There is no humor in direct translation.

The people trying to fan translate The Great Ace Attorney demonstrated this. I lost interest in the game when playing their translation because the dialogue was so limp and lifeless without some effort to create more English-familiar phrasing to convey the same tone as the Japanese script.

I don't. People in this thread will deny it, but the vast majority of video game localizations today are totally fine. For any big budget game from a known studio, the localization is done in-house. It's telling that the only examples people can give of actually bad localizations are garbage gacha slop games that no mentally well person would play in the first place.
Also, the loudest opponents of localizations are brown ESLs who learned English through watching anime subs

"Localization" is not the problem, -bad- localization is the problem.
Direct translation is bad because nuance and context can be lost quickly.
Identity-politics-poisoned localization is bad because nuance and context can be lost quickly.
A good localization preserves both the nuance and the context, and if it does it correctly, it can get away with dramatic changes to the script while equating, or even improving upon, the source material.

Fiction translation is bottom of the barrel translation job. Every competent translator works in business, public sector, law, academia or similar field where translations need to be accurate and require precision. People who translate fiction either were not competent enough for better translation jobs, or they got passion for specifically translating fiction, and the latter group has a lot of failed writers and activist types who want to insert their own text into fiction.
This is not a new phenomenon either, mind you. The original Swedish translation of Lord of the Rings for example included the translator altering the text at some places to "fix it". Tolkien personally condemned the translation as shit, and the translator got so mad about it that he later became a Tolkien hater who tried to incite Satanic panic about Tolkien's writings in Sweden.

I learned moonrunes and the localizers often fail to translate correctly, and sometimes they just give up and make shit up or cut out large portions of content they dislike.

Later I became a translation autist and got really involved with arguments on /lit/ about different translations of the Iliad and Odyssey, but got bored after a while (Lattimore is still the best btw).

In progress.
AI translations are already generally better than google translate and are improving every year.
I translate manga and games for myself all the time with AI and generally have few errors when comparing to translator translations. I can also use any language so doesn't matter if the stuff is Japanese, Spanish, Korean, Chinese, etc. I would say Chinese is the hardest i've seen to OCR though.
At this point even if all the translators and localizers disappeared tomorrow I could still play Jap games and read manga as long as I can get the raws.

I doubt translators have more than 5-10 years before becoming mostly pointless and that is being generous. General fear of AI among normies is the only thing still saving them, but once companies realize how much money they are saving they'll adjust the normie programming to support AI translation.

But silly name-calling aside, no you don't. Japanese is an extremely boring language when translated directly, especially when it's limited to its pop-culture common phrases.
>It can't be helped.
>It's you, so you can do it.
You know the phrases and whether you know Japanese or not, you know how frequently they show up in anime and game scripts. A good localizer can add a wealth of color to what would otherwise be flat, mechanical language - language that would NOT feel as mechanical to the Japanese because they're a more subtle culture than most Western ones.

Now, mind you, when having these discussions, we're almost exclusively speaking about Japanese to English. If you don't speak English as a native language, no one actually cares what you think on this matter. You're a secondary to the discussion.

Ok, if you were a localizer, and the character used lingo that outed itself as a user of anonymous forums known for just making fun of others and being hateful, wouldn't you use 4chan lingo?
The other choice is keep the 2ch lingo there.
Either way, using twitter lingo is not the way to do it. Because if a new character came along that used jap twitter lingo, you would have no way of differentiating them when they explicitly says that they use different sites.

Leftists flocked to gamedev and adjacent fields in order to conquer the industry and vandalize games with the SOLE aim of shitting up media that people they hate enjoy for the purpose of antagonizing them.
Localization was one of the big ones, because it let them attack and vandalize Japanese games that at the time they could not touch during development at their point of entry into the foreign market. That is why you have so many of these unapologetically antagonistic fuckwits smearing feces all over Japanese game scripts, because they love it when you get mad at them for doing it.

How? You can track everything someone posted through their handles.
Also, when a cute girl says she uses twitter a lot, you imagine that she is just using it for attention or talk with her friends or whatever.
Meanwhile, if a cute girl said she uses 4chan a lot, there a different implication, that she isn't what like what she seems.
Which would be the same for 2ch.

According to these feminists , 3rd wave seems pretty mixed.

It removes the original cultural context for dubious approximations. People will look back to the past and shit all over TL notes in old fansubs, but it was the best way to learn cultural context for customs/puns/idioms/wordplay and the like, and was especially useful since a lot of these are shared by different works coming from the same country. Localizations, as they exist now, reinforce the idea that the world has a globohomo monoculture where cultural touchstones can be substituted for one another.

I find it funny that employees usually can't say a damn thing about their works, not even whether the coffee they drink at office is hot or cold, because of the contracts they sign, but when it comes to translators, they appear publicly antagonizing consumers all the time. Are corporations unaware that this happens?
What kind of company would pay someone to do a job and then allow that person to go out in public and antagonize the very people you want to sell that product to? It doesn't make sense, and it seems to happen all the time with translators.

One example of positive localization is Turnabout Storyteller in Ace Attorney 6.

In the Japanese script they had to dance around directly referring to it in the dialogue because alcohol is considered a ratings bump but in English they could just jump over that because for a T-rated game they wouldn't step over any lines just to acknowledge someone drinking alcohol.

It was the entire reason why it ended up splitting up.
Almost no one in japan uses or at least openly says that they use 2channel or 5ch. Even now, considering it's known for being a has-been, just like 4chan nowadays. Of course it's not the exact same, but it's much closer of a comparison than 2ch and twitter, for example.

I didn't say 2ch hasn't had controversy all I said was that the site has nowhere near as bad as a rep. If you ask people in the U.S that dont use 4ch but know of its existence their minds always wander to /pol/ and /b/ and neonazis. You can attribute /pol/ to partly the MAGA movement and alt right existing and that's not even mentioning the countless retards on this site that have committed crimes and openly talked about it to then get busted. 2ch has a few incidents but it is still largely associated with weirdo otaku not terrorists or nazis even if those assumptions are pretty much fantasy. You have had the LDP and TBS mention 2ch in a negative light many times but I wouldn't equate that to how western fags think 4chan is nazi heaven.

Despicable activist faggots pretend that localization is translation, when it is not. They will say that translation is unfeasible without localization, which is just another way of pretending that they are necessary.
Localization is a marketing strategy, and that's all it is, nothing more.
It's changing the original meaning so that the new content is now more familiar to the new location where a company wants to sell a product. That's localization, period.

That's not their job, though? The job of a trannylator is to produce a new product for a foreign market, ideally for as cheaply as possible.

"Preserving culture" is idealism. Sure, it'd be nice if translation work was good. It'd also be really nice if I could replace the battery in my phone without melting the glue under my screen, but the market has determined that we don't get either of these things because the majority like eating shit.

So it's really like 2channel. Hiroyuki even said at one point that the site had professional right-wing groups manipulating engagement in the site anonymously.
Also, you don't see it in the same "nazi" light, because japan doesn't care about nazis as much as the west does.
Either way, as I said, it's not perfect, but it's much, much closer to 4chan in the west than any other site.

Okay, let's say we have a Japanese game in which a character likes to eat Takoyaki a lot. The majority of people in the west who play the game have no idea what Takoyaki is. Therefore, it's prudent to change their like of Takoyaki with a food that people will recognize. This is done for two reasons. Firstly, to maintain immersion for the player. Secondly, to preserve the original feel of the game. When the devs decided upon Takoyaki as the character's food, they did so because it's a common food people in Japan would recognize. If a player doesn't recognize this and has to ask what a Takoyaki is, that's not something the devs intended.

Companies like Shiravune who tl say Nukitashi and then 90% of the reviews on steam and online in general tell you to use this improvement patch or how Sekai Project translates 9-Nine and then you have the entire group of buyers who bought it telling users to use a patch to fix localizations like "broski". Maybe for AA and beyond jrpgs what you mentioned is true as I doubt the people buying trails in general care about the tl outside of maybe 5% at best.

Women are extremely sexually competitive by nature, see >>713623995. White women call Asian girls "children" because they don't want to have to compete with them, so they're trying to write them out of the equation. Think of it like this:
>Asian girls = children = pedophilia = illegal = not viable competition
Put simply:
>Asian girls = not viable competition
They use the exact same strategy with anime and vidya girls btw.

No, in your example it is implied that the mocker is an hypocrite because he is telling the others to stop doing what he is doing.
It would be the equivalent in your scenario as "Let's stop giving money to the scammer. Although I gave him half of my fortune".
To be close to the original, it would need to be "You are just a mocker" - Says the mocker.
And it's still not as good as the pot calling the kettle black, since it loses the implication that the characters uses idioms.

For those working in Japan they greater understanding of english is the actual problem.
In the 70s the shitters would snap because only like two people ever understood them and they had zero understanding of japanese. Only people to succeed in translation roles had an understanding of the language and desire to stay there.
Now any fucking retard can do it. You don't even need to be in the country which leads to all these faggot "translators" that just write fanfiction because they don't actually understand japanese.

Also I think people do just accept casual racism against white or Asians because they aren't "oppressed." Some Korean girl I know used to use the phrase "Jungle Asian" to refer to Viets and Thai and nobody really said a thing because those people don't really have it bad, or at least very much worse off than "City Asians" or whites.

Perhaps. Japanese has very explicit politeness levels built into the language and this goes way beyond just the usual 5 honorifics that most weebs know.
A translator trying to be as direct as possible would always leave everything at default keigo which would lose a lot of nuance compared to the original text since English is much more contextual.

That would require effort, and these threads are mostly for third worlders and poor people to direct their impotent rage somewhere since they can't play most of the games releasing today.
That and none of you actually have the skills required to do any of this. These threads are filled to the brim with Neanderthals that can't extract game data, let alone change it without breaking the game in question, and the odds of any of you actually learning Japanese is basically a big fat zero considering how much bragging their is about MTLs in these threads.
Ultimately, nothing will be accomplished because nothing is ever accomplished here. That's why months of raging about Dragon Quest and Hundred Line translations led to literally nothing happening.

It's an equivalent to what the name Romia roughly means while still sounding naturalistic.
Romia is only 'foreign' in the same way most DQ names are foreign to any Japanese player, and Michelle is a name that holds a roughly similar meaning without sounding out of place alongside the rest of the cast.
Similarly, Seren (an obvious play on Siren), who is another mermaid, was renamed to Marina.
This is just standard DQ fare to keep names roughly obvious and is typically pushed by Armor Project because they think it'll make DQ successful, since all the most heavily localized DQ titles were the most successful ones.

This is why
Although this may be very accurate which is okay there's no way the original also had the connotation to hip-hop culture. Which I don't mind, but, I feel like there was bias in the word choice possibly. Again I don't know but the idea remains the same in cases where we do know the original people post a lot. I just don't want personal bias and opinions in translations and I want it to retain the full meaning and character. I know that's very hard sometimes with Japanese, but it's their job.

They are entirely correct, though. Phrases like that have white supremacist connotations in the West that were not intended by the author and may be experienced as jarring by the reader, giving a completely different experience from the original.

I see so many non-white people use white as something describing beauty too. It's bizarre. It's no new either. It's in their myths. In some places it represented spirits.
It's taken white people to say "hey we're not that pure and beautiful" for them to even about the way they use those sorts of things.
It's a bizarre situation because it's so objectively used that way.

To me though, white represents death. So does black. Both do.

We're talking about cultural differences here. But if you want to bring subjectivity into it: yes, that is why translation is always, in part, interpretation. The translator has to use their knowledge of the source and target cultures and have a degree of creativity in order to produce an equivalent effect in the reader.
Again, this does not go for academic translations, where you'd actually want to keep the reference to white skin and slap a footnote on it. But, for obvious reasons, that is less feasible in spoken video game dialogue mass-marketed to twelve year olds.

It's universal. Look at their myths. Look at what they used white dresses and shit like that for in the past. It's always been white = purity and beauty. Like the sun.

That's why. The sun/light is universal. So is the night. So is blood.
All these generally have the same association for all people.
Humans are very primitive with their associations of things when construing linguistic interpretations. It's things like these obvious symbols that people use to construe their language. It's also how we translate between languages.

Just use white and black as we all do as human beings.

I can only imagine that these insane fundamentalist activists operate in the same mental world that my retarded brother is currently in, a world where nothing makes sense and all decisions are made with the gut and without any regard for logic.
