English translation has gotten better, but it’s still machine translated.

I started a fanmade project to improve it, and got to 0.2 before deciding to remaster the game from scratch. For more details, check the Improved Translations mod pinned in the OP.
Oh, well that's really cool of you... but I'm also disappointed that the dev doesn't care about that =/

I understand where the dev is coming from - as he is Russian, his language doesn't translate to English all that well, actually, no matter what MTL tool he uses; professional translation work is required to get the point of the original text across (the human touch).

LM simply doesn't have the time to do that given his fast and unconventionally reliable schedule (bi-monthly releases), so the broken English is just something we have to live with in order to get more Imperial Chronicles - an absolutely fair trade, as LM is probably the #1 developer for me in speed, content, and reliability; my longest Patreon subscription by a mile.

And I spoke to him, he approves of my efforts, so feel free to consider my mod somewhat "official" (even though he probably doesn't personally check it due to the language barrier) - he was the one who linked my mod to the OP in the first place.

Everyone benefits from a more natural sounding English translation.
Speaking of translations. What exactly is Queen's accurate name? At one point, I swear I saw Seraphina in one update. But then I saw Serafina. Is that like a translation error? Shouldn't her name be Seraphine in general, to better match her sister Celestine? Not to mention, it flows better as an elven name.

I assume it should be Seraphine? Rhymes better with Celestine tho

The walkthrough said a warrior character would get some kind of mention about a vampire in the castle, but I played through the whole game and never saw the scene. I saw the scene with the one in the village at the very start of the game. Was that part changed? I think she appeared in one of the summary slides where the scene was supposed to have been, but it was blank.

A good question. I’ve been using Seraphina (from the original script IIRC) since I totally forgot about her twin’s name.

Seraphina/Serafina just sounds exotic enough to where it makes sense for elves; I could change Celestine into Celestina to match it.

I got the scene where she gives you the date rape drink but you wake up because you're too manly which is what the walkthrough said would happen. I didn't get any later scene though which is not what the walkthrough says.

Sona is Bookworm exclusive. You used to be able to get hints of her still coming after you on the warrior path, but I believe the dev removed those from the game recently.
