Ouch. Portal is one of my favorites, but partly because I really loved GLaDOS. (Genetic Lifeform and Disk Operating System)

Without her constant prodding at you, I think the game would lose both charm and player motivation. I'd imagine the pacing takes a hit as a result.

Here's one of my favorite examples of a bad translation to English: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFg6QOlV-EE

It's an NES game, but before I spoil it for you, try to figure out which one by letting the music play out.

I quote that Congalturation screen when my wife completes a game (great or otherwise.) In return, she got me a book of bad translations/localizations for our anniversary.
