Accents are a type of localization, are they not? US gear seems to be doing fine, but Commonwealth stuff has a lot of inconsistencies or just wrong names, that’s probably not a coincidence.
Pointing out that a * shouldn’t be there is definetly a localization issue though, I don’t know what your issue is.
It’s not a localisation issue, it’s a time appropriate terminology issue, and misnaming issue in the case of Mark III*. These things don’t have anything to do with language translation and transliteration, since the former is valid, but time inappropriate, naming. And the latter stems from confusing one item with another similar one.
I think your definition of localisation is very narrow, lets agree to disagree.
I mean I don’t understand how what you said is relevant to localisation, as in translation, transliteration, and/or cultural adaptation. Or how would you define localisation…?
Cultural and time sensetive is definetly my point, translating text through time is definetly an issue of localisation.
US designations system is well understood, the Commonwealth one isn’t, I’m trying to help.
Whilst it is definitely a time sensitivity issue, but time isn’t a locale, and it’s not cultural since it’s a government inventory system.
I’d argue it is, older texts often need updating to the present (same in reverse, try and talk with modern youth slang to a guy from the 80s, it goes both ways), and I’d argue that the game should either be using modern or WW2 era appropriate words, not older outdated ones. “The past is a foreign country” I believe this statement to be true.
And I’d still argue it is cultural, because US military representation is dominating in western culture, whilst the UKs isn’t, leading to a lot of confusion on the matter, one I want to clear up.
Also there is a name of the sawed off PPsh - Obrez - its a russian word.
Its been a silenced pistol and a polish bar also
Edit: Vz. as an entry or first “word” works, although it’s inconsistent on the English wikipedia. So hey ho.
