Featuring such mind-bogglingly difficult words like "advise", "consult", "depict", "desire" and "locate". Someone evidently neglected to read their Orwell when they were assigned it as required reading in school. And they do document review, to boot, evidently on a mission to suck all the color out of the English language. How do they think people learn words other than by encountering them in the wild? Nobody reads a dictionary for fun. That's exactly how I learned words as a child. It's natural, and it's ok. More broadly, I don't understand this modern trend of trying not to expose people to things they don't understand or leaving things unclear at times. Isn't that one of the small yet magical things in life? Coming across something unfamiliar? Whether mundane; a word you don't know, or maybe a subtle play on words that the reader only picks up on in a subsequent reading, a small reference that someone only gets later when consuming other media, or something more specialized, like a scene in a movie making reference to events the viewer hasn't seen. Getting answers through effort, piecing a mystery together yourself or filling narrative gaps with your imagination is, in my opinion, part of the core experience of consuming media and living. I see translators struggle with these ideas, and there is a tension between camps on whether things like puns and references to local cultural understandings should be replaced with equivalent ones in the target language or translated verbatim at the risk of confusing the viewer/reader. Personally, I lean to the latter.
