Thank you for this, and I know what you mean by VG's translations not being entirely accurate. Some examples (from their translated games, and some songs) are:

1. In Bouken no Sho was Deleted, she would've translated "shogi" as "chess"... If they/WanOpo hadn't shown a shogi game/board

2. This could be something the original song artist did, but in Ten Faced. VG used MPD/Multiple Personality Disorder instead of DID/Dissociative Identity Disorder, which is the correct/updated term

3. In the game The Gray Garden, they first used female pronouns for a character called Etihw instead of gender neutral pronouns. Etihw has no gender. Sure, she later changed/"fixed" it, but sadly (due to the creator banning let's plays and live streams) the old translation is the only LP up on YouTube

4. In the game Wadanohara and the Great Blue Sea, there's a character called Syake-san. (or Syakesan, I'm not sure) VG named them "Sal". There's another character that's origianlly called Adauchi, but VG called them Vendetto

5. In the original freeware version of the games LiEat, the character Leo/Hal/Sid's real name was "Teobaldo Leonhearts". However, in the pay for Steam version, (which has updated translations) Leo/Hal/Sid's real name changed to "Theobald "Leonhart"

I would have added more VOCALOID song examples, but I haven't really watched any of her translated videos/songs
