Before I did any manga translation, I was on the side of "keep it as close to the original as possible." But I gave up on that the instant I actually had to sit down and write something that was readable. You basically have to take some liberties or it's just a clunky stilted mess. It's depressing to read that stilted translations aren't always just a weakness on the translator's part but are actually a deliberate decision by crazy people. It reminds me of those awful Chrono Trigger/FF6 retranslations.

You're fighting the good fight, Rodenthar.

If there's one thing a lifetime of anime has taught me, it's that your fighting spirit never dies. And even if it does, it's reborn in an RPG.
