Originally posted by **Cybernetics9798** August 2, 2024 ### Disclaimers - [X] I have searched the issue tracker to check if the issue has already been reported. - [ ] My issue happened while using mods. ### What happened? ### **The maximum sustainable depths for various diving suits are terribly wrong in Chinese descriptions. This applies to both the traditional Chinese version and the simplified Chinese version.** **The correct max depth for the combat diving suit should be 5700 m:** ![20240802152510_1](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/9a2ef430-bcf3-45ab-a561-01127bdd449e) But it's 6000 m in the Chinese version of the game, which unfortunately got my friend crushed by the water pressure the other day. Simplified Chinese version: ![20240802152628_1](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/7bc245a2-33b5-449f-b20a-5c112c654ed8) Traditional Chinese Version: ![combat_TC](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/25664aa1-d13b-4b6f-8127-db05c16c43be) **The same goes for PUCS. It should be 6200 m but it's 6000 m in Chinese.** English version: ![pucs_eng](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/1e166bd3-3540-42ec-8a31-7517998ce2aa) Simplified Chinese version: ![pucs_SC](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/d20d9e3e-fd3f-4385-bb86-211ac05d6012) Traditional Chinese version: ![PUCS_TC](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/32b5121e-2679-4c76-8fdc-086c60eab28b) **Also for the abyss diving suit (should be 6600 m but it's 10000 m in Chinese):** English version: ![abyss_eng](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/aa1a109f-e2f4-45d8-a722-260175aef43e) Simplified Chinese Version: ![Abyss_SC](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/54d49b14-2673-4212-bd90-76fc5a8f08bc) Traditional Chinese version: ![abyss_TC](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/0e9148da-6e54-488c-b9f2-da21d68e6dec) **It's even worse for Slipsuit. The Chinese descriptions did not include a diving limit AT ALL.** English version: ![slip_eng](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/3827368e-5f68-4364-a099-9c7a4b7e0afd) Simplified Chinese version: ![slip_SC](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/da2b5f61-a01e-4c18-8071-6ba646011eb8) Traditional Chinese version: ![slip_TC](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/d67ceb88-4e5c-42c6-b9dd-e31b11b78b77) ### Some Other Potential Translation Improvements I would recommend directly translating Naloxone as 纳洛酮 instead of 烯丙羟吗啡酮. The latter is much more confusing than the first one and is not a widely used translation in Chinese contexts. 纳洛酮 is the most common name for Naloxone. ![N](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/21b4b2cc-ebd0-4306-8dbc-b98edfc9cc05) The item "plastic seal" is translated as "elastic manmade skin" (可塑人造皮肤) in Chinese, which does not align with the original item name. If I were the person who would translate this, I prefer to put 塑料绷带 (plastic bandage) here instead of elastic manmade skin. ![seal](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/fb904749-d2c3-4fad-9b81-7c81ebd0d92e) Although the translation for Chloral Hydrate is correct (水合三氯乙醛), Chinese chemists usually call it 水合氯醛 in short. ![20240802172103_1](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/81c1a9fe-2e5c-41e3-970f-345077c3a26c) ### Reproduction steps 1. Switch the game to the Chinese language pack 2. Dive under 5700 m with a combat diving suit 3. You'll find the item description is trolling ### Bug prevalence Happens every now and then ### Single player or multiplayer?
