Sooooo, apparently Minecraft has been translated into around 56 languages. The devs couldn't really do it themselves, so they relied on the community for a lot of translations.

Well in Minecraft's newest version which contains a translation for Afrikaans, the language spoken by Namibians and South Africans, players were greeted with an especially NOT COOL main menu upon switching languages.

I'm putting this in spoilers to avoid any problems.

So yeah, some community member who did the translation thought this was funny. Jens was NOT amused.

Community translations are often a necessity, but certainly need enough contributors or testers to weed out problems like that.

Exactly. The sad truth is that when you to the public for help, you can get the occasional asshole.
