This problem is even worse in other languages, specifically the German translation, which has a lot of errors. In German the possibility to "[Sim] überprüfen" suddenly appeared which means "check [Sim]" or "verify [Sim]" and doesn't make any sense whatsoever instead of check in on. It sounds more like a negative interaction, even though it's supposed to be a positive one, so I avoided it. "Ask about day" was correctly translated to German as "Nach Tag fragen", so I would like it to be changed back to "Ask about day" instead of the new version and the bad translations. Clearly it's not a quality-improving decision to hire the EA Localization QA for the German language in Spain. We're a market of decent size with decent translators and we deserve a decent translation!

What happens when the bug occurs? It says to "[Sim] überprüfen" as an Interaction under the Friendly/Small Talk menu.
What do you expect to see? I expect the Interaction to say "Nach Tag fragen" like it did before. "Überprüfen" means to verify or check. It sounds rather like doing an oral test and spying on the Sim and ratting him or her out to the Gestapo (Secret Sim police), SS or Stasi (Sim security) while pretending to be friendly, instead of a friendly interaction.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes.
Please describe the patch or change you made. Update 1.96.365.1030
It appears that the recent changes to the social menus changed the name of the interaction from "Nach Tag fragen" to "[Sim] überprüfen" in the Smalltalk menu. Therefore, it should be changed back to "Nach Tag fragen".
