I suggest the kanji "吠", which means shouting, barking, or howling.

[Strings\Furniture.ja-JP.xml -> "CornPlant"]
Current: コーンプラント (Ko:n Puranto) but it's not actually a 'corn'.
Looks like it was mistranslated in many languages. It is English common name for the Dracaena fragrans (cornstalk dracaena or happy plant), a flowering African shrub commonly kept as a house plant. Common Japanese name seems to be ドラセナ (Dorasena) or even 幸福の木 (Happy Tree).
(In-game plant and real Dracaena fragrans)

Japanese text displays an incorrect character in Secret Note #3
I noticed an incorrect character in the Japanese text of Secret Note #3.
It currently displays:

I believe 「掴む」 is intended here.

Japanese terminology inconsistency: “Bean Hotpot” / “Bean Stew”
I noticed that the same dish seems to have two different names in the Japanese localization.
In Emily’s dialogue, she calls it 「豆のホットポット」, but the cooking menu calls the dish 「マメのシチュー」.
Because I had not learned the recipe yet, I initially thought “Bean Hotpot” might be a different dish and wondered why I couldn’t find it in the cooking menu.
I think it would be less confusing if the name were consistent in both places.
I’ve attached screenshots of Emily’s dialogue and the cooking menu for comparison.

Japanese translation error in Caroline's quest dialogue
Caroline’s dialogue contains a grammatical error in the Japanese localization.
The Japanese text is:
「それじゃ、貼りだしてたあなたがを見てくれたんだね。本当にありがとう！」
The phrase 「あなたがを」 is grammatically incorrect and makes the sentence difficult to understand.
The original English is:
“Hello Fri. 19! So you saw the ad I posted? Thanks so much!”
I think it may have been intended to mean something like:
「それじゃ、私が張り出してた紙を見てくれたんだね。本当にありがとう！」

Japanese localization issues: Willy, Linus, Alex, Lewis, and Gus
I noticed a few issues with the Japanese localization and wanted to report them together.
1. Willy — Unnatural sentence structure
Willy has the following dialogue:
「滝の間にあるには、変わった魚が一匹いると聞いたことがある…」
The phrase 「滝の間にあるには」 sounds grammatically unnatural and makes the sentence difficult to understand.
The original English is:
“I’ve heard a rumor that a special kind of fish can be found in the pools between waterfalls…”
A more natural Japanese translation might be:
「滝と滝の間の水場に、変わった魚が一匹いると聞いたことがある…」
or:
「滝つぼには、変わった魚が一匹いると聞いたことがある…」
⸻
2. Linus — Inconsistent first-person pronouns
Linus’s first-person pronoun is inconsistent across different dialogues and situations.
Normally, he uses 「オレ」 (ore), but in some situations he switches to 「わたし」 (watashi) or 「僕」 (boku).
For example, different pronouns appear during certain events, such as the Egg Festival and the Feast of the Winter Star, as well as in dialogue inside his tent.
Using 「オレ」 consistently would make his character voice more consistent across his dialogue.
⸻
3. Alex — Duplicated subject in dialogue
Alex has the following dialogue:
「あなたはエブリンは『巻きずし』を見るとはき気がするからものすごく嫌いなんだって。」
The subject appears to be duplicated: 「あなたはエブリンは…」.
This makes the sentence grammatically incorrect and difficult to understand. It may be a translation or text-substitution issue.
⸻
4. Lewis — Sudden shift to formal speech after completing a quest
When reporting the “Red Slime” eradication quest to Mayor Lewis, his first response suddenly uses formal/polite Japanese:
「おや、マーレさん！スライム問題の解決に協力してくれたのですね？ありがとうございます！」
Immediately afterward, Lewis returns to his usual casual and friendly style of speech.
This sudden change in politeness level feels inconsistent with his usual dialogue style. Using his standard casual/friendly tone here as well would make the conversation feel more natural and consistent.
⸻
5. Pierre — Typo in dialogue
Pierre has the following dialogue:
「ここだけの話ですが、店に誰もいない時、私はカウンターでオペラの練習をすることがあんです。」
「あるんです」の「る」が抜けており、「あんです」になっています。
A corrected version would be:
「ここだけの話ですが、店に誰もいない時、私はカウンターでオペラの練習をすることがあるんです。」
⸻
6. Qi’s quest — Item name inconsistency
In Qi’s quest “Four Precious Stones,” the Japanese text currently says:
「4つの貴重な石
プリズムジェムを4個見つけるんだ。それを私のコレクションボックスに入れてくれ。」
However, the Japanese item name used in the game is 「レインボージェム」, not 「プリズムジェム」.
It would be more consistent to use the game’s existing item name:
「レインボージェムを4個見つけるんだ。それを私のコレクションボックスに入れてくれ。」
⸻
7. Hay — Unnatural counter for large quantities
The game displays:
「ほし草を215つサイロに入れた。」
「つ」 can naturally be used for small quantities in Japanese, such as 「1つ」「2つ」 or 「9つ」. However, using 「215つ」 sounds very unnatural.
For larger quantities, 「個」 would be much more natural:
「干し草を215個サイロに入れた。」
⸻
8. Gus — Inconsistent way of addressing the player
Gus uses different forms of address when speaking to the player in different situations.
For example:
The change between 「マーレ」 and 「マーレさん」 feels inconsistent, especially since these are established dialogues in different situations.
If Gus is intended to use a consistent form of address for the player, it may be worth checking these lines for consistency.
⸻
9. Unnecessary punctuation in a letter greeting
In the letter I received after donating bones, the greeting is:
「マーレさんへ、/マーレへ、」
The comma after 「へ」 seems unnecessary and sounds unnatural in Japanese.
I think it would be more natural as:
「マーレさんへ」
たくさんの骨の寄付をありがとう。
The comma may have been carried over from the English-style “Dear Mare,”, but in Japanese, 「〜さんへ」 is normally followed by a line break rather than a comma.
⸻
10. Clint — Inconsistent greeting and way of addressing the player
In Clint’s everyday dialogue at the Saloon, he says:
「あら、マーレさんこんにちは。少し疲れてるように見えてたらすまない。今朝からずっとかまどで作業していたからな。」
But during the Desert Festival, he says:
「よう、マーレ。実を言うと、おれはまつりがあまり好きじゃないんだ。」
The difference in his greeting and the way he addresses the player feels a little strange.
「よう、マーレ。」 feels more natural for Clint’s usual casual speaking style, while 「あら、マーレさんこんにちは。」 feels unusually polite and feminine for him.
I have screenshots of both lines for comparison.
Thank you for taking the time to look into these localization issues!

- 「マーレさん」 — in his dialogue at the Saloon
- 「マーレ」 — when giving the player a gift during the Feast of the Winter Star
The change between 「マーレ」 and 「マーレさん」 feels inconsistent, especially since these are established dialogues in different situations.
If Gus is intended to use a consistent form of address for the player, it may be worth checking these lines for consistency.

1.Sebastian — “Tonight” added to the Luau soup dialogue
On Summer 10, Sebastian says:
「今夜のルアウスープに何を入れるか考えたか？
オレは何がいいか分からないがな・・・お前が決めてくれ！」
However, the English dialogue says:
“Have you thought about what you’re going to put in the luau soup?
I have no idea what’s good… you’re the chef!”
The English text does not mention “tonight.”
Since the Luau takes place on Summer 11, the Japanese 「今夜の」 makes it sound like the Luau soup will be prepared or eaten that same night, which is inconsistent with the event schedule.
I think 「今夜の」 may have been added unintentionally in the Japanese translation. Something like 「ルアウのスープに何を入れるか考えたか？」 would match the English more closely and avoid the timing issue.
⸻
2.Wizard — Inconsistent capitalization of the gold symbol
The Help Wanted board displays the reward as “700G”, while the same quest’s completion screen displays “700g”.
⸻
3.Evelyn — Duplicate particle 「を」
Evelyn’s dialogue contains a duplicated 「を」:
「それじゃ、貼りだしてたお知らせをを見てくれたんだね。すごく助かるよ。」
The 「を」 is duplicated in 「お知らせをを見て」.
It should presumably be:
「それじゃ、貼りだしてたお知らせを見てくれたんだね。すごく助かるよ。」
⸻
4.Clint — Unnatural phrasing in quest completion dialogue
After completing Clint’s Help Wanted quest, he says:
「ありがとな。鉱石は持って帰っていいぜ。みんな質は良いだ。」
The final sentence, 「みんな質は良いだ」, sounds unnatural and grammatically incorrect in standard Japanese.
「良い」 is an い-adjective, so adding 「だ」 directly after it in this sentence does not produce a natural sentence. It also sounds inconsistent with Clint’s usual way of speaking.
Possible natural alternatives would be:
「みんな質は良いな。」
「みんな質はいいぜ。」
「みんないい品質だ。」
Or, more naturally:
「どれも質がいいな。」
The intended meaning seems to be that all of the ore is of good quality. Could this sentence be checked?
⸻
5.Leo①ー Unnatural phrasing in dialogue「おり」
Leo’s dialogue:
* English: “Can’t talk right now. I have to really focus…”
* Japanese: 「今はおりできないよ、マーレ。集中したいんだ…」
The word 「おり」 seems incorrect here and makes the sentence unnatural in Japanese.
I attached screenshots of both the English and Japanese versions for comparison.
This appears to be a Japanese localization/typographical error.
⸻
-Leo②ー「乾いている」
I noticed a possibly misleading Japanese translation in Leo’s dialogue.
English:
“Uncle Linus says I should ‘cook’ my fish before eating it… I’m having a hard time getting used to it… so dry…”
Japanese:
「魚を食べるときは 料理をした方が良いってライナスさんが言うんだ」
「ぜんぜん慣れないよ…とっても乾いてるから…」
The Japanese 「とっても乾いてるから」 is understandable, but it can sound like the fish itself has been dried or preserved, such as dried fish or jerky, rather than that the cooked fish has a dry, flaky texture.
For this context, something like 「パサパサしてて」 or 「パサついてて」 might convey the meaning of the English “so dry…” more naturally to Japanese players.
This is a minor wording issue rather than a mistranslation, but I thought it might be worth mentioning because the current wording can make the meaning a little confusing.
⸻
Leo③ — Missing 「み」 in dialogue
Leo’s dialogue says:
「ジャスはボクたいなやつを好きになると思う？」
It appears that the 「み」 in 「みたいな」 is missing.
The sentence should be:
「ジャスはボクみたいなやつを好きになると思う？」
「ボクたいな」 is not a natural Japanese expression, while 「ボクみたいなやつ」 means “someone like me.”
This seems to be a typo or missing character in the Japanese localization.
⸻
Leo④: 「博識な町民」になるための高速バス
English: “I’m on the fast track to becoming a ‘well-rounded citizen’… whatever that means.”
“Fast track” is an idiom meaning a quick/direct route toward achieving something. It appears to have been translated as 「高速バス」 in Japanese, which changes the meaning.
⸻
6. Caroline & Kent — Repeated grammatical errors in the same dialogue template
I found another dialogue with the same wording pattern as Caroline’s line.
Caroline:
「あなたはピエールは「トルティーヤ」を見るといやなからものすごく嫌いなんだって。やってしまった身だからよくわかってる。」
Kent:
「あなたはヴィンセントは「粘土」を見るといやなからものすごく嫌いなんだって。やってしまった身だからよくわかってる。」
The same phrases appear in both dialogues:
「あなたは○○は」
「○○を見るといやなから」
Both sentences are grammatically unnatural and difficult to understand.
The English version of Caroline’s dialogue is:
“Did you know that my husband hates ‘Tortilla’? He finds it absolutely nasty. I learned that one the hard way.”
I don’t have a screenshot of Kent’s English dialogue, but I took a screenshot of the Japanese version because the same wording pattern appears there.
This seems to be an issue with a shared dialogue template rather than an isolated typo.
⸻
7. Jodi — Unnatural colon in dialogue
Jodi has more than one dialogue with the same punctuation:
「気を付けてね：ケントは刺し身がほんとに大嫌いみたい。思い浮かべるだけでも気がめいるらしいよ。」
and:
「気を付けてね：ヴィンセントははちみつ酒がほんとに大嫌いみたい。思い浮かべるだけでも気がめいるらしいよ。」
The colon after 「気を付けてね」 feels unnatural in Japanese.
The English version uses:
“A word of warning: …”
The colon is natural in English, but in Japanese, something like 「気を付けてね。ケントは…」 or 「気を付けてね。ヴィンセントは…」 would sound more natural.
I included both Japanese examples because the same punctuation appears in both.

After completing Clint’s Help Wanted quest, he says:
「ありがとな。鉱石は持って帰っていいぜ。みんな質は良いだ。」
The final sentence, 「みんな質は良いだ」, sounds unnatural and grammatically incorrect in standard Japanese.
「良い」 is an い-adjective, so adding 「だ」 directly after it in this sentence does not produce a natural sentence. It also sounds inconsistent with Clint’s usual way of speaking.
Possible natural alternatives would be:
「みんな質は良いな。」
「みんな質はいいぜ。」
「みんないい品質だ。」
Or, more naturally:
「どれも質がいいな。」
The intended meaning seems to be that all of the ore is of good quality. Could this sentence be checked?

Japanese localization / wording issues
Hi! I found a few Japanese localization issues that may be worth reviewing.
I’m playing on iOS, Stardew Valley 1.6.15.1, Japanese, single-player, no mods.
I’ve attached screenshots of all of these.
1. Sebastian — frog event
During Sebastian’s 14-heart event, he says:
「助けて欲しいんだ。茂みのところに行って、彼をこっちに捕まえてきて欲しいんだ。ここで待って彼を捕まえる。」
The wording 「彼をこっちに捕まえてきて欲しい」 sounds like the player is supposed to catch the frog and bring it back to Sebastian.
However, in the actual event, the player shakes the bush, the frog runs toward Sebastian, and Sebastian catches the frog himself. The following sentence also says 「ここで待って彼を捕まえる」.
So the wording seems confusing/inconsistent with what actually happens in the event. Something like 「彼をこっちに追い出してきて欲しい」 might better convey the intended action.
The event itself confirms that the player shakes the bush and the frog runs toward Sebastian.
⸻
2. Leo — duplicated punctuation
At the Luau, Leo says:
「ボクのふるさとは海のむこうにあるんだ。近いのかな？遠いのかな？。」
The final 「？。」 seems to be an accidental combination of a question mark and a Japanese period.
It would presumably be:
「近いのかな？遠いのかな？」
instead.
⸻
3. Various characters — inconsistent wording / formatting
I also noticed several smaller inconsistencies:
Clint
「○○gを受け取り時に支払」
「精査した後、渡した原石は返します」
The second sentence is understandable, but 「返します」 can sound as though Clint will return the ore, rather than that the player may keep the ore after inspection.
Evelyn
「180gを受け取り時に支払」
Lewis
「500Gぶんの小切手を同封」
Willy
「賞金 200G」
There is inconsistent capitalization between g and G when displaying gold amounts.
Sam
(^_-)
Abigail
:)
There also seem to be different styles of emoticons used in Japanese dialogue.

「助けて欲しいんだ。茂みのところに行って、彼をこっちに捕まえてきて欲しいんだ。ここで待って彼を捕まえる。」
The wording 「彼をこっちに捕まえてきて欲しい」 sounds like the player is supposed to catch the frog and bring it back to Sebastian.
However, in the actual event, the player shakes the bush, the frog runs toward Sebastian, and Sebastian catches the frog himself. The following sentence also says 「ここで待って彼を捕まえる」.
So the wording seems confusing/inconsistent with what actually happens in the event. Something like 「彼をこっちに追い出してきて欲しい」 might better convey the intended action.
The event itself confirms that the player shakes the bush and the frog runs toward Sebastian.

2. Leo — duplicated punctuation
At the Luau, Leo says:
「ボクのふるさとは海のむこうにあるんだ。近いのかな？遠いのかな？。」
The final 「？。」 seems to be an accidental combination of a question mark and a Japanese period.
It would presumably be:
「近いのかな？遠いのかな？」
instead.

3. Various characters — inconsistent wording / formatting
I also noticed several smaller inconsistencies:
Clint
「○○gを受け取り時に支払」
「精査した後、渡した原石は返します」
The second sentence is understandable, but 「返します」 can sound as though Clint will return the ore, rather than that the player may keep the ore after inspection.
Evelyn
「180gを受け取り時に支払」
Lewis
「500Gぶんの小切手を同封」
Willy
「賞金 200G」
There is inconsistent capitalization between g and G when displaying gold amounts.
Sam

Abigail

There also seem to be different styles of emoticons used in Japanese dialogue.
