I'm really glad that Return to Ash has finally got an official Chinese translation! But there seem to be some bugs though—sometimes parts of the text go missing, and some even turn into random symbols or letters. I hope these issues can be fixed soon. Thanks!

I want to translate this game into Chinese.Totally free.Is it okay?
