@hamsolo474 Are you aware that "comfit" is a word? https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/comfit

If you want to use a less archaic word, "candy" would be a better fit for the Mandarin and Japanese translations.

Wow, I had no idea. It just looked like a phonetically similar mispelling to me. Thanks for teaching me a new word. I have fixed the sentence.
