I discovered some translation mistakes with several items names. Hopefully these will be corrected.
Vile should be Vial.
Impacted Items:
バイルエリクサー Vile elixir
バイルエリクサー+1 Vile elixir +1
Briault should be Bliaut or Bliaud (both are correct).
Impacted Items:
ブレスドブリオー Blessed briault
ブレスドブリオー+1 Blessed briault +1
ヒーラーブリオー Healer's briault
ＨＬブリオー+1 Healer's briault +1
クレリクブリオー Cleric's briault
ＣＲブリオー-1 Cleric's briault -1
ＣＲブリオー+1 Cleric's briault +1
セオフニブリオー Theophany briault
ＴＥブリオー+1 Theophany briault +1
パエティブリオー Piety Briault
ＰＩブリオー+1 Piety Briault +1

Theophany briault
I noticed this 4-5 months ago when overhauling the BG Wiki- > Job Pages we had some naming conflicts and we use .dat file for our text. No one had noticed the ninja edit.
As for "Vile" I always had figured that was a typo and was suppose to be Vial and someone did Vile and it never got corrected.
Vile seems fine to me, Vial Elixir sounds weirder unless you put an of in between.
SE probably knows the AF and Relic are typo'd but decided not to fix those lines of armor because they had been out so long. Were as the emp you had nq emp saying bliaud but reforged using the typo? briault so they went in and made them uniform naming wise in the line.

Gende. Bilaut +1 is incorrect on AH site as well, but the image displays the correct word. There maybe be text / code in the game that is still incorrect.
It's more likely that rooks and scraggs where never notified of these changes. I'll make sure rooks knows.

It can be correct either as Vial Elixir or as Vial of Elixir.
Though with the word vial in front, it might could better as Vialed elixir (like bottled bleach or bleach put into a bottle).
Vile Elixir, I take to be a beneficial elixir that tastes bad.
It's basically NyQuil. So 'vile' is describing the taste.

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/vile
1
a : morally despicable or abhorrent <nothing is so vile as intellectual dishonesty>
b : physically repulsive : foul <a vile slum>
2
: of little worth or account : common; also : mean
3
: tending to degrade <vile employments>
4
: disgustingly or utterly bad : obnoxious, contemptible <vile weather> <had a vile temper>
Now you could be right Tidis, as vile could refer to how aweful the medicine tastes... but vial is often used in reference to potions and medicines and such. Hmmm... though there is nothing in the item descriptive text about how bad it tastes, as with other items.
Vial just seems... I dunno, unnecessary considering all potions including regular elixirs are in vials based upon their icons. It's unfortunate there's absolutely nothing useful in any of the descriptions, hehe.
Just for reference, the theory on the JP wiki is that classically elixir's would heal 100% of HP/MP so since these only healed 25/50% respectively they were lesser versions hence the vile. They then added elixirs later which... weren't that great but I guess having craftable full heal potions would have been a tad much, hehe.

I always thought they are called Vile because they taste so awful your character doesn't want to carry more than one at a time.

There isn't anything to be done on our side - these are localization bugs, SE's problem. We just mine the dats and take what they give us.
Are there cases where the game data and AH data don't match?

Off-topic, but Skjalf misses the days of accurate item inventory searches. When it was possible to search for rare HQ items that are in stock on AH. ; ;
