Script Error & Missing Scenario Goals when starting in non-English languages (Mall Magnate)

[takashin7]

Hi,

I would like to report a script error that occurs when starting a scenario in a language other than English (specifically tested with Japanese).

Issue Description
When starting the scenario while the game is set to a non-English language, a script error occurs. As a result, the objectives related to Shopping Mall and Real Estate disappear from the goal window.

Error Message
Script file: SCENARIO_DLC\Service\Mall_Magnate.txt
Error: the following lines cannot be recognized by the script system.
line 59: Shopping Mall
line 87: Real Estate

Observed Behavior
Missing Goals: If I start the scenario directly in Japanese, the Shopping Mall and Real Estate goals are completely missing from the goal list.

Completion Issue: If I start the scenario in English first and then switch/restart in another language, the scenario runs, but the goals can only be achieved/completed while playing in English.

Thank you!

Hi again,

Regarding the localization issue mentioned above, the goal missing issue has been resolved for other languages, but a new issue remains specifically when set to Japanese.

Issue Description
In the Japanese localization, sector names related to Real Estate and Shopping Malls are displayed incorrectly as "1s Sector" (1sセクター).

Root Cause Identified
I checked the Japanese translation file and found the exact entry causing this display bug:

Current entry in Japanese file:

[3318]<MDSE>1sセクターの市場支配力|

Issue:

In line [3318], the % symbol before 1s is missing. Because the placeholder %1s is broken into 1s, the system renders the plain text "1s" instead of inserting the dynamic sector name variable.

Suggested Fix
Changing line [3318] from:

[3318]<MDSE>1sセクターの市場支配力|

to:

[3318]<MDSE>%1sセクターの市場支配力|

This will restore the proper %1s placeholder and fix the sector name display.

Could you please update this line in the official Japanese translation file for the next patch?

Thank you!
