Translation errors

Location	Name	Correct translation	Description
Enemy	Tengohg	Tengoug	All other members of the monster family (Zoalgoug, Onmagoug...) use "goug".
Enemy	Alterazgohg	Alterazgoug	All other members of the monster family (Zoalgoug, Onmagoug...) use "goug".
Enemy	Go Bajilla	Go Badira	Meant to match the enemy "Badira", as evidenced by the JP version.
Enemy	De Rol Le	De Rolei	Ironically matching the English PSO name. The JP PSU name had a deliberately minor alteration from the JP PSO name (also see: Dragon & De Ragan).
Weapon	Ank Bico	Ank Pico	A reference to the "Pico Hammer" weapon used by the "Sonic" series character Amy Rose.
Weapon	Assasin	Assassin	Misspelling - is meant to be "Assassin", as shown on the board and mirrored with the Kubara version, Assassic.
Weapon	Halp Serafi	Harp Serafi	Probably meant to be Harp Serafi, however the Japanese uses harupu as opposed to the more logical haapu.
Weapon	Neddle Cannoc	Needle Cannoc	Misspelling - is meant to be "Needle Cannoc", as shown on the non-Kubara board and weapon, Needle Cannon.
Weapon	Rod	Rodoh/Rodou	Is actually meant to be Rodoh or Rodou. The GRM equivalent in Ambition of the Illuminus is called Rod.
Weapon	Stag Cutralli	Stag Cutlery	Typographical error of a weapon from PSO.
Weapon	Vullseye	Bullseye	A mistake in the original Japanese.
Unit	Hard / Night	Hard / Knight	Part of the "Knight" unit series, mistranslated to Night.
Set bonus	Rayharod & Reiha-senba	Rayharaod & Rayha-senba/Reiharod & Reiha-senba	Translated separately and differently. Originally the aligned names provide a clue to the set bonus.
Set bonus	Nafli-zashi & Nafri-senba	Nafli-zashi & Nafli-senba/Nafri-zasha & Nafri-senba	Translated separately and differently. Originally the aligned names provide a clue to the set bonus.
Decoration	BT Lovers	VT Lovers	The "BT" is supposed to stand for "Valentine", and thus should probably have been VT. Also, conjecturally, rendering it "VD" (for "Valentine's Day") would probably have been problematic—"VD" also stands for "venereal disease," an older term for sexually transmitted diseases.
Decoration	Jao	Chao/Jaggo	The name of the enemy it relates to is "Jaggo", which itself is a (probably intentional) variation of the Chao they have similarities to.
Decoration	Relaxing Jao	Relaxing Chao/Relaxing Jaggo	The name of the enemy it relates to is "Jaggo", which itself is a (probably intentional) variation of the Chao they have similarities to.
Item	Agtaride	Shiftaride	Emulates the TECHNIC "Shifta", whose JP name is "Agtal", which matches in the same way Retier, Zodial and Megistar match their item names. Alternately Shifta could be corrected to Agtal.
Item	Defbaride	Debandide/Debanide/Debaride	Emulates the TECHNIC "Deband", whose JP name is "Defbal", which matches in the same way Retier, Zodial and Megistar match their item names. Alternately Deband could be corrected to Defbal.
