I highly disagree with you there. Readability is just as important as accuracy. If possible, this project should have both.

I have noticed numerous spelling and grammar errors when playing the game... it's not like fixing those is going to bork up your translation, is it?

How it reads doesn't really matter... fixing spelling/grammar errors and simple word order without changing the meaning is.

And, from what you're saying, I'm guessing we won't see the patch for another few years...?
