@gruber.foo English fantasy gaming often has trouble with translations because it has so many synonyms. A very bad case is Japanese, which has only a handful of words to describe dead things come back to life, whereas English has dozens (wraith, specter, wight, phantom, zombie, etc.)

So you end up with problems where in English, this monster is called a phantasm and this other one is a ghast and this one is a shade, and then in Japanese (or whatever) they are all called the same thing and it’s confusing.
