Okay, yes, of course I am able to reproduce this.

I presume all the strings are stored somewhere in such a way that translation will be easy (so monster names, when used as nouns, can have a case assigned for languages that have cases and so forth)? When you have nothing better to do, post the raw strings and some native (language) speaker will go over it and proofread them (I can manage English, FWIW). Trying to fix errors like this (Wolfish Corpse should be Wolf Corpse, and so on and so forth) piecemeal is asking for trouble.

I'd bet this is a revision of the gramatical issue of 'touches at you'. But you're right, it should be something like "reaches out to you"

Nope.

From this issue:

I'm right now even while "only" supporting english fighting with some places (especially combat) where it is not really simple to provide meaningful messages due to the highly variable nature of the game and as some comments indicate it would be very hard if not impossible to support anything but a subset of languages. So I really do not intend to spend time on that, sorry. You will need to learn English to be able to play JADE in a meaningful language.
