Translation error?

[iTIMMEH]

One of the problems I had with the game was the in places rather hammy dialogue, which I partly attribute to translation.

A chisel is most certainly not a chipper. If you go into a DIY or hardware store and ask for a chipper, you will not be directed towards chisels without first explaining what you want to do. At which point the store assistant will say "Ah, you mean a chisel?"

I'd be interested to know if the translation was carried out or checked over by someone whose first language is English?
