Translation Issues
The English version of Shining Force CD is generally a more accurate translation than its at times confusing predecessors, Shining Force I and Shining Force II. However, there are a few errors. The characters Hanzou and Musashi, who previously appeared in Shining Force I, are mistranslated in Shining Force CD as "Higins" and "Rush", respectively. Also, in Book 2 Mayfair inexplicably refers to Ruce as "Scavenger".

Famous quotes containing the words translation and/or issues:
“To translate, one must have a style of his own, for otherwise the translation will have no rhythm or nuance, which come from the process of artistically thinking through and molding the sentences; they cannot be reconstituted by piecemeal imitation. The problem of translation is to retreat to a simpler tenor of one’s own style and creatively adjust this to one’s author.”
—Paul Goodman (1911–1972)
“How to attain sufficient clarity of thought to meet the terrifying issues now facing us, before it is too late, is ... important. Of one thing I feel reasonably sure: we can’t stop to discuss whether the table has or hasn’t legs when the house is burning down over our heads. Nor do the classics per se seem to furnish the kind of education which fits people to cope with a fast-changing civilization.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
