False positives in profanity filter for non-english versions of Minecraft.
The infamous Scunthorpe problem strikes the Swedish version of Minecraft: PS4 Edition.
I will not name any examples directly as it would register this post as profanity but here's a quick explanation:
The Swedish translation of "The End" (and any similar features like endstone, etc) overlaps with an English curse-word. That triggers a false positive in the game's moderation which in turn censors out parts of loading screen messages that include those features. This is very jarring.
To reproduce the issue:
- Start the newest version of Minecraft on PS4.
- Create any type of world.
- While waiting for it to load, read the loading screen information and wait for the censored sentences to show up.
