Please post the errors you find here!

Please include:
  • The exact text or a screenshot of it, so translators can find the line.
  • Which platform are you playing on (e.g. Linux, macOS, Windows, PS4, etc)?
  • Which game version do you have? (Click the "?" button on the title screen and check the bottom-left corner.)

Here are previous user reports that still apply in Stardew Valley 1.5.6 and 1.6-alpha (and aren't covered above). Note that it's up the translators to decide whether reports are correct.
file location: Stardew Valley\Content\Strings\Locations.zh-CN.xnb

Some parrot's hints of golden walnuts locations are incorrect.
Incorrect translation(West is translated to East, Hidden is translated to Buried):
line 355: "NutHint_WestBuried": "还有 {0} 个埋在东边……",
line 358: "NutHint_NorthHidden": "还有 {0} 个埋在北边……",

Correct translation:
line 355: "NutHint_WestBuried": "还有 {0} 个埋在西边……",
line 358: "NutHint_NorthHidden": "还有 {0} 个藏在北边……",
2.Halloween notice,"tomorrow" is translated into "today"(今天),"tomorrow" should be translated into "明天"
3."Rarecrow" is translated into "rare crow"(珍奇乌鸦),"Rarecrow" should be translated into "珍稀稻草人"

The recipe for "Algae Soup" is 4 "green algae", but there are also items in the game named "seaweed". The Chinese word for "Algae Soup" is " 海藻汤(Seaweed soup)", which is a name that is easily misunderstood by Chinese players (seaweed and green algae are both algae, but in Chinese they can refer to two completely different things).

My suggestion is to translate it as "藻类汤剂", "藻类汤" or "绿藻汤".
"Old Master Cannoli" is translated into"Master Butter Roll"(老师傅奶油卷),"Old Master Cannoli" should be translated into "老坎诺利大师"

When first meeting Demetrius the player would be greeted with "Greetings! I'm Demetrius, local scientist and father". The word "father" was translated to "神父", which, in most context of Chinese meant "a male clergyman/priest of Christian churches". This made many Chinese players to suggest Demetrius as the head of Yoba church and leader of Yoba-related religious life in Pelican Town, despite that in-game he had very little link with Yoba. Based on Demetrius's performance and heart events in the game, I believe the word "father" was supposedly used to signify his role in his family with Robin - especially since a lot of heart events and quests surrounding him were about how he developed a normal relationship with his two childs.

For now, the overall translation quality of Simplified Chinese is very low, so I'll give feedback on a small part here. Some of them affect the player's playing experience, and some are too obvious to ignore.
The amount of text is too much, so I will describe it directly in text and hope it will not affect the understanding.

Intro Animation, Player in Joja Corp
English: Terminated
Current: 已停业
Correct: 已解雇
(But it is correct in Japanese)

Secret Woods Stone Statue
English: Old Master Cannoli
Current: 老师傅香炸奶酪卷
Correct: 老坎诺利大师
(Be translated into the name of a dish...)

The Weather Channel KOZU 5
English: It's going to be cloudy, with gusts of wind throughout the day.
Current: 今天多云,一整天都会狂风大作。
Correct: 明天多云,一整天都会狂风大作。

Spirit's Eve Lewis' Mail
English: here to help us celebrate tomorrow's festival... the Spirit's Eve.
Current: 呼啸着和我们一起庆祝今天的节日……万灵节!
Correct: 呼啸着和我们一起庆祝明天的节日……万灵节!

Haley's Dialogue (Female)
English: Nice makeup. Wait... Are you even wearing any? I'm bored.
Current: 不错的样式。哦等等……你穿了吗?我好无聊。
Correct: 不错的妆容。等等……你是不是没化妆?我好无聊。

Location Names
English: 1 River Road • 2 River Road • 1 Willow Lane • 2 Willow Lane
Current: 1 河间大道 • 2 河间大道 • 1柳巷 • 2柳巷
Correct: 河间大道1号 • 河间大道2号 • 柳巷1号 • 柳巷2号

Jas' Room Dollhouse
English: /
Current: 小家庭围坐在餐桌边。等等……除了爷爷。出于某种原因,他挤到了床底下。
Correct: 小家庭围坐在餐桌边。等等……除了爷爷。出于某种原因,他被塞到了床底下。

All The Special Quests (Both Town and Qi)
English: ship
Current: 出售 (or 售出, I don't quite remember, all of them means "sell")
Correct: 使用出货箱售出 (or 运送, but 运送 is not so clear for players to understand)
(This problem is more serious and misleading, often people sell things to Pierre and then ask why the task is not completed)

Shane's Dialogue (After Marriage)
English: I didn't sleep well last night so I'm hoping this fresh air will get the juices flowing. What juices, you ask? Heh... you're weird.
Current: 我昨晚睡得不好所以我希望这新鲜空气能促进果汁流动。你问什么果汁?呵……你真奇怪。
Correct: 我昨晚睡得不好,希望这里新鲜的空气能让我精力能充沛一些。
(English idioms but tranlated directly.The current translation is a direct translation, there are still a bunch of Chinese players who don't know what "let the juice flow" is. It's a cold joke, It is difficult to correspond in Chinese, so I omitted the second half.)

Shane's Event (In Forest, ID 3910674)
English: ...I've pumped his stomach and re-hydrated his body.
Current: ……我已经帮他清洗过胃部并且对他身体进行了再水化。
Correct: ……我已经帮他清洗过胃部并且给他的身体补充了水分。

Current: 只能放置在谷仓里。
Correct: 只能放置在畜棚里。
Demetrius‘ First Meeting Dialog

Shane's 4 Hearts Event

Stardew Valley Fair:Marnie's comments on the "purple lettuce"
Current: 你的农庄展览格子里放了些样子很奇怪紫色生菜啊!
Correct: 你的农庄展览格子里放了些样子很奇怪的紫色生菜啊!

Quest text of 'Getting Started'
English: Cultivate and harvest a parsnip
Current: 播种并收割防风草。
Correct: 播种并收获防风草。

Quest text of 'Pam Is Thirsty'
English: ...if you have hops and a keg.
Current: 如果你有啤酒花和酿造桶
Correct: 如果你有啤酒花和小桶

And many texts in quest descriptions needed replacements:
"矿场" should be corrected as "矿井"
"骷髅洞" should be corrected as "骷髅洞穴"
Description of Seed Maker
English: Place crops inside to produce a varying amount of seeds. Doesn't work with fruit tree crops.
Current: 将谷物放入,将会产出各种各样的种子。对水果树类的谷物无效。

Pam's Dialog(House upgrade, not anonymous)
English: ...Is there any catch?
Current: 有什么陷井吗?
Correct: 有什么陷阱吗?
Fairy Stone
Current: 精灵石
Correct: 仙女石/仙子石
(in Chinese, "fairy" usually refers to 仙女, in the game, it refers to 农作物仙子, while 精灵 should be elves)

Fairy Stone's description
English: An old miner's song suggests these are made from the bones of ancient fairies.
Current: 古老的矿工歌谣里说,这些石头是古代精灵的骨头做的。
Correct: 古老的矿工歌谣里说,这些石头是古代仙子的骨头做的。
(精灵的骨头(bones of elves) contradicts what is said in Elvish Jewelry's description "No Elvish bones have ever been found" )

a personal suggestion for Fern Islands
It is currently named “芬”群岛 and could easily be misinterpreted as “芬群”岛,because it is rare to use only one character for a place name in Chinese. From my own point of view, I suggest changing the translation to “芬恩群岛”,which will reduce the likelihood of misunderstandings
- Language: Simplified Chinese(简体中文)
- Platform: PC
- Version: 1.5.6 (latest version on Steam)

Artifact Spot's description
English: Uh... how did you get this in your inventory? Ape made a booboo.
Current: 呃……你是怎么弄到这个的?猿猴撞伤了。
Correct: 呃……你是怎么弄到这个的?ConcernedApe惊呆了。
(Dictionaries say that "made a booboo" means made a mistake. I guess here ConcernedApe means that he's surprised. However, the current translation translated booboo into injury)
Magic Bait's description
English: Allows you to catch fish from any season, time, or weather, from whichever type of water you cast into.
Current: 能让你在所有类型的水中钓出所有季节、时间、天气的鱼。
Correct: 能让你在对应的水域中钓出所有季节、时间、天气的鱼。
(This is just a terrible translation mistake.)
in the game files, StringsFromCSFiles.zh-CN.xnb.

Please just delete the spaces on both sides of the {0}. This resulted in weird spaces in Chinese sentences.
Penny's dialogue during Festival of Ice
English: Um, okay... I think I might stick with something more conventional.
Current: 呃,好吧……我还是觉得保守一点好。
Correct: 呃,好吧……我觉得我还是遵循传统比较好。

Lewis' dialogue when fishing competition is finished
English: Now, for the winner of this year's ice fishing competition, [Willy/Player], with 5 big, fresh fish
Current: 本届冰钓比赛的胜利者会获得……[威利/玩家名],以及5条大而生猛的鱼
Better: 现在揭晓本届冰钓比赛的胜利者……[威利/玩家名],以5条大而生猛的鱼的成绩获胜
(There is a problem with the structure of the current sentence, because it reads like this: The winner will receive...... Willy!)
Rarecrows
First of all, I suggest that they need to be renamed as 稀有稻草人 instead of the current "珍奇乌鸦".
I know that "Rarecrow" and "Scarecrow" might be some kind of puns. However, in Chinese, "scarecrow" simply means "straw man", which has nothing to do with crows in the literal sense. So, it's quite confusing to translate "Rarecrow" to "rare crows". "Rare scarecrow"(rare straw man) might be a better idea.

Second, the number format in the description text is confusing
for example: 将它们全部收齐!(8-1)
In English, the text is "1 of 8". It's obvious what it means: This is the first one, and there are 8 in total. However, I didn't know what (8-1) meant until I saw it in English. For a better understanding, I suggest completing the sentence in the Chinese translation as:第1个,共8个
The mail from Pierre
English: ...Sorry for the stock message
Current: 股份信息给您带来诸多不便,还请谅解
Correct: 群发消息,如有不便,还请谅解

Shirt178
English: Turtleneck Sweater.
Current: 龟脖毛衣
Correct: 高领毛衣
Furnace's description
English: Turns ore and coal into metal bars.
Current: 将矿石和煤炭转换为金属方块。
Correct: 将矿石和煤炭熔炼为金属锭。
Eye Patch's description
English: You can't tell if it's real or just from a costume shop.
Current: 难以看出是的还是服装店买来的。
Correct: 无法分辨它是真实的还是仅仅是服装道具。


Spring Onion Mastery cutscene

1. Vincent's dialog
English: "sp...spwing onion"
Current: “圭..菁葱”
Correct: “青…菁葱”
(I know that the current translation used the word "圭", which is split from the word "青", to match with "sp...spwing" in English. However, this translation makes the whole conversation difficult to understand.)

2. Jas' dialog
English: "No, no, no, no......"
Current: “不要…要…”
Correct: “不要…不要…”

3. Spring onions are now worth 5x the gold!
Current:青葱现在值5倍金子
Correct:大葱的售价提升为原来的5倍。
George's dialog during egg festival, year 2
English: Evelyn made eggs and leeks for breakfast......
Current: 伊芙莉早餐做了鸡蛋和韭葱……
Correct: 艾芙琳早餐做了鸡蛋和韭葱……
(Evelyn's name was translated incorrectly....)

Alex's dialog during Spirits Eve
Current: 好像过去看看哦。
Correct: 好想过去看看哦。
(Just a typo)
Marlon's dialog during egg festival, year 2
English: Have you ever hunted for slime eggs? Now there's a true challenge...
Current: 你抓到过史莱姆蛋吗?这就是真正的挑战了……
Better: 你试过寻找史莱姆蛋吗?这就是真正的挑战了……

Wizard's dialog during The Luau
English: The merpeople are curious about your festivities.
Current: 鱼群们对你们的节日很感兴趣。
Correct: 鱼人一族对你们的节日很感兴趣。
Maru's dialog during egg festival, year 2
English: I'm just catching up with Penny. Have you had your fill of eggs?
Current: 我才刚赶上潘妮。你的进度如何?
Correct: 我在和潘妮聊天呢。你找到所有的蛋了吗?

Willy‘s dialogue on winter 15
English: I can't get me a good night's sleep with that night market going on... eh, but that's okay. I'm flexible.
current: 由于夜市还没有撤,我无法安然入睡...呃,但没关系。我很灵活。
better: 夜市开得那么热闹,我可睡不着...不过也没关系,我很灵活变通的。

Willy‘s dialogue on winter 16
English: Have you been on the deep-sea submarine? The captain's an old friend.
current: 你坐过深海潜艇吗?艇长是老朋友。

The mail sent by Lewis on fall 26 about Spirit's Eve
(Well, the mail's Chinese translation is of poor quality. So I'll just post the full text of the version I rewrote without comparing them.)

Dear <player>,
Notice a chill in the air? It could just be the approach of winter...
Or it could be the tingle of a dark specter, here to help us celebrate tomorrow's festival... the Spirit's Eve.
Come to town at 10 PM if you'd like to participate.

亲爱的 @,

Gus' Dialog during Spirit's Eve
English: It's a lot of fun to cook with pumpkin. Such an interesting fruit.
Current: 南瓜可以搭配出很多种煮法。真是一种有趣的蔬菜。
Better: 南瓜可以搭配出很多种煮法。真是一种有趣的果实。(to match with the word "fruit")

Elliott's Two Hearts Event
1.when Elliott is asking what kind of novels the player likes, there are 3 options: "Mystery", "Romance", "Sci-Fi". The option "Mystery" should be translated as "悬疑" instead of current "悬念"

2.Elliott's response to "mystery"
English: Mystery, huh? It's definitely an exciting genre. I'll remember that.
Current: 很神奇吧?这种类型的确是很让人兴奋呢。真是终身难忘啊。
Correct: 悬疑,是吗?这种类型的确很让人兴奋。我会记住的。

3.Elliott's response to "romance"
English:Ah, one of the classic genres. I'll remember that.
Current:啊,传统风格啊。真是终身难忘呢。
Correct:噢,经典的类型。我会记住的。

4.Elliott's response to "sci-fi"
English: I would've never guessed! I suppose even those of the 'earthiest' profession sometimes have their heads in the stars. I'll remember that.
Current:真是想不到啊!就算是是那些“粗俗的”职业也有出人头地的一天。我会铭记在心的。(The translations are so terrible that it even distorted Elliott's character)
Correct:真是猜不到啊!我想,就算是那些“脚踏实地”的人们也有仰望星空的时候。我会铭记在心的。

Elliott's Eight Hearts Event

Current: 帕姆和佩妮正全神贯注地看着!
Correct: 潘姆和潘妮正在全神贯注地看电影!

3. English: It's great to be able to do things as a family again!
Current: 能再次一家人一起做事真是太好了!
Better: 能够再次一家人一起行动真是太好了
The category: Animal Product(动物制品)
View attachment 16503View attachment 16504

I suggest renaming this category as “动物产品”. Because the word “制品” indicates that these products are made of/from animals, which is not true and too brutal for the main idea of this game. “产品” simply means they are produced by animals.
Stable's description
English: Allows you to keep and ride a horse. Horse included.
Current: 让你饲养马匹。包括马匹。
Correct: 让你饲养马匹。附赠一匹马。

"MovieInvite_InvitedBySomeoneElse"

PC Steam v1.5.6 Hotfix #3

The game is using 2 different translations for "craft" (crafting/crafted).

The "hammer" tab in the game menu is "制造", meanwhile, in other places, it's still "打造" (e.g., 已打造物品 or 显示高级打造信息).

For the consistency of this game, I suggest that we use the same word.

Robin's dialog when I want her to build a nursery house is misleading: It says it costs 50,000g and 150 pieces of hardwood, but in fact it's 65,000g and 100 pieces of hardwood. Obviously these data was hardcoded in the translation text, but they forgot to change them after 1.6 update.

Original text: "I can increase the size of your house and add a nursery. It will cost {0}g and you'll also need to provide me with {1} pieces of hardwood. Are you interested?"
Current translation: "我可以扩建你的房子并加盖一个婴儿室。此升级需要消耗50,000金和150块硬木。你确定吗?"
Correct translation: "我可以扩建你的房子并加盖一个婴儿室。此升级需要消耗{0}金和{1}块硬木。你确定吗?"

I've found that the translation issues mentioned above have not been resolved. I would like to ask whether it's possible to consider urging the localization team to solve these issues as soon as possible, or simply switch to a different localization team?
couldn't agree more. :thumbsup:

I don't if this is the right place to complain about the new Chinese font. It's awful and not suitable for Stardew Valley. Players from different Chinese forums agreed that the previous font is better.
Hi, I've also seen many people comment that they like the new font. There tend to be more comments of dislike because people who like the new font are less likely to express their opinions explicitly, so that's not a good reason to support your opinion. Most likely you're just not used to the new font. If you really hate it, please describe of which part you dislike the font instead.

The new font is chosen because it's more round and cute, and fits the style of Stardew Valley better. The previous font is pretty blocky and unstylized, and rendered in a low resolution which leads to warped strokes.


I personally apologize for the incorrect message here.

Since the previous font works quite well in years, please don't change it just because of your own preferences. Even if you want to change it, a pixel style font should be far better, just like the font that English version use, not a round and cute one.
I will show you comments from Chinese player:
The new font is a bit of a discordant and uncomfortable.
Give me back my old font!
Huh, Did the font change in this update? Fortunately, I closed my save file ahead of it.
Don't you understand the pixel sense of the old font? The new font is strange and so big.
Agreed, the new font feels tasteless.
The new font is so ugly... I played all night and didn't quit, so I didn't update.
How can I continue to play the old version, I also think the new font is ugly.
The new font doesn't match the pixel style.
After entering the game, look at the date in the upper left corner (or come out after reading the taskbar), and you will feel that the game screen is very blurry, because the pixels of those font are too high, and the game screen that highlights the pixel style is extremely blurry. Of course, it could just be that I'm not used to it yet.
I don't really like it either.
It's too ugly,,,, waiting for a font replacement.
It feels like a font for an inferior mobile game, and it's particularly inconsistent with the pixel picture... How to feedback this problem to the author and the translation team? I feel that the person who chooses this font has a poor aesthetic and does not understand the game.
It's really ugly and a little unbearable. Is there a way to turn back to the original font, or can we only wait for the mod?
Yes, there are several comments that approved the font change, but they are quite few.
