AFAIK + Show Spoiler [Log Horizon] + She is not as much hacking into JP server but trying to travel from Europe to Japan in the new world though which I'm sure involves a lot of hacking with her sword. | ||

Why does 'nakama' make my stomach turn, you mean? Because I believe that translations should actually translate. Proper nouns and names are in a grey area I can tolerate, but 'nakama' isn't some magical term that can't be expressed across languages. | ||

I usually agree with you and don't like those kind of things in general but I liked "Imouto-powers" from WCW in episode 4 (I think?) a lot more than the properly translated version. I mean the fact that it's english-jap mix in the orignial probably makes it even more tolerable and whatever FFF ended up translating it as just sucked | ||

A phrase that used both english and japanese? Honestly I don't know how I feel about that, although sometimes it can be real funny: On March 16 2014 09:35 Slaughter wrote: Its really just personal preference of the translators. While reading D-frag they kept in certain Japanese words because it was more "moe" and it fit the situation (I like it when they put those little notes talking about why they translated certain portions the way they did). Honorifics are also something that should be left alone as well. It doesn't bother me though when translators leave words in Japanese for the most part (unless I have to go look them up). You can like it as much as you want, but its still lazy not-translations. It doesn't really hinder my understanding on whatever I'm watching, since at this point I've picked up enough stuff, but its still ridiculous. | ||

Because I believe that translations should actually translate. Proper nouns and names are in a grey area I can tolerate, but 'nakama' isn't some magical term that can't be expressed across languages. I don't really feel the same way; at least not as strongly. I can imagine a translator deciding to not translate a word to let the viewer associate that word with some situation, creating some extra meaning within the story.This can be quite effective when people aren't really familiar with the original language. This can of course create misunderstanding of the meaning of a word and it can be annoying to people familiar with it, but I can , in some cases, see why one would decide to not translate a certain returning word. | ||

I think I saw "ojyousama-atmosphere" or something similar, whatever uiharu says in Railgun episode 1. That made me cringe pretty hard as well. | ||

There is no extra meaning within the story, though. Words mean what they mean. It isn't the translator's job to "improve" the script. | ||
