I think that interviews on an english based starcraft site should be in english only as it doesn't really make sense to be iin korean. If you want to honor the original interview place a link at the begining of the post.
cava!

How is it hard to read the 1Korean question/1English question format? Some of you are definitely fucking retarded, and it looks pro as hell.

I can't read a single word of korean (probably like 80% of TL.net) so english only is fine to me

It really is up to the translators, they shouldn't make any changes that would make translating anymore difficult for them.

That said, if it isn't any additional hassle to change things and they want to just find the best way to do things, I think putting the whole interview in English without any Korean is the best way. If people can understand Korean, then they wouldn't need to read the translations in the first place. The people who need translations get nothing from having any Korean included, and it just takes time to add that additional text.

In my opinion, the best way to do the translations for both the translators and the readers is to just post the interview entirely in English with a link to the original interview. This way people who can read Korean can just click the link, the other readers can have a neater presentation of the only text they can understand, and the translators can save themselves some time by only posting translations and a link.

hmm.

1. It takes me no more than 5 minutes to read after match interviews in FiFo.
2. I have no problem with people not reading my interview translation, for my intentional omission of progamers' alias. Just the same, I have no problem with people disagreeing with my personal belief that progamers should not be called by their alias simply out of convenience, but by their real names.

same.
i'm really thankful, no matter what!

but if someone is, let's say, learning korean, then korean/english is very good. So you can keep it like that.

I voted for all korean then all in english, because as an english only speaker that's the most convenient way to read it, but all of the formats are pretty much fine, as long as there is an interview

i think its great the way it is

whichever way is easiest for the fine men doing the job i say =D
Yea that looks just like Kang Min... amazing game sense... and uses mind games well, but has the micro of a washed up progamer.

As long as there's an interview I'm happy - voted that one, just leave it the way it is.

Big thanks to translators who are doing great job here. Much love

well yeah it is easier to translate with the paragraph there but i think it is common practice to condense the two together, i always do this with my translation work anyway.

the progamer names is a bit of an inconvenience, seems like you force us to adapt to a certain culture. either way this is not a big deal, it is useful to learn these stuff anyway.


In my opinion, the best way to do the translations for both the translators and the readers is to just post the interview entirely in English with a link to the original interview.

agreed

this is purely a description of my preferences, of course any interviews at all is great and the effort is always appreciated greatly.
