I think 2 of the sizes where so that gettext didnβt realize they were a prefixed variant, so it messed those up. But for the others I saw that it was mostly able to pick the already made translations (though of course it marks them as needing changes).

Brazilian Portuguese 
- Should the term absorção replace engolimento as the translation of engulfing?
- Similarly, is autoevolução better then auto-evo? Someone added this word to the glossary.
I personally think itβs preferable to keep auto-evo abbreviated unless itβs absolutely necessary otherwise.
Whatβs the Auto-Evo Exploring Tool?

Something coming in the next release.
Hereβs the issue describing what I wanted it to be (it doesnβt yet have all of the things I specified):

We need an explanation of all of these:
Biodiversity attempt fill chance
Biodiversity from neighbour patch chance
Biodiversity nearby patch is free population

Yes. Ideally with some screenshots too.

They are all related to the auto-evo exploring tool. I added a screenshot to all of those, hereβs that screenshot on the forums as well:

Does βmove attempts per speciesβ refer to migration?
Also I struggle to even interpret what some of these options mean in English. What is βbiodiversity attempt fill chanceβ? Almost sounds like a string of unrelated words. I know it isnβt, but still.
That doesnβt help much tbh. Itβs still a buch of utter gibberish to me.

Thatβs the best I can do without having someone constantly read through the auto-evo source code and translate the various parts into exact English phrasing. They are internal auto-evo variables that the auto-evo exploring tool lets you tweak.
Yes.
Thereβs a part of auto-evo that tries to make sure there arenβt patches with too few species in them. That variable controls that behaviour. The other βbiodiversityβ options also relate to that feature.
Iβll just leave this stuff untranslated for now.

But an accurate english phrasing is exactly what we need (even just as a tooltip). As a player, having incomprehensible menu options doesnβt make for the best game experience.
Unless theyβre all going to become very clear once you actually play with the update for a bit and see what they do.
The tool is not really meant for players, itβs for us developers to use when developing the auto-evo. It will be included in the game as thatβs easier for everyone and some players might get some enjoyment out of it.

What does βambitiousβ mean in this context?
having or showing a strong desire and determination to succeed.
So it makes AI much more likely to pursue chunks, even if thereβs perceived competition for them. I think, I have not fully read the AI code so this is again one of those things were someone would need to read the code right now to say for certain.
I cannot tell what biodiversity is and what it does in the game.
βBiodiversity attempt fill chanceβ
-Biodiversity attempts to fill patches as a chance? Itβs the biodiversity attempting the chance of fill in patches?
-What is biodiversity in this context? Is it diversification rate of individual species? How does biodiversity attempt things? Shouldnβt it be called something like variation attempts of system?
-What is fill chance? Shouldnβt it be called cell filling chance in patches/niches?
βBiodiversity from neighbour patch chanceβ
-βBiodiversity chance in neighbour patchβ is better?
-Does it only include a smaller part of βBiodiversity attempt fill chanceβ?
βBiodiversity nearby patch is free populationβ
-βfree populationβ as in not affected by biodiversity settings in any way?
-How does this differ from βBiodiversity from neighbour patch chanceβ? Is this more like a togglable version?
βBiodiversity split is mutatedβ
-Biodiversity splits itself or biodiversity is cut in half by some factor?
-Half of cells is mutated and other half remains unaffected?
βLow biodiversity limitβ
-Lower limit of biodiversity?
-Why is there no upper limit option?
βNew biodiversity increasing species populationβ
-What is old and new biodiversity? What is their difference?
-Old one does not always increase species population?
βUse biodiversity force splitβ
-Biodiversity forces a split?
-What is a split and what gets split?
Those are internal names. You donβt have to translate them. I hope that in future these, letβs say, βoptionsβ will get names that actually can be translated.
I did end up making changes to the English text for the auto-evo exploring tool as just directly putting spaces in variable names did not result in very understandable options at all:
