	Can we make the language randomization a little better? I've gotten two copies of the same language several times. Not a high priority, though. --[[User:Khajidha\|Khajidha]] ([[User talk:Khajidha\|talk]]) 15:38, 11 April 2022 (EDT)		Can we make the language randomization a little better?

			:I fixed that with the update of the text. The problem was that every language was a potential option for both the first ''and'' the second selection. With the new translations, I tried to evenly distribute them (though I'm currently still missing three). Selection 1 is any additional language that has ever been featured on packaging available at retail in the United States: French, Spanish (both first with ''Robots in Disguise'' in 2001), Portuguese (since late 2014), German (since late 2019), Chinese (2011 ''Generations'' "GDO" Toys"R"Us exclusives; currently still missing), and Japanese (''Beast Machines'' Target exclusive Magmatron; currently still missing). Selection 2 are all the languages that have only ever been featured on European packaging: Italian, Dutch, Swedish, Danish (currently still missing), Greek, Polish, Turkish, and Russian.--[[User:Nevermore\|Nevermore]] ([[User talk:Nevermore\|talk]]) 09:02, 2 July 2022 (EDT)

	I'm bringing this up here instead of just fixing it because it seems to be so obviously wrong that I feel like I must be misunderstanding it. The page currently says that individual toys' names were no longer translated into French for BW, but that's patently absurd - we even list the characters' French-Canadian names on their pages! What am I missing here? -[[User:LV\|LV]] 10:02, 13 August 2012 (EDT)		I'm bringing this up here instead of just fixing it because it seems to be so obviously wrong that I feel like I must be misunderstanding it.

	:On the Cyberverse Commanders (don't know about the others), the front of the packaging has "FACILE" twice. Presumably because its the same word in two different languages but why bother printing that same word twice? It just seems pointless.		:On the Cyberverse Commanders (don't know about the others), the front of the packaging has "FACILE" twice.
