ultimate is definitely snappier but it simplifies it down too much and loses the associated humor behind the original title. which again is a general problem with the nisa translations for danganronpa, they don't actually flow better and they mess up with some of the actual jokes that were present in the existing scripts

there was a similar drama about fata morgana of all things lol. a character is said to have a "fragile male ego" whereas in japanese they were just called a tsundere. the phrasings a bit weird but it was a pretty good change given the character it was refering to imo.Waffleman_ posted:I will never accept "Ultimate" ya it stinks

Meowywitch posted:i dont necessarily like ultimate but I don't know how to translate 超高校 into English either, so You could just keep it as goofy as the original "super high-schooler" which works better because "ultimate" implies that these kids are the best at their subject matter period, and while that was sometimes true it was often moreso just "they are really good for highschoolers, not complete pros" and it kinda adds to the goofy tone of the series as a whole.

Meowywitch posted:i dont necessarily like ultimate but I don't know how to translate 超高校 into English either, so i mean it literally is just super high school. that's all those kanji mean when put together. if you want to find a snappier alternative you want to find something that at least preserves the flavor a bit and while ultimate maintains the general meaning it doesn't maintain the inherent silliness there.

Meme Emulator posted:The era of really bad translations is dead and buried, and honestly that’s probably why the argument can get so strong now. Twenty years ago bad translations were self evident. Nobody had to argue that ‘this guy are sick’ and ‘move zig’ were bad, and it’s trivial to convince people it is wrong or should be changed. It's bc she's an ojou sama and talks like one and the machine tl doesn't depict that you dumb bitch

Fortunately most of the doggy translations can be fixed by playing it in jpn audio and you can pick out the desu~wa characters yourself or the kansai-ben or ones that talk like a courtesan

Nobody had to argue that ‘this guy are sick’ and ‘move zig’ were bad, and it’s trivial to convince people it is wrong or should be changed.  'we completely fell for it' is a literal translation of this line that google translate spits out however what's actually being said here is, 釣られ. which uses the kanji, 釣. this means angling, fishing, getting hooked (by fishing bait.) the character is saying he got baited and hooked like a fish. the translation keeps this. the google tl he spits out does not. sit down and shut the gently caress up about poo poo you dont understand.

and if you were getting probed for this six years ago im sure the flashcard program you launch every 13 days so you can say you're 'learning japanese' as you hit the translate tweet button on jp fanartists talking about their dinner would be a more worthwhile use of your time then crying about poo poo you barely grasp

Another favorite clueless culture war tourist moment I remember is when people accused the translators for Somnium files of "forcing in Woke ideology" and citing the LGBT line...even though the JP line says out the acronym in plain detail that even if you didn't know a lick of Japanese you'd pick it up lol.
