[Luke]

Let’s get the ugly out of the way first.
In the field of translation technically correct is never correct.--a person on the internet claiming to be a professional translator

I will include suggestion with explanation. Suggestions may come in two types (1) “Suggestion”: normal everyday translation suggestion that’s not a gaming lingo. (2) “Suggestion (better game term)”: a translation that is at least somewhat gamer-ish.

1. Options menu
1.1. account
1.1.1. Link your Skullgirls progress to your social accounts to back up your data and enable the ability to play on multiple devices.
Suggestion
将你的《骷髅女孩》进度关联到社交账户上，可备份你的数据，=>关联社交账户同步游戏进度。
并支持在多台设备上游戏=>关联社交账户的骷髅女孩账号可多设备切换游戏。
Explanation
Changed to fit Chinese expression

Explanation
Changed to fit Chinese expression
1.1.3. Email is verified!
Suggestion
电子邮箱已经验证！=>电子邮箱已通过验证!
Explanation
Changed to fit Chinese expression
1.2. Gameplay
1.2.1. Language text selection screen “OK” button
Suggestion
好的=>确认
Explanation
好的in Chinese means “fine, whatever” 99% of the time. Let’s not use 好的.
1.2.2. Music
Suggestion
音乐=>游戏音乐
Explanation
To match number of characters with “sound fx”. *matching is important in Chinese.
1.2.3. Sound fx
Suggestion
音乐音效=>游戏音效
Explanation
Changed to fit Chinese expression
1.2.4. Adjust settings below to improve performance

Suggestion (better game term)
购买信息=>购买历史

1.3.2. Relic odds
Suggestion (better game term)
古物箱几率=>古物箱宝物几率
Explanation
Ambiguity. 古物箱几率 means “odds of relic itself”, not the odds of relic contents.

*since I happens to end on relic I will address the relic menu next and include suggestions of the relic odd in section 2.

edit: format
