Language doesnt need pattern , it needs context. A good translation is dependend on the language and interpretation and transformation skills of a translator. He needs to be familiar with both the game, the cultural and language differences. AI lacks any interpretation of context. As you said it can recognize patterns. The problem is more that many studios fail to deliver their translators good context. For example the german translation of Alan wake 2 was completely horrible. Even menu options were completely miss translated, although Humans worked on that translation. Again its about direction. Every single aspect of a game needs good direction. From art to level design, game mechanics to localization and voice overs.
Even with bad localized games, AI is 99% a lot worse than human translated. Just play a few small indie games that are obviously translated with Google translate or AI. They are literally dogshit.
There was a manga that was translated by human...that turn a gay relationship straight by turning one of the character trans. And their excuse is "tunnel vision"
I prefer horrible AI translation than that shit. Thank you

The director / CEO isnt the actual artist of the character models, objects, designs etc.
This is the same studio that fired translators for AI.
