Fan translation adds memes and pop culture references

>Official translation replaces 2ch memes and references with Zig Forums memes and references
>twitter fanbase gets mad the memes are offensive

Example of this? I know there's one or two but I can't for the life of me think of any

this is one of the more infamous ones.

I'm not sure what you're referring to, but I was thinking about one of the akibas trip games where they have a character call someone a trap

Acceptable in a fan project that results in getting a translation you would otherwise never receive. Unacceptable otherwise.

I'm in the minority of people who demands machine translations over other forms of translation.

That's our Geocuck for you, haha...

Guess the game.

Localizing japanese jokes is kinda ok since a lot of times it's impossible to actually translate them. Sadly, most people working on translations think that localizing means replacing the whole script with retarded jokes and unfunny memes, even in parts where characters are talking normally.

The best translations are the ones that completely re-write most of the dialogue to work in English, prove me wrong.

>bitch when the translators match the original tone of the work instead of treating Mystical Pantsu Quest XVII like a work of religious significance

did wolf's rain, cowboy bepop, or ghits do this?

>fan translation takes nearly/over a decade to barely progress
>only suddenly releases one day when the translation is going to get “sniped” by someone else fed up with having no translations
>original translator throws a massive bitchfit online
This is annoying with both games and manga.

The original dialogue was written in Kana and was meant to read like stilted robot speech. Yeah the translation memes it up a bit but the concept is the same.

>fan translation takes decades to come out
>somehow is translated first into another foreign language

after seeing the other 2 images I honestly can't tell if this is real or not

Scanlation teams are the fucking worst

Series will go untouched for months into years and if someone else tries to pick it up there's huge drama and blacklisting for trying to "snipe" a series.

name 3 games

gamergate haha funny japan meme

It really depends on the competency of the rewrites

FUCK OFF

Didn't Ace Attorney reference ytmnd at one point? The saddest thing is that website got two chinese spyware knockoffs infinitely more popular than it even in its heyday

Mizzurna Falls
Sakura no Uta
statistically speaking there's probably at least 3

cowboy bebop and other anime from around that era usually involved the original director in the english translation, hence a lot of the iconic voice acting and line delivery of shows like Bebop, Shamploo, NGE and even Silent Hill.
Bebop and Shamploo in particular were designed for the western market. FROM games do a similar thing, the game dialogue is written in english first and the JP release just has nip subs.
