Korean translators, don’t fall for this eurocentric bullsh*t. They are screwed without us and they know it—look how this article doesn’t feature a single translator of an Asian language. Charge more. x.com/antonhur/statu…

Translations come out best when the translator has control over the final text and works closely with the editor on any issues. This should not be a controversial thing to say. Translators who work only in the otaku zone are too used to being disrespected.
これを読んで思い出したのが、FFTのオリジナル版(PS版）だ。翻訳者が暴走云々ではなくて、単純に英訳のレベルが低かった。例えば固有名詞ひとつとっても「北天騎士団」が「Hokuten Knights」という具合🤣…

I hate the phrase "lost in translation." It's often used in bad faith to paint translation as something inherently evil or wrong. The act of translation isn't as simple as right or wrong, good or bad, and people miss how much we've gained from it. j-entranslations.com/gained-in-tran…
A localization project manager can make or break a project, and the great ones are supportive and empathetic to their team members as much as the project's goals. j-entranslations.com/best-practices…
It is completely unacceptable to rely on AI translations in the manga industry. Your fav may be the next to suffer, bc mine sure did when @AblazePub decided to use AI and shoddy oversight on Sumiyoshi Ryo's "Centaurs". ... Yeah. Her name is not "Sokugyo". Let's look further-🧵

You often hear "there is no one way to translate", but what does that really mean? Translation isn't a one-for-one action, it's a spectrum that's influenced by a number of factors ranging from limitations of a medium to the translator's themselves. j-entranslations.com/translation-is…

Had an amazing time interpreting at #BitSummit! Was a blast chatting with indie devs about their games, helping people geek out, and hanging out with other linguists. Was inspiring to meet all the younger translators just getting into the industry too. So many cool people.

They are screwed without us and they know it—look how this article doesn’t feature a single translator of an Asian language. Charge more. x.com/antonhur/statu…
Korean-English translators (this concerns no one else): Your baseline fee or advance should always be twice the TA suggested rate (so it would currently be £200/1k words). You should be getting at least 15M won/book (Daesan rate). Don’t accept less.

@MangaAlerts Ah yes let me pay you to give me incorrect translations. Absolute marketing geniuses
@tiger I agree. The companies I’m contracted with make it fairly difficult for me to be in direct contact with the rest of the publishing team. Only yesterday did I get in contact with the second editor for questions.
@tiger Anti-loc ppl often target translators as the ‘culprits’ behind the ‘unfair’ or ‘egregious’ (yes, I’ve seen the word thrown around!) loc work done on their fav pieces of media when, in reality, it’s often other parties actively making decisions that harm said media.
It's all disturbing. In some ways it feels like the whole world has decided that light novels don't matter as much as other novels. That felt really bad to me.
And yeah, it's caused by the schedule in many ways, and probably also from a lack of experience & training & critical thinking about craft all around? Idk. But we don't have to pretend it's just "how things go." At this rate "how things go" will be MT post-editing before long 💀
Editors dissing translators, editors expecting unpublishable work (hence the perceived need for "rewriters") from translators, translators turning in basically rough drafts—all of this is systemic rot. Y'all know that, right?
Translations come out best when the translator has control over the final text and works closely with the editor on any issues. This should not be a controversial thing to say. Translators who work only in the otaku zone are too used to being disrespected.
@YasumiMatsuno 私も子供のころは英語PS版を遊んでいて「Hokuten Knights」をずっと信じ続けたが、日本語を学び始めてPSP版をやっていた頃に「Order of the Northern Sky」の方が圧倒的に素晴らしい英訳で何故Hokutenだったのて疑問を抱えた😅 Alex氏やJoseph氏は本当英訳の天才なので今でも感謝しかない。
これを読んで思い出したのが、FFTのオリジナル版(PS版）だ。翻訳者が暴走云々ではなくて、単純に英訳のレベルが低かった。例えば固有名詞ひとつとっても「北天騎士団」が「Hokuten Knights」という具合🤣…
Unicorn Overlord had a free demo released. After playing it, I can say quite confidently that the localisation is abhorrent. Here begins a thread of numerous examples.
One of the best writing (and therefore, translating) tips I ever received
It is completely unacceptable to rely on AI translations in the manga industry. Your fav may be the next to suffer, bc mine sure did when @AblazePub decided to use AI and shoddy oversight on Sumiyoshi Ryo's "Centaurs". ... Yeah. Her name is not "Sokugyo". Let's look further-🧵
Poor Hayame's name is the worst, but there are other issues in the ENG release like forgotten punctuation, subtly mistranslated lines that seem to be the result of sub-obj confusion, and a careless refusal to decide whether the plural of 人馬 should be "centaur" or "centaurs".
But Vol. 1 gets published... with egregious errors. Obviously, the most unforgivable is in the first tweet. A JPN 101 student could tell you this char's name is Hayame. Why? Because it's IN FURIGANA RIGHT THERE THE VERY FIRST TIME THE CHARACTER IS INTRODUCED IN THE SERIES!
Matsukaze is usually referred to as a 荒馬 (wild centaur) in JPN blurbs. The most martial word ever used for him in the manga iirc is 山賊 (mountain bandit). But I tried to be excited bc I wanted more people to experience JINBA, and hoped they were just using buzzwords for PR.
tbh I was suspicious of @AblazePub from the first. Not bc I had never heard of them, but because the PR blurb described a main character as "a wild and proud samurai jinba from the mountains named Matsukaze" and that character is not in any way, shape, or form a samurai.
JINBA (人馬) was launched on East Press' Matogrosso website in 2016. It combines medieval jpn history and centaurs into a character-driven survival tale with amazing, anatomically fantastic artwork. Big fan! Never imagined such a niche series would be officially licensed, but- !
Hope this backfires massively, causes substantial PR damage to the company and makes them never touch AI tools again
The Ancient Magus' Bride manga returns with simultaneous English releases through AI translation 4NN.cx/.205774 ➤
AI翻訳はタダですが「魔法使いの嫁」の素晴らしさを絶対に壊してしまう。 ヤマザキ先生や英語ファンがかわいそう。 Bushiroadのケチ。人間翻訳が高すぎっていうの？ 英語ファンのことどうでもいいと思ってるの？ なんて無様なこと。恥ずかしい。 漫画に機械翻訳を使用しないこと。
大変お待たせしました。 本日12月21日22:30より連載再開の『魔法使いの嫁』新章は、AI翻訳技術を活用した英語版を同時連載していく事を決定しました！ The new chapter of "The Ancient Magus' Bride" will be serialized simultaneously in English alongside the Japanese version!
