Enemy Names Translated

Description
Translates enemy names (and some other names) from Finnish to English.
Resources used: Google Translate, Wiktionary, bab.la, and the Noita Wiki.

Updated for the Epilogue Update!

DISCLAIMER: I don't claim to know Finnish or that my translations are necessarily correct or accurate.
Feel free to correct me if you believe you have a better translation.
If you wish to see more details on why I picked a particular translation feel free to check out the translation file - I left several notes.

These are not necessarily literal translations!
In some places adjustments have been made in order to fit better with existing patterns/the gameplay or were extrapolated from alternative meanings.
For example, Miinankylväjä (Minelayer) gets Hiisi appended, so it matches other Hiisi enemies.

You may also come across a couple things that are not translated - unless added in new versions, this is likely intentional.
For example, Ukko (Thunder mage) cannot be translated, as it is the name of the Finnish god of the heavens.
However, Ukkoskivi (Thunderstone) can, as 'ukkos' refers to thunder.

I don't think this disable achievements because you don't activate it like a normal mod

I just don't understand why it isn't already like this.

The only mod I will ever use

So does this effect achievements?

Thx for the context, and it works for me.

Kakka: I feel like translating this would defeat the joke implied by the description. I'm certainly aware of what it translates to, but sometimes it's just funnier that way, yknow?

'nuljaska': It does not translate to slime. In fact, Wiktionary claims it refers to a specific family of gilled mushrooms. As many of Noita's enemy names are portmanteaus of Finnish words, Google Translate can incorrectly translate things on its own - 'Limanuljaska' is actually two words, 'lima' (meaning mucus or slime) and 'nuljaska' (which Google Translate incorrectly presumes is derived from 'nolla', meaning 'zero' or 'null').

It should be noted that the goal of this mod isn't to make the game feel like all of the names were written for English in the first place. For example, I'm using the literal translation of 'Suomuhauki' (scaled pike) rather than the generally-accepted 'Dragon' in order to show Nolla's wordplay.

True that Google translate doesn't work for 'Limanuljaska',
but it does translate 'Limaanuljaska' to 'Mucus', thus similar to 'slime'.

Regarding 'Kakkakikkare': The prefix 'Kakkak' translates to 'poop'. The Wiki has chosen 'Poo Turd' :) And the item description is in line with both of these ( This mysterious spiral-shaped artefact smells horrible and feels warm to the touch )
