Solved: 8 Years, 1 Month ago Grammar errors

So I noticed a few POSSIBLE errors in the game, maybe they are not but here's what I found:

In the study there's some kind of artifact like in Penumbra that says:
"From where I came, mankind is not even wasted a breath, yet I bow to you."

I may be french but that doesn't sound right to me.

"From where I came, mankind has not even wasted a breath, yet I bow to you."
"From where I came, mankind is not even a wasted breath, yet I bow to you."

These two sentences would make more sense I believe, now you gotta pick the one which fits the context.

Another mistake occurs in the torture rooms, I will post later when I will find it again.

I think a few lines suffered in translation but it's so inconsequential to the enjoyment of the game that only a few gamers will even notice.
I saw a few written sentences and spoken words that were not 'correct', but hardly worth mentioning unless I were the proof reader responsible for checking it.

I've also noticed grammar errors and many spelling errors in the three Penumbra games. Is it possible to edit them to their correct spelling etc.? Are there "ini" files or something that could be used to modify them accordingly? I hope so. Thanks.

Thanks for your help, Xiphirx. Um. Where can I find these .lang files? (I have the Steam versions of Penumbra Overture, Black Plague, and Requiem. Thanks!
