>game about urban zoomers has them use urban zoomer phrasing
do we really need 50 threads every time this happens

>>731076489
This is only applicable when the characters are actual using zoomer slang, e.g. all the gal characters people are upset talk like brain damaged retards in both languages.

you not liking current slang doesn't mean it's for "brain damaged retards", it just means you've fallen behind the times and are upset about it

Media for zoomers isn't loaded with zoomer slang. There's always a delay with this stuff, and when companies try to get ahead import it early it's always bad and gets made fun of.

Most zoomer media was made by 40 to 50 year olds who are unable to operate apps. The ZZZ people are closer in age or late Zoomers.

Why is "let them cook" mean that the outcome should be allowed to happen but "cooked" means "fucked". So it's allowing them to fuck up on purpose?

It's pretty insane. Because the discussion will be like "you can't translate japanese 1:1", "We needed to punch it up" "You can't read japanese, it's actually completely accurate" and all of that stuff. All said when this chicanery is taking place. And learning japanese makes it worse. Because there's tons of stuff on equal level to that, that you'd never notice without having japanese comprehension.

This is genuinely hilarious, absolute peak, weebspeak. I don't know enough about the character herself to know how fitting it is, but it sure as hell makes her stand out in a crowd in a good, memorable way. From the (actual Japanese, not translated) text she seems to speak very normally in those sentences, but those sentences don't tell me much about her actual personality. If she's a dork, then making her talk like a dork is plenty fitting.
>>
>>731076329
>oh look its a thread pretending that the use of slang to replace slang in a translation is either new or unusual.
Faggot, baka and a zoomer detected.

The only other option is to leave in the strange chink/nip idioms that have no real translation in English (noting we don't use idioms the same way they do, really) with an autistic TL note like the infamous 00s fan subs.

>T/L note: baka means idiot

AI will fix all of these problems in more. No more localizers turning dick jokes into height jokes, no more zoomer slangs. It will all be healed.

AI will still have editors. Those editors will be the same people who butcher translations now.

The only thing that matters in Japanese is context.

>>731079517
Cooking is a process
Cooked is a result
if something is cooked and the result is bad there's no salvaging it -> shit's cooked bro
if something is cooked and good, it's literally food -> insert chef's kiss

Internet slang in the modern era beyond retarded.

Screenshots are poor quality but Japanese, English and Traditional Chinese side-by-side. Also the images at the bottom with the title of the quest. I can't read chinese. But when I put 閃耀的此刻 into deepl I got "輝くこの瞬間" which is closer to the actual japanese title than the english title. So that's a thing I noticed. Don't know what the chinese text says but the japanese wouldn't be "let her cook" I think. And I'd lean towards the JP being more accurate just because they're more closely related.

>>731091010
So she doesn't go full zoomer in the Japanese really. She's emotive but not, "rizz bruh" brainrot. So unless the japanese is removing the zoomer slang, I don't see why the japanese can get the meaning across without going heavy on zoomer words while the english can't.
