>>15661662I'm impressed by your dedication to dekinai after finding her to the point you feel comfortable enough translating stuff. I'm a bit over a year and a half into doing my reps but I put such minimal effort into it, I still can't formulate any useful sentences because I've been slacking on grammar reps. I don't expect to feel comfortable with translations for another 3-4 years at my pace, if at all. Though my motivation is irritating localization in games and other media, with Atelier Rorona pushing me over the edge after 15 minutes. Reading is my biggest goal, with being able to go to nipland without help being secondary. I have been going through the DQ games in nip as practice recently, currently on 4.
I am more in favour of how you see translating/localizing, but I also understand why professional level stuff gets overlocalized to hell. The companies want more accessible localizations, as DesP pointed out with much of the localization garbage being decided before he got contracted work from them. Though that could also just be the usual fuckos getting in first and making those decisions, it's all the more reason people should do their dekinai reps or forever be stuck with meme garbage. And those of us that care will, but the masses will just eat it up and praise the garbage. I remember reading people loving the localization of Hologra, which on my end caused me to outright disable the subs because I could not stand it.
Did you do /djt/ style learning, or did you supplement with courses at your local college as well?
Not sure I'd call myself a sukonbu but I do enjoy all of Gamers, and really enjoyed fbk's Oranatsu and koiking streams for comfy background noise, and of course her other streams too. Good luck on your future localization endeavors.
>>15661796She doesn't get it for a while yet. Supposedly expects it this month, but Okayu, who ordered hers around the same time, has said February. It could go either way.
