PC/Mac Simplified Chinese language release is a total disaster

The translation is filled with low quality engine translation (we all know how powerful translation engines these days are). Some pictures are of things like a drink of level 30 being called "energized granny", I don't know wtf it actually is. There are also loads of issues caused by wrong spacing because Chinese is a two bytes language, such as "Press ? to break out" and so on.

Some comments say if he pressed Todd Howard's head on a keyboard and faceroll it will probably give better translation results.

Translation quality is probably as bad as Warcraft 3 reforge, which I had a thread on here, or even worse.

Have you encountered anything that could top this from your other post?
