Bugs & Inaccuracy

 * Arabic is written like: "ا ل ل غ ة ا ل ع ر ب ي ة" but without spaces, not like "اللغة العربية".
 * In some languages, the text is too long and overfills the button it is written on.
 * Splash texts are not translated and therefore will show up in English.
 * In Canadian English, the "Benchmarking" achievement description is bugged. Also, Gray and Light Gray Wool spell the word "Grey", but the dye spells it "Gray".
 * Power and punch enchantments on bows have the name of the similar sword enchantment when using Canadian English
 * Many Turkish translations contain obscenities, which were contributed by trolls.
 * There are some critical mistakes in some of the Translations, like Hebrew.
 * The UK English and Canadian English use the other languages code.
 * I.E: Name = Canadian English, Language code = en_GB and vice versa.


 * In Pirate, the "Industrious now, aren't we?" achivement has a w on the end.
 * Hebrew is titled as "אנגלית" (English). It should be "עברית" (Hebrew).

Trivia

 * Minecraft is available in three fictive languages : Klingon (Klingon language from Star Trek), Pirate (Internet language) and Quenya (Elvish language from Lord of the Rings).
 * In Pirate speak, Gold Boots are called "Buttershoes", a reference to Seananners, a well known YouTube personality that ran a Minecraft series.
