A simple matter of find and replace. Takes a couple of seconds.
Best of luck in your search for the undead.

I've been playing the game with some kids the last couple of days and I've noticed some weird sentences on the spell cards, so I decided to take a look at what the UK edition cards say and lo and behold the translation into Swedish is rubbish. For example on the Fire spell "Genie" it says he can "open any door on the board (the contents should be put out)". This has in Swedish been translated into "(the contents should be removed)". Whoever translated the game into Swedish needs a high five. In the face. With a chair. And I will go through the whole game and check every translation with the UK original, and give you the corrections for posting on your site.
When I have the time.

There's been plenty of similar translation mistakes in other languages too. They did a sloppy job rushing them to retail to cash in while the game was hot. There are even map mistakes in some language. One of the French Witch Lord quests is unplayable because of a missing door on the map preventing the Heroes from proceeding.
If you make corrections, I'll surely put them on the homepage below the original scans.
