Thank you, people who enjoyed the translationpost :3:

Some irrelevant tl;dr about translations of culturally significant books since I am procrastinating:

Translation of Dune was a massive event when Turkey was having a push towards westernization through potential EU membership. When a country itself doesn't have an unbroken literary tradition like UK or France, it really depends on having a strong translation (and later on, with the advent o TV, dubbing) base which Turkey had since the late Ottoman era (the Young Turks [Jeune Turks, not the podcast]] westernization but especially became prevalent after the founding of the republic in 1923.

Before the translation of Dune, science-fiction books were quite rare in favor of classic literature, I imagine this due to translating classics being easier as they don't have technical / science-y terms that many translators would have trouble using.

I think Asimov got translated before but that was super niche and didn't make too much impact. The real impact was Dune when it got translated in 97, almost at the same time as Lord of The Rings (which is another legendary translation) that literally jumpstarted the sci-fi and fantasy craze in Turkey.

Both translations were so masterful that the first edition of Dune books are now price gouged by collectors (not much in terms of dollars obv but imagine paying 150 TRY for the first book when min wage is 2250 TRY, a full complement would cost 750-1000 TRY) granted that someone is willing to sell. New translation of Dune utterly tanked and tbh a bit too late in the late 2010sç

I think the of Dune sold crazy amounts, also helped by the fact that the Westwood Dune game being extremely popular back then with the young people (like me, I was quite surprised to find out that people were using knives instead of devastator tanks and solar artillery :v:). Almost everyone I know bought the books thinking that it was about the Westwood game and be all like :confused: but being so immersed in the book regardless.

Success of Dune translation and LOTR opened the floodgates to both sci-fi and fantasy with names like Alfred Bester, Le Guin and many other following in a short succession and pretty much got me into reading even more (I loved reading before that but finding a tresure trove of new genres like this lit me up).

So, it's quite exciting to see a modern Dune movie is a real thing that exists now, brings me back to 90s and the first time my mind being blown by the first book. :shobon:

All of them were in English, lol even modern games barely have Turkish localisation. I think the latest big game was The Witcher 3 had proper Turkish subs.

Crysis had full Turkish localisation including voice acting because Crytek was a Turkish firm. Mount and Blade is also a Turkish-made game so it has good localisation but Bannerlord was more English-centric

This makes it look like they're more updating Lynch than acknowledging the SciFi miniseries. Can't blame 'em personally.

with the absence of other big movie franchises people are loving starving for something to latch on to, and the Chalomet/Zendaya thing is absolutely going to bring young women to this movie. it's honestly kind of rad that something like as weird as Dune might actually get a cultural movie moment despite how hosed up the industry is right now

Tag urself I'm the pasty bug-eyed chick that's unimpressed by anything but the loud noises

e: also that triple trailer mashup is great. The Lynch movie was a mess but that's a good reminder that it had all the right elements, just in a weird order or with weird Lynchian twists
