Localisation Shitty Localizers general

[Rama]

I love how there's a bunch of people going "This is what those anti-loc people want" Like no bitch, if there is slang you can translate it as slang. (TL Notes are always appreciated though)

THIS is when it pisses people off. When you just go way overboard and make people talk in a completely different manner than they did in the original.

These losers also love to project onto characters. A particular trend i've noticed many time is them making female characters sound bossy, bitchy or miserable.

Example:

MC: Have you done A yet?
Female (JP): Yes.
Female (US): No shit i had to. No thanks to you.

Not only can't female characters look good, they're not allowed to be normal decent human beings either.

Chaos;head NOAH official localization team refuses to translate a term because it would be "embarrassing for everyone" in a game where the main protagonist is literally a cringe-lord incel who uses 00's internet speak

reminder that there will be a fan translation patch that will fix this atrocity:

https://twitter.com/CommitteeOf0

pirate the game then apply the patch, DO NOT give these people your hard-earned money

Now I feel dumb for buying the game in a foolish attempt to support the series. There's even a bug that won't let you see the good ending, but no word of a patch to fix this error as of yet.

For what is worth the fan translation may fix some issues idk about that ending bug tho

sucks that he died and all but it doesnt improve his craftsmanship

Edit: the more i read about the guy the more thankful i am that he shuffled off the mortal coil
One less maggot on the pile
Do better in life and you will be remembered better by friends and enemies in death
Safe to assume he wanted us broke and dead, it is okay to feel the same

"Without a deadly hate for which threatens what we love, love is an empty word; A catchword for hippies, queers, and cowards"

And nothing of value was lost.
Yeah, yeah, don't desecrate the dead blah blah blah.
If someone was a dickhead in life, they don't suddenly become a good person because they died.
Do good things and people will remember you fondly, be an asshole and you'll be remembered that way, this faggot likes memes and vandalizing art, no sympathy.

Too bad it wasn't someone bigger like Katrina. I've never even heard of this guy.

good riddance.
that's one less asshole vandalizing Japanese media now.

The real tragedy is the amount of fools who praise his meme filled translation in the BA subreddit thread. They are literally saying it's better BECAUSE of the memes.

I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

on one hand, god i hope they die i can't believe people are like this
on the other had, they're redditors and their opinion is worth less than the rocks stuck in the crevices in my shoes

trying to decide whether it's worth being upset with that. Leaning on no

It's Reddit what do you expect?

Looks like he was also friends with the Carpe Fulgar faggots, who if you recall, censored the Fortune Summoners bath scene and called everyone who asked "why" pedos.

I expect nothing of them. The problem is that if those morons appear like the majority then more meme laden translation is what the rest shall receive. All comments bashing the guy's work seems to have been deleted.

Don't forget, we are where we are now because a loud minority on Twitter made enough noise that companies and even the US government bend the knee to them. You have companies' marketing department taking random twitter posts (social media engagement) as "proof' that wokeness is desirable. Who says they can't pull the same with reddit posts and meme translations?

I'm just saying don't underestimate the enemies just cause they're idiots. This guy was just one of many. The next time someone get called out for trying the same shit, they can just point to this case and says: "But people LOVE the memes!".

 

[Deleted member 1309]

"But people LOVE the memes!".

And everyone who don't are called stupid weebs or dismissed "because they don't understand how localization work". Unwinable situation for us.

It may be splitting hairs but I think they are fawning over his "work" because just died.

Like that basketball player that died some years ago and everyone forgot he had raped someone

or you are called someone without a sense of humor

Reminder of that time XSeed outsourced some translation work for Trails in the Sky SC to Carpe Fulgar for god knows why and they did such a shitty job, it ended up causing more work for XSeed and delayed the game even more.

Are there any goons in XSEED? They like to give jobs to each other so that would explain why.
