In the localized version, a character's voice line is in English while the rest of the game is in Spanish. This defect is due to:

Missing or misplaced localized audio asset

A game's Korean version has a text that uses the '한' character. On a specific PC with a Korean locale, the character displays correctly. On a PC with an English locale, the character appears as a box. The game uses a custom font. What is the most likely cause?

The game's UI is not designed for Korean text.

The Korean text is stored in a non-UTF-8 encoding.

The PC with the English locale does not have the Korean language pack installed.

The custom font does not include Korean glyphs, and the English locale system does not have a Korean font fallback.

A game is being released in Germany. The German localization includes a loot box system that awards random items. The legal team warns that this may violate German gambling laws. What is the most appropriate action for the localization team?

Remove the loot box system from the German version immediately.

Flag the issue to the production team and recommend a compliance review before release.

Translate the loot box terms to be less explicit to avoid legal scrutiny.

Ignore the warning because the game is already rated by the US ESRB.

A game's German localization has a dialogue box that displays a character's name. The name is 'Müller'. On a low-end Android device, the 'ü' character appears as a question mark. The same build on a high-end device displays correctly. The game uses a custom font. What is the most likely cause?

The game's localization for German is incomplete on low-end devices.

The custom font is missing the 'ü' glyph, and the low-end device does not have a fallback font that includes it.

The low-end device has a smaller screen, causing the text to be cut off.

The German text is stored in a non-UTF-8 encoding.
