the per-game core settings translated
into every language the app speaks, and two texts that were confidently telling
people the wrong thing.

Language

• The per-game core settings are readable in all fourteen languages. The
  explanations under LLVM precompilation, SPU block size, resolution scale and the
  decoder mix existed only in English and Spanish, which meant that everyone else
  was choosing between values whose consequences were not written down anywhere
  they could read. Those, the two memory warnings, the settings notebook and the
  "this device cannot emulate" notice are now translated: 240 strings across the
  twelve remaining languages. What is still identical to English after this pass
  is the set of words that are the same word in that language — Mono, Auto,
  Normal, Panel, Version in German, Options in French — and changing those
  would only make them worse.

Text

• The memory warning no longer promises that 8 GB of RAM is enough. It ended
  by saying that devices with 8 GB or more need none of this, which is false and
  was reported by someone holding a phone with 12 GB who had just been blocked by
  it. The extended virtual addressing entitlement governs address space, not
  physical memory; extra RAM does not widen it. The notice now says the outcome
  depends on how the app was installed, which is the part the reader can act on.
• The credits show the version you are actually running. The version was a
  translatable string copied by hand into all fourteen language blocks, and it had
  been left at beta.0.1 while beta.0.2 was being handed out — three releases
