So disappointed! Error in the key and instructions in English

Very disappointed! Already pictured it on the wall of my new house. BUT when I looked at the next section I found an error in the key. What was marked with a color did not match the symbol. In other words, the number 36 (I think) was written in the purple section. The symbol of this number was the same color as the white cross. As such, I had no way of knowing which was correct - the character or the number printed. I asked? To Revain, and someone replied that they had experienced this several times. Her idea was to work through the entire pattern, leaving the sections you wanted, and then going back and trying to figure out what yarn colors are left. I'm just not that brave or committed. The pressure is huge - I expected it to take months! This is a very complex pattern with a different problem - for example, several very similar shades of green were used as different symbols. Because of this, it was very, very difficult to tell one square from another. Finally, the instructions aren't in English, so I wasn't even sure how many threads to use! I'm reluctant to give 2 stars because maybe an experienced sewer can figure it out and I'll try to use some of the thread in other projects. I'm not sure if all of this makes sense, but I hope you understand that this project, which could have been great, is full of errors and confusion!

This would be useful to someone who speaks that language, perhaps.
