Translation issues
Hello, I'm Korean DBD player. Just take a look below.
"Drop 10 Pallets while being chased by the Killer or break 10 Pallets."
But the translation says "Be chased by the killer or drop 10 pallets while breaking 10 pallets"
Survivors in Korea can break pallets!
"Hits with Possessed Chains ONLY spawn 1 additional Chain."
Translation says "Hits with Possessed Chains spawn 1 additional Chain."
OP.
"Reduces Cloaking time by -60%."
Translation : "Increases Cloaking time by 60%."
Don't use this add-on in Korea.
"Hit Survivors at least 15 metres away with Blades as The Trickster. Do this 5 times."
Translation : "Hit Survivors at least 15 metres away with Huntress's Hatchet(What?) as The Trickster. Do this 5 times.
The Trickster can throw hatchet in Korea.
"Electrify at least 2 Survivors with a Static Blast ability as The Doctor. Do this 3 times."
We use "전화하다" when we say "call someone by phone". Better use "감전시키다(electrocute)"
The Doctor calls you in Korea!
"Traversing the Upside Down destroys the Portal entered by The Demogorgon. Grants 200 bonus Bloodpoints for traversing the Upside Down."
Translation : "The Portal entered by you has been destroyed while traversing the Upside Down. Get 200 bonus Bloodpoints for traversing the Upside Down."
Sudden Quest! Get 200 bonus bloodpoints for traversing the Upside Down!
I have more than this, but I couldn't upload them all because there were too many.
Even in Sadako Rising chapter, you translated '8 seconds' to '8 meters' in add-ons for Onryo.

HAHA! No wonder Korean players are so good with such op perks :P
But yeah, it would be nice to see better translation, unfortunate most games can't hire 50 people just for translation.
I want to fix all of these if I can.
Some have been neglected for years.
Bumping for visibility. I wonder if any other languages have this issue too, very weird. I'm guessing Google Translate was BHVR's choice of "sworn translator".
"When the Killer performs a break action, the Killer's Aura is revealed to you for 3 seconds."
-> "When the Killer performs a relax action, the Killer's Aura is revealed to you for 3 seconds."
Maybe you just put the script to google translator. It translates 'break(부수다)' to '휴식하다(take a break)'.
"Tremendously increases the chance to be sent to Midwich Elementary School when burnt"
-> "When you burn yourself, (this offering) tremendously increases the chance to be sent to Midwich Elementary School."
okay...?
"Hitting a Survivor within 8 seconds after Manifesting turns on the last 4 TVs turned off by Projection."
-> "Hitting a Survivor within 8 metres after Manifesting turns on the last 4 TVs turned off by Projection."
How could '8 seconds' be '8 metres'?
"Mikhail's Eye" -> "Makhail's Eye"
미하일 ≠ 마하일
From the amount of stuff you've listed, it's quite frustrating from a big company like BHVR not pay for an official translator, and it's not like the amount of text lines in the game are big enough.
Ps: thinking here what kind of relaxing action that would be to have the aura revealed. ͡( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I wonder if Devs noticed these issues.. Some other koreans already have reported them, but most have not been fixed since quite long ago.
