This looks very interesting, but the Italian copy on the website is poorly translated. For instance, nobody would write an explanation of what you need to do speaking to the player in the courtesy third person (Perquisisca i luoghi, Smascheri la bugia). Other sentences are written poorly, for instance "Nel gioco, «Segnalare» sotto una battuta ce la invia direttamente.". I haven't played the game, but if the translations are not up to par, it might be worth to publish it in English only for now

Thank you so much for your feedback. To be honest, I am a solo founder and dont speak Italian natively. So I have to base on the translation by AI completely. Once I have more players and more financial backup, I'll have those texts verified by native speaker.

I think that passing the copy from your site to whatever recent model and asking if it sounds native would already catch a lot of issues

Just imagine that all the margins on your site are misaligned and text overflows the elements. Buttons still work, but it all looks ass.

That's the feeling bad translation gives.

The French one is not bad, except for some elemnts (namely the last sentence on the page which I did not understand). Funny coming from a French company, 10 km away from my place :)
