You are a reductive ape, and you deserve to be viciously mocked and verbally abused by your peers if this is the manner in which you think you will slowly erode out a rationally and logically justified hatred for even the smallest intentional bastardization of what the source material says. There are options with how you translate and make the context sensible for a foreign audience, but this was not one of those allowed options and thus all it equates to is somebody erasing part of the source material in order to insert a grotesque bastardization of the culture and character involved, let alone the context of, the panel mentioned above.

Shame on you, and may god have mercy on your soul.

you are welcome to stay but you need to lurk moar
you deciding to jump in, add nothing of value, and get shit on is not an echochamber

if lurked for a bit you would know we have extensively covered the most egregious examples of vandalism and i was just adding a another small one onto the pile
we are also extremely anal about even the smallest malicious acts. the big stuff is well known and widely criticized, the small stuff builds up and gradually degrades the quality standards of future works
if it becomes an acceptable practice to have 'sus' be a valid translation regardless of it being a 100 year old man or a teenager, more liberties will be tolerated

I probably lurk too much as it is, I guess what he said bugged the fuck out of me enough to make me say something. I'm still trying to figure out something about my novel, for fucks sake.

edit; "get help"-- Gate=Kept??? What a faggot. I can't believe I broke my new fleshlight after only ONE use :'/

Goodbye snowflake, seems you're the one living in an Echo chamber, seeing as you are offended and now running away like a coward when somebody calls you out on your low I.Q comment.

Claims to be bullied while mocking another user for pointing out a factual distortion of a translation by replacing it with a game reference that has no place being there in the first place.

why is the translation-sphere so infested with flag-touting retards anyway? why are they doing their reps, and why aren't we?

here is another shitty sus line that some cheeky vandal though he could sneak into konbu wakame's second volume of 最近雇ったメイドが怪しい (the newly hired maid is mysterious)

View attachment 9397

and here is a picture from my own copy
View attachment 9398

now before all the tards come in with their "you know the japanese use slang right" im going to stop you there
the character in this book is a wealthy high class young boy who does not use slang. Thanks for harming the characterization by choosing to put in the funny sus line

here is the word in jisho
what do you think would be a better translation?
View attachment 9399
how about: "How ominous!!!"

if anyone has the book, post the localizer name, we have to start naming, shaming, and bullying these vandals
Honestly quite a number of those would work better than "sus" like dubious or eerie, definitely seems to fit the character's personality better.

Choosing "sus" out of all of them is pretty clear cut evidence of them sacrificing accuracy and ignoring context for the sake of a shitty dead meme.

this is an interesting read. seems the budder chick regrets what she did but still has the arrogance. so yea interesting read

https://www.sankakucomplex.com/2022...lizer-katrina-leonoudakis-talks-localization/ (A)
She doesnt regret doing it; she regrets getting caught, called out, and shamed. Very important to emphasize the difference. If we are successful in demanding higher localization standards, you will see this more often. rub their noses in it and never let them live it down. Putting this on your resume would have you blacklisted in the mainstream translation industry

might be a bit off-topic but man I've seen all these points so many fucken times from people I sware to god

that guy's account screams "larp"

he claims to be against censorship, yet doesn't fight against it and even admits to implementing things he was "instructed" to do with his translations that are objective censorship.
and if the pinned tweet hinting at them working on FGO NA is true, then they are officially on my shit list because some of the worst people in the industry work on that game.

Steiner is retarded but that site is run by the same faggot localizers we shit on in this thread. the end of that review claims that a good way to translate the game would be to instead rewrite everything from the ground up with lore catering to a western audience which is completely fucking idiotic and shitty.
I'd take steiner's shit work over that bullshit and I'm speaking as someone who actually played Raging loop.
I read some of their other blog posts and they seem to have a boner for rewrites. going as far as to give FE3H a good rating despite it being censored and containing some questionable translation choices.
