I doubt a game about Internet pop culture from 20 years ago is made for zoomer trannies. The zoomer trannies would agree that it isn't made for them since they removed all of the 20 year old references that were in the original script.

Classic example of gatekeeping being important
>I don't understand this but I want to be a part of the community, no, I AM NOW THE COMMUNITY, KILL THE ORIGINAL MEMBERS AND RAPE THE ORIGINAL MEANING, IT IS NOW WHAT I WANT IT TO BE
Another funny example is loli. Normalfags turn a blind eye to it at best, when it is in fact ingrained into the medium. Every single anime and every single video game they play regardless of how popular always has a chance for a random sexualized loli to be included, and there's nothing they can do about it so pretend it simply doesn't exist because they desperately want to be involved in the community whilst simultaneously demonizing it

denpa is about japanese sentiment towards globalization where people feel disconnected or alienated from reality, and it is difficult to feel it if you're a weeb in a country responsible for it. So I think they included lgbt/political stuff to induce those feelings onto players

that is a good localization if the players are harshly reacting to it

If the plan is to rewrite a bunch of isolated lines that people are laughing at of it's not going to be actually fixed

The problem isn't that "yamero" in translated as "end fascism" for some reason (which is bad but fundamentally if there were like 5-10 baffling translation decisions you could just ignore it), it's that the tone is completely off. It's like the localizer completely misunderstood what the game was supposed to be about (2000s internet culture/denpa) and instead rewrote it all to sound exactly like his tranny discord server instead.

I legitimately believe the game developer should be able to successfully sue a translator for something like this. Imagine if you had a house built and the foundation was done incorrectly. You would 100% have grounds to sue. How is this any different? The dev is losing tangible money because someone lied about their credentials. Japanese government should demand the English translator appear in court under charges of fraud.

The problem is localizers have been spreading this lie to Japanese developers for decades and Japanese developers just trust them because this sort of bullshit is completely unheard of in any other translation industry.

May have been told this is what you have to do to appeal to western audiences these days, and simply permitted the "experts" he hired to follow their own advice.

I'll give 'em the benefit of a doubt, over the certain caste of translators that we all know deliberately hide, and misconstrue things until it's too late.

Why does it seem like there's no passionate translation companies, that aren't plagued by mental illness and identity politics.

Is it just that a degree in language ain't worth it?
That there's simply more lucrative ways to profit off being a translator, than doing indie anime games? So nobody with self-respect and rent due does it?

Do the video gamey gigs have to rely on DEI tax breaks, loans, and grants from the government and other consultancy company schemes, to remain 'profitable?'

If you want the full culture and overall nuance, you need to read it the original language. A lot of idioms and figurative languages are lost in translation when exported overseas, and they don't have the same impact as localizations do here.

That's the case for every language. You could go further and make an argument that in order to fully experience what the author was trying to say you'd need to have lived in the same time period, country and social class.

The only way I can see it, is if they have some greater sponsor company that contracts them under predatory terms. I'm talking pennies paid on the word. Low hourly wage. no retirement benefits. Company healthcare provided only while they're actively working on something. And then said company takes a big chunk portion of each commission, despite maybe only being liable for the setup and contract paperwork.

At the end of the contract? Maybe these people go back on state run unemployment for months at a time. Until the next job gets thrown their way.

'Cus there ain't no way in hell these people are capable of running a profitable business on their own. Unless they're all bleeding their parents money from being a nepobabby.

Hell, he even contradicts himself like immediately before that line:
>we plan to review all in-game text alongside our localization partners in the near future and make sure the final product fully represents my vision.
>All of the Japanese text was written and crafted by me personally and I also worked very closely with our localization teams in English from the very start to create a version that represents my vision for Yunyun and Qtie's world.
If he's going to review the whole translation with the localization retards, then how did he already work very closely with them to make something that represents what he wanted?
>>737614154
The thing about AI translation (or AI anything, really) is that it can only be good after double, triple, whatever-checking the results. If you just slop it up and send the first result you get then there's no guarantee of anything.

Localization should be considered a crime.
>>
>>737614154
AI translations actually translates and you can manually edit it afterwards, unless you think they use the raw unedited outputs without any review.
These trannyslators aren't localizations it's literally a rewrite just for use as a tool in their goddamn activism.

One of my personal rules to live life by is that you should be polite no matter who you're dealing with. To hold your tongue and voice your issues like an adult is much better than to create some scenario where you make everything about someones difference to you.

We would all get along better if we were more honest about why we hate each other, not forcing people we disagree with out and being hypocritical.

I fucking called it when I saw that it was the same localisation company (and in many cases the same staff) behind NSO who clearly know how to do the translation properly, the only sane explanation is that they had a different set of project guidelines i.e. in this case the original creator breathing down their necks telling them to fuck it up as part of the spec.

I've been like that for most of my life, and you know what i've realize? when people are literally spitting in your face and insulting you, maybe you shouldn't be giving people like them the benefit of the doubt anymore.
Its better to just assume the worst of a group unless proven otherwise because if the positions were flipped they'd want you dead. I'm not saying to insult them outright but always keep it in the back of your head and don't think everyone's out to get along chances are you're 1 involuntary tic away from them wanting to dox and murder you

I watch some japanese tv programs with ai subs, they are mostly correct and if something is wrong then if you know some japanese you will just hear the correct line and fix the translation in your head, even with mistakes it's way better experience than trannylated subs talking about fascism and fucking capitalism, can't wait for someone to figure out how to easily replace subs with ai subs in every game

>>737614697

>>737614893
No. Spend two seconds looking at their website. This garbage is what they want to do to every game. So what actually happened is they had less oversight and couldn't control themselves.
>>
>>737614870
So he is usually pushing the pro-localization line? With how usually localization-defenders act like a mob, and defend anything one of their own is responsible for, even if they privately think it sucks, this is evidence that here localizers really went too far.
>>
>>737614893
NSO was their trojan horse title to build reputation to then fuck up as many future games as possible.
>>
>>737604396
What we need to learn to do is simple. Even if you REALLY want to play a game, if it has a shitty translation, you buy it, leave a review saying "bad translation", then refund. The last part is very important here. Have some self-control.
They will have to notice, if 50+% of English reviews look like this.
Also, we who know Japanese should do the same saying that "I'm not going to give money to these translators, since I'm not even playing in English" except in Japanese.

>>737611842
>people wouldn't understand its meaning
If only people had a small device handy that they could use to quickly look up information. But that would mean they could learn something about other cultures, god forbid.
>>
>>737610281
Nothing is going to change if they have the same trannies review all the lines
>>
>>737614893
i blame them both, the original creator is either lying in the press release and literally didn't give a shit about the localization process but is now pretending he was involved to save face. Or he's just a Jap retard who unironically thought ya americans know americans better this will be better and let his game gets bastardize either way Fuck the original dev and fuck the translators.

>What we need to learn to do is simple. Even if you REALLY want to play a game, if it has a shitty translation, you buy it, leave a review saying "bad translation", then refund.
I was just skipping buying the games but I might start to buy just to refund and leave a negative review. Otherwise retarded companies will never notice trannylators fucked up their game.

>>737614923
Yes some people are actually horrible, but when you're hopefully in your 80s and reflecting on your life and the people that you hated, you'll probably think of, they were just really, really emotionally hurt and needed support.

Of course, if they're being physically violent that's entirely different.
>>
>>737614995
Pretty much, he was very infamous on /a/ (coincidentally around the year this game is set in) for pushing localization, uncommon encoding formats and some other shit into anime fansubbing that most people didn't like.
>>
>>737615053
>the original creator is either lying in the press release and literally didn't give a shit about the localization process
It's definitely this
>>
>>737610517
>>737613549
This is exactly why these people get into game localization, though. If they really wanted to, if they REALLY tried, they'd get into translating things that actually pays them. They accept lower wages to influence culture. They may be perpetually renting an apartment in LA, but they get immense satisfaction at the notion that they can control cultural discourse in some way.
>>
>>737615061
>skipping buying the games
The problem with this approach is, companies will look at the file in Excel and say "westerners don't want to play Japanese games any more, let's stop wasting money on translations".
Just make sure to not buy-refund too often, because then Valve may refuse your refund request.

No, because pro and anti localization isn't a binary choice. He's against stuff like inline TL notes and keeping honorifics in non-Japanese settings which is why people throw him into the pro localization bucket he's never been in favor of retarded shit like total fanfic rewrites or badly fitting zoomzoom lingo
>>
>>737613608
Translation can be boiled down to strict application of nearest-neighbor algorithms, and at worst you get an awkward sounding literal translation that doesn't meaningfully change meaning or intent. Also translation isn't attempting to make anything new.

I've spent most of my life symphatizing and literally being around narcassists and enablers who've physically and verbally assaulted me then made excuses along the lines of they have it rough because dad was abusive, they're just doing it to push you harder, they're getting old and will be married soon, I talked to them and they regret it x infinitum.

The idea that you need to think about how people feel is a fantasy. Try doing it for most of your life and you end up where people like me, where you're jaded and questioning why you ever bothered wanting to be an emotional sponge for people who will to your face tell you oh it was just something in the past why are you mad about it while repeating the same thing over and over until you crack and tell them off.

You don't need to be in your 80s for that,

dude could've missed the mistakes himself. maybe he doesn't know english well. looking through thousands of lines i can see believing that line about fascism is an actual, abeit more frivolous, translation.

Just run it through AI translations nowadays. If a visual novel I want to play is all in Japanese I just run it through Claude and it just works. No need to give a shit about these tranny translators. you could even get Claude to set up a CSV of the Japanese Dialogue line by line for better organization. It's literally what LLMs are made for.

Read the one line they rewrote as "i'd cut my uterus out if I could", fucking hell man. It's like a cry for help.

They could possibly sue the faggot, assuming the contract isn't ass backwards retarded and the translator can be demonstrated to have been acting in bad faith. Usually however, there's an agreed upon review period during which the customer can review the result and if they don't complain before X date they're considered to have accepted the translation. Since the game has already released that period is likely long gone, but exceptions are usually made for especially bad fuck ups or deliberate malice.

The question is, does the dev care enough and if they do, whether they're willing to go through an overseas legal rigamaroo.

The sad part is, you've got a grain of truth in what you're saying. This game absolutely is something the troons would swarm towards. It's just culturally those people wouldn't be troons if we didn't fail them. They'd be normal men with a fetish for lesbians, or maybe are a bit autistic. Instead, the progressive left sought to continue the momentum of gay marriage getting legalized, and made the terrible mistake of lionizing troons in the mid 2010s onward. That's how we got here today.

Imagine these people were to translate the manual of a delicate, precise and expensive medical equipment, and it resulted on a malfunction, costing at minimum expensive repairs, the loss of a human life. Consequences would catch on them instantly.

That has always been the case, sadly. It did get worse over the years and more politically charged, but the politically charged stuff just made people start caring about an issue that was already there, and they still ignore every case that doesn't have the political element.
Which is their right, I'm not saying they shouldn't care about these, but most people who care only care about fighting the culture war, not translation accuracy.
I remember the translator behind FFX, praised at length for his work especially on Vagrant Story and FFXII talking about how he learned about how far is "too far" when it comes to how much he can rewrite the text because he changed a line in a conversation between Tidus and Auron to mirror another conversation with Jecht to show that Tidus was mirroring him, and Nojima straight up calling him out on it and said "that is not what this scene is about" and Nojima explained the scene to him and asked for a rewrite right as they were doing the VA recording.
Now imagine if Nojima's level of english was "need machine translation to understand anything at all", would he even notice the narrative implications of changing an exchange to reference Jecht when it didn't before?

That's such a LIEmatsu*!

*TL note: The original term here is 嘘松 (usomatsu), combining the kanji for "lie" (嘘) with the kanji for pine tree (松). The latter kanji is usually used for names; in this case it comes from Osomatsu-san (おそ松さん) which is a Japanese comedy anime television for adult produced by Studio Pierrot, based on Fujio Akatsuka's 1962 manga series, Osomatsu-kun. The term came about in 2016 from an X post where an Osomatsu-san claimed to have had a cinematic, "too good to be true" encounter with a stranger who looked or acted exactly like one of the characters from the show. The story was deemed to be obviously fake, leading to the accusation of him being an 嘘松 (usomatsu). English equivalents could be "that happened" or "then everyone clapped" - as in the context of calling out an obviously fake story on the internet. In a more laid-back dialogue format like in this conversation, a contemporaneous slang term that came about in the English world in the late 2010s like 嘘松 (usomatsu), could be "that's cap".
