I am assuming the に (ni) in 沖縄に来た got translated to "in" as the particle has many different uses depending on context

I've always wondered how they come up with the kazari-eigo they put on random stuff. Like, they're clearly not hiring native speakers, and the mistakes that get made don't seem like the sort of issues you'd see from machine translation, so I can only assume they get some intern who still remembers some of their high school English and make them translate something.
