Of course nobody should be expected games to translate exactly (esp.
depending on machine) but a close proximity or playability should be fine.
But this isn't our goal, our goal is to document the different basic
dialects and different command used in each basic (and perhaps translate one
command function in one dialect to another more appropriate command in
another dialect).
