Adapt as in like this?

It's kinda funny since sometimes translators who is expected to "localize" isn't even an (english-speaking country) "local", english may very well be his 2nd or 3rd language. I mean I can understand your frustration and I do hope the scenes got better, in a particular way, and not the way many localized game has become for years.
