Improving the localization

This is probably a pie-in-the-sky request, but I figure I can't be the only one thinking it.
In spite of the wipe and the gnashing of teeth that ensued afterwards, I still find myself attached to this game and enjoying it. But one major issue that keeps me from referring it to my friends is the poor quality of the translation. Spelling and grammar errors are everywhere, most being small but annoying while some are pretty significant. Quest text often has errors that can mislead the players into hours-long goose chases. It shows a surprising lack of polish in a game that generally stands out among other F2P games.
This is an issue I raised back during the OGP days, but not surprisingly it fell on deaf ears. But rather than complain about an issue and not offer a solution, would there be a way for players to help contribute to improving the game text? I'd be happy to help put in some time documenting errors and offering corrections if possible. Or is this entirely out of the hands of P2 and entirely in Koei's hands? If nothing else, I wonder what other players think about this subject.
