Elder Scrolls Oblivion is famous for that in Germany.
"Star. Tr. d. Le.en.-W." or in English: "strong potion of healing"
Not to mention the Japs use Kanji, which is a single character space symbol but is 5 full words in English to get the same point across.
Which is gaslighting again since Japanese is notorious for needing more space than English.
Speedrunners use Japanese versions due to Japanese being faster with text (less characters per word). So your argument makes 0 sense
So let's take your comment:
and Google translate it to Japanese:
As you can see, the Japanese version is longer.
Japanese 8 characters
日本語 3 characters
Potentially more cart-space because Japanese has a larger character set, but not more screen-space because, unsurprisingly, when you have characters that are entire words, it takes fewer of them to convey a message.
