So, apparently Ian Flynn's writing in Sonic Frontiers was so powerful that the English - Japanese translators at Sega JP couldn't really handle it because it was like nothing they'd translated before and as a result the game sounds google translated in Japanese.
*amazing*

Wonder Egg Priority was sooo close to having a point. Then they made it about robot girl incest pedophilia matricide.

For the record, I don't think this will ruin the game for the JP fanbase. Japanese fans are KNOWN for putting out translation patches in record time in cases like these.
#Persona4Revival
So, "Revival" is what television reruns are called in Japan (it's an anglicism).
But it's also a term in C.G.Jung's writings.
So this is pretty dang smart.

I FEEL SO SORRY FOR THE TRANSLATORS, THEY PROBABLY DIDN'T EXPECT THE WRITER TO GO THIS HARD AND THEN HAD NO TIME TO DO IT RIGHT LOL

Nick: "A-A-ARGH! MAYA, HOW DO I TURN THIS OFF?"
Maya: "Aww, why would you? It's amazing!"
Nick: (Not for my credibility, it's not!)
Just so you guys know, it's not just us.
The Japanese fandom's general vibe is also "F****CK APPLE ARCADE" right now-
No idea where this is from,but the photo claims that official compile material says that Puyo are mammals that reproduce sexually and have up to 150 young per brood.

NOOO! That is incredibly untrue, NEVER say that!
As a translator, reading stuff like this hurts me!!
Please, please, please never say stuff like that!
The tweet says "Pop already"

I am so proud of how this hat turned out! Handmade for my #AHatInTime cosplay. Went for the ★ Hat Flair, because I love the ribbon.

Firstly: Localization is not a different thing from translation. Localization is an ASPECT of translation, and a necessary aspect at that!

The entire Frill plot should never have happened. It destroyed everything in 1 second flat, and the show got just worse from minute to minute after that.
As short explanation as to why Puyotwt is currently full of drawings of Arle as a fox girl:
Remember that cup noodle commercial with Sephiroth that was making the rounds a while back? Well, that company's new videogame collab is with Puyo.
There's official art even.
Amazing.

Languages are heavily rooted in the cultures they come from and thus it is almost impossible to translate a text from one language into another without trying to change cultural context to maintain the original meaning of the dialogue. THAT'S what localization is.
Sega released an official guide to programming your own Puyo game in JavaScript, and my copy just arrived in the mail!
Given how similar GML is to JavaScript, I wonder if this could be used with Game Maker...?
Sega is making animated Puyo shorts aimed at a preschool crowd on YouTube kids. The protagonists are siblings, Aline (older sister) and Ralph (younger brother) who go to a Kindergarten implied to be in Primp. The first short has Suketoudara teach them about sharing.

"Literal" translation is something people just say, but from an academic and practical standpoint, it simply does not exist. Languages are not like file formats, where you just change some encoding and everything displays exactly the same.

bro i'm worried about you, your leitmotif is interwoven with that of the antagonist

What happened with Japanese Sonic Frontiers is actually a case where the translators did not localize *enough*. They maintained English sentence structures in Japanese and as a result Sonic and Amy sound like they ate a Japanese grammar textbook for breakfast.
Replying to
When you translate you ALWAYS have to make creative choices, and those creative choices will determine, how well what the original text conveyed arrives at the new audience. If you try to *not* localize, you WILL fail at this goal, because localization is NECESSARY to convey.
SHE'S ALLOWED TO CALL HER "AMI" IN ENGLISH YES GOOD.
Japanese article by a Japanese person about how nonbinary characters can be linguistically identified in English works such as Undertale and Deltarune, how it differs from Japanese and why it matters <3

In terms of lore, this should probably be a train, but, eh-

I have since been informed that Director Morio Kishimoto himself did a lot of the localization work, which is commendable for a creative, but also DUDE THIS IS NOT YOUR FIELD OF EXPERTISE, GET A PROFESSIONAL'S HEEEELP-
