Some of the card name variations may be due to the cards having been issued in the OCG but not available in the TCG at the time the game was first issued. I think some of the card name translations may not have been been settled on at the time. However, a few, like Sage's Stone / Sage's Jewel are just plain mistakes as the game text reads one thing but the card clearly reads another. There are also a few places where the translation of conversation uses broken English, some where it is just slightly off, others where the sentence is basically unintelligible.

Do mistranslations count as "glitches"? --May 14 2009.

They're errors, but I wouldn't say they're 'glitches', no. JordanTH (talkcontribs) 03:02, March 25, 2013 (UTC)
I'd agree with that, but then should this article be divided up into two separate articles, and if so, how? Some of the card effects which work differently than as in the actual game, or which are flipped with those of a different card, should probably still be listed as glitches -- or maybe as mistakes, since they aren't exactly glitches either. Perhaps the title of the article should be changed instead to be more all encompassing?
I'd think of a game glitch as something where the game itself does not work right, where somethings hangs up so to speak, or registers a command wrongly, basically a programming error. The mistranslations are just that, errors in translation, and as I said earlier possibly due to some undecided final forms of card text. The mixed up effects are more a data error than a programming error, and somewhat unique to Yugioh (and any similar) games and I'm not exactly sure what to call those, but they really don't qualify as either one of the other two. Perhaps simply call them "errata"? Starwefter (talkcontribs) 20:50, March 25, 2013 (UTC)
