Summary0005075: Critter men say their name is LANG_TRANS]
DescriptionWhen greeting an critter man (such as a giant cricket man) they respond as normal for all friendly conversations (can't remember the exact script), but instead of their name, it writes LANG_TRANS] (I can't remember exactly how the words LANGUAGE and TRANSLATION were abbreviated, but somewhere along those lines). It looks like it could be caused by a broken tag.

I don't know if this is true for all critter men, or just the newly added sponsorship ones, which are the only ones I've encountered so far.
Steps To ReproduceGreet a [name of critter] man in adventure mode through the k button.
TagsNo tags attached.

I've managed to replicate the bug in the latest version with a magpie man, but I lack the ability to upload anything at the moment.

Also, I remembered incorrectly: they say their name is TRANS_NAME], not LANG_TRANS].

I've already talked to one of the magpie men to the south, but the other one should display the same behaviour. There should also be some other critter men (I can't remember which critter) to the south east.

I have experienced this problem too, but it was with a modded race. In both cases, the entity raws lack a TRANSLATION token. Adding [TRANSLATION:DWARF] to my race fixed the problem.

I think I recall the wiki at some point saying that if an entity did not have an assigned translation, then the game would choose one at random. Is this only for older versions?
