalid translations and fix all of them". How Mojang selected translators that are not good at it (translation)?

But if you really need some examples, I could provide some.

Your correction in Bat is indeed helpful (and I laughed a lot). Can you provide more examples of incorrect translation with suggested corrections so that Mojang can fix more of them? MCPE, unlike Java edition, does not use crowdin for some reason I don't know why.

FYI my primary language is Japanese but I always play it in English because the Japanese translation is so strange too
