Bugs & Inaccuracy

 * Currently there is a bug with the Arabic and Hebrew translations that makes all the letters appear in the reverse order, probably due to these languages being right-to-left languages.
 * It says "Англійська (Україна)", but it has to be "Українська (Україна)", because the first one means "English (Ukraine)". Same applies to Basque, Greek, Icelandic and Romanian.
 * Klingon is in a similar situation, but since it's a language from off-world, it uses "tera'" which means "Terran," i.e. Earthling.
 * Bulgarian is doubled, and both are wrong — as български (means Bulgarian, but written from the small letter instead of the capital one) and as Английски (written from the capital letter, but means English).

Trivia

 * Minecraft is available in Klingon (Klingon language from Star Trek) and will soon be available in Quenya (Elvish language from Lord of the Rings).
