Roll20's Chinese Translation is Atrocious.

As title. Here are some screenshots I just took 20 minutes ago This level of inconsistent mistakes, lead me to believe the entire thing is machine translated with no human involved. And it's a fairly bad translator at that.  With the changes coming to Roll20, perhaps it's time to actually hire a translator.

It might have something to do with this, or you might glean some info from this thread that's about Character Sheet translations (not necessarily applicable to translations in the GUI, granted):&nbsp; <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/11787424/join-the-revived-translation-quest-with-crowdin" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/11787424/join-the-revived-translation-quest-with-crowdin</a>

So this probably isn't the cause. (I mean, General Motors' car in a burrito. Not normally something a human comes up with.) But I'll look into this, see if me and my chinese players can contribute a little. Thanks!
