I can't wait for AI to improve so that localizers can all die and we can get accurate translations
Why do localizers insert their stupid fanfic over Jap dialogue? Do they think it's funny?
>>750170212Because they believe they're devs too.
me too. I'm sick and tired of this shit>Anime girl innocently says "Let's do it together!" to another female character>localizer: Oh no that's no good. Some chud will get the wrong idea. Change it to "Count me in!" which is land and sea, not even close translationmcdonald's soon
>>750170128>>750170348everytime I think about forgiving localizers I always forget they're self entitled dicks. It's one thing to read a guys slop it's another thing read the guy tell you he thinks he's on the same level as the creators and thus has right to embellish as he wants. tiresome people I really do hope MTL takes off and these people get thrown out.
>>750170128>I wish planet Earth would give me everything I want, for free, immediately.>More than "than wish," I REFUSE to accept anything EXCEPT absolutely everything, on my terms, the way I want it, in the place I want it, and it better be PERFECT!>I'm going to make a thread on the Internet that shouts my thoughts! I'm sure people will respect me!!You don't sound very invested in life.
>>750170774resetera is that way
>>750170128>I want translations to be correct instead of having obnoxious retards completely rewrite dialogue You sound very invested in life.
>>750170128>I can't wait
>>750170128Won't happen. Localizer parasites know the writing is on the wall for them because of AI, so what they're doing is literally worming their way into the Jap dev teams at the start of development to still get their slop into the game
>he's waitingLMAO I GUESS HE LIED
>>750170885What's "that way?" A "way of life?" An object? A town? I don't know what you're referencing.
I'm going to take a shower. You girls want anything?

>>750170128Reading Dies Irae while learning German redpilled me that English translators have been doing that for a long time. The characters recite a lot of German poems there and the English translation is usually more fancy and flowery compared to the original German verses that are relatively straightforward.
>>750171251>What's A "way of life?"mucha lucha
>>750170348IM A MEMBER OF THE DEV TEAM IM THERE FROM START TO FINISHSo why not ask the writers what they think the best fit would be?
I used to translate hentai doujins. I would always insert my own version of sex talk between the characters because it turned me on more. Also normies have no respect for anything from japan. It's just a childish novelty to them. That's why they can get away with it.French novels would never get this kind of treatment.
If you want localizers to die you don't have to wait on AI.
>>750172425>French novels would never get this kind of treatment.They absolutely would if the translator was up their ass enough, weebface
>>750170128Haha
>>750171739>mucha luchaI don't speak Mexican. Can you translate that, for me?
>>750171676Kinda reminds me of Hoffman's translation of Storm of Steel. Starts out with a foreword completely bashing the fuck out of Creighton's original translation and then proceeds to make some dogshit translation with excessive descriptions, flowery prose and outright omissions because erm nationalism bad.I speak literally no German so I could be wrong, but I always felt that Creighton's version captured the German straightforwardness that you described, even if it wasn't perfectly translated. Even ignoring the "problematic" elements being taken out, Hoffman's prose is kind of dogshit and makes it feel like a very different book, I dunno.All this to say - fuck modern translators. Give me AI at this point, I don't give a shit, a 1:1 translation often captures the feeling better than some retard with an agenda telling you how it -should- be.
>>750170348not familiar with game so correct me if wrong. if they think its akward for the character to just say the name of the move in the language they speak in normally as opposed to what the jp version did which is having them say it in a different language, why dont they just have them yell it in japanese
>>750170212Because most of them are trannies, and their whole life is a fucking fanfic.
>>750170128AI translations are already high enough quality to be used. The only issues are it requires a subscription and a person to proof read the lines for errors.
>>750175642just have a bot do the proofreading, since when is that something that requires skill?
>>750171676>The characters recite a lot of German poems there and the English translation is usually more fancy and flowery compared to the original German verses that are relatively straightforwardthe Japanese writer himself doesn't know German and used Google Translate to add some German text because he thought it sounded chuuni and aesthetically cool
>>750175790What does "education" have anything to with human intelligence???I don't have to "do" anything!Bring me my Pop-Tarts!
>>750176567nobody said anything about education, you are hallucinating
>>750177176My bot proofread those posts; it didn't require any skill.Just like "education," apparently.
>>750177176>nobody said anything about educationYeah! Who needs school? FUCK school! I can have my phone read everything FOR me! And make my posts FOR me! And flirt with girls FOR me! And do my job FOR me! There are NO downsides!!Scratch that -- the only downside is listening to people who claim to have EARNED skills and rewards for their efforts!Well, I say, NO YOU DIDN'T! SHUT UP AND GIVE ME EVERYTHING I WANT, IN PERFECT CONDITION, TAILORED TO MEET ALL OF MY FLAMBOYANT AND SHALLOW DESIRES, RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!! I HATE PEOPLE WHO TRYYYYYYY!!!
>>750170128You should know Japanese though. If you need localisations or translations of any kind then you have only yourself to blame.
ITT: a bunch of dour-faced fart factories making uh-oh stinky in their adult diapers.
>>750170128Being able to replay old games with a literal translation is one of the most interesting applications of the technology. On top of the amount of fanfiction exposed I wonder if the accessible "dry dialogue" will shift perceptions of Japanese stuff.
