Kabam’s google translate costed my friend the legend badge !

Well believe it or not my friend has his game on Spanish and when he read the legend incursion challenge it didn't say anything about having it done only in “solo mode”. So he went ahead with another friend and both got to level 25 and guess what ? they didn't got the legend token. He even sent me pics of what his challenge says and its true there is nothing that indicates that it has to be done on “Solo”. Kabam clearly has to check their translator cuz this simple mistake costed my friend a lot of items and his time. Please kabam double check the simple text that you put on your game… Look at the pics below for evidence on everything.

But they should verify the translation out into their game

Google translate isn't always correct, you can not use Google translate as a word for word translation, it is rarely accurate.

Agreed. I don’t know that’s what Kabam uses or if they have a different service or hired translators. Whatever it is, the game screen above doesn’t mention solo incursions.

You dont say…. I am well aware of that, just wanted a tittle that would call everyone’s attention. If you think about it for a second for kabam to make this type of mistake you could easily think they use some crappy app translator than having someone translate and double check their text.

Have the game in English only. Problem solved.

ahmynuts

I mean. It SHOULD say solo. But there was no reason to believe they would allow you to get a legends title in coop lol (especially after what happened last time)

UnOriginal

As someone is spanish yeah the traduccións are a little funky some node are un english or german but with the names is spanish or vice versa but i dont remember something badly explained that wasnt badly explained in english already

There is around 7000 languages in the world but yeah he has to play the game in the language that you want…? Makes sense…

Seeing is “believing” and he read the challenge correctly. It didn't say anything about “Solo” so he grabbed a friend and decided to go for the tittle… I don't see how this is somewhat his fault for believing the wrong thing.

Average American thinking every single person on the planet can speak English, and if they don't, well too bad cause they should💀

I know some special kind of people will come & try to justify this blunder as well ......but it is not at all justifiable

It is completely irrelevant who is translating....Google or something else
It is Kabam's game & it is solely Kabam's responsibility to ensure that their intentions are accurately communicated to players across the globe

That man deserves a compensation
Won't get any bcoz "Kabam", but he surely deserves one

So in addition to playing the game now we also gotta make assumptions & add imaginary text to things?

ItsClobberinTime

Let's just laugh at this person and tell them it's their fault for not speaking English and doing exactly what the description says in their language, what a nice community 👏

Anyways yeah that's on Kabam, doubt they'll give you a response on the forums though so tell your friend to send a ticket to Kabam support and ask about the situation to see if maybe they can do something, still doubt they will but that's the only thing you can really do.

No reason to believe that… except that’s how it worked last time. With no text saying solo the assumption is that you can do it with a partner again.

I didnt say that but go off king. I'm just saying it wasnt hard to check the incursions thread to confirm it. I even admitted Kabam was ultimately at fault here for the mistranslation lol

The vast majority of players do not bother with the forums, and for good reason. The objective should be described correctly in game, as all other objectives are.

The translation isn't the problem. In the English version, it says solo incursions.

The Spanish description doesn't mention solo or with a partner so it really doesn't matter what it translates too. Without the word solo, no one will know.

The event announcement doesn't show it either.

Pretty sure all companies keep language experts who translate stuff for the most part
Google isn't to blame here

Gotta be professor X to play the game

GroundedWisdom

It's a translation issue, for sure. These things can happen with language differences. The problem is I don't see them awarding a Token. They've decided to go with Solos only. I could be wrong but I don't see it happening.
For the record, everyone and their dog has a Title now because of the piggy-back system last time.

Is the incursions thread in Spanish? This person obviously doesn't understand English (hence they have their game in Spanish) so they can't read the thread either if it's not in Spanish.

Is it google? Don't they have their translation team?

1. Google translate is not always accurate. The algorithm is based on statistical models that can make errors due to missing context. If you ever try to learn a second language using Google translate, you'll understand.
2. Are you seriously suggesting people with a language barrier now have to go into the forums, copy and paste a whole thread on a translator (that actually works) because the game team can't translate text in their own game properly?

It was kind of a joke as the basis for the thread is that Google translate does not work accurately

Demonzfyre

The amount of people in this thread that don't realize the actual issue is astounding. The description in Spanish is missing the word "solo". The English version has the correct description.
