The "translation" of her reasoning for Teko was worse

Now that they have killed fansubbing they have no motiviation to put decent subs.

Also the translation of Amachu has been ass since ep 1, I just wish Asenshinreleased faster

>>144352764
Isn't CR using the same people that were doing fansubs before that?
That said, something like in OP shouldn't happen even with those people. That's ridiculously bad.

I love it when funi and crunchyroll shoot the shit with each other on 4chan. You see it in every ongoing thread

>>144353357
Cha was still retarded because if the wanted to loaclize they could have gone all the way and translate it as "Advisor Tea" like in the manga and it still would have been more accuratw than the bullshit we got

That really wasn't half as bad as mishearing 不審者. This is somebody dealing in a not so perfect way with a situation that's actually problematic from the point of view of translation. Mishearing 不審者 is being incapable of translating standard dialog.

The show is shit so the subs only match the quality.

>>144352764

If you bothered learning Japanese you'd start finding so many flaws in every episode of every anime, regardless of subgroup, that you wouldn't even bother complaining anymore.

Yes, but CR's Amanchu has been particularly crap

>>144354277

>>144356005

If a book had typos every chapter, then it'd be fixed and reprinted before being sold.
And this is a translation, meaning if there's something as elementary as spelling passing through the quality check (if any), then grammatical errors and mistranslations are bound to be there too.

So you don't actually know if there are actual issues with the subtitles. I'm assuming you know fuck all Japanese considering you can't tell and need to watch subs regardless of the amount of typos in them.

>>144354017
I've seen subs using furigana style TNs.

>_________(tea)

If you can do a better job, do it.

This isn't one of those "It's free so you have no right to complain" things either. I hate shitty fansubs and I know only the most elementary parts of the japanese language. It still bugs me when someone translates "ohayo" as "how are you?" or something equally retarded. All I'm saying is that if you actually have the capacity to do a better translation, then you should. It would be a great service to the fandom, and the hobby in general. We need better translators and editors working on this shit.

>>144356598

>The viewer shouldn't be expected to know how to say tea in Japanese.
Cha is pretty much English though since the Indian version Chai has entered modern vernacular

I've been hearing a lot about these "chai lattes" and wondering what heathen would mix tea and coffee. Or is a chai latte just tea with milk?

>>144357529
No more like
>Why did they translate "nande" as "what"?

>>144357529
I know this is a troll thread, but come on.

>>144357559
Latte means milk so yeah, that would be the logical conclusion.

>>144354017
Yes they are

>>144357559
>Or is a chai latte just tea with milk?
It's milk spiced with hot tea, yea. It's some good shit, you're missing out.

>>144357324
This, depending on context it's better to have the subs say the thing that would sound more natural in English.

>>144352764
muh autism

>>144357666
But why don't they just call it chai then? In India and surrounding countries chai already implies milk, sugar and in some regions some spices blended in. Chai latte is beyond redundant.

There are completely different words for black ea sans milk or green tea.

>>144357578
Or
>Why did they translate "nande omae ga koko ni?" as "What are you doing here?" instead of "Why are you here?"
Did they really have to change it?

why don't you fucking autists start translating yourself if you're such pros at it

>>144357824
Because most people don't know all of that shit.

>>144357718
>It's milk spiced with hot tea, yea. It's some good shit, you're missing out.
I am not missing anything, I live in the region and have grown up with the drink.

Just confuses me that Americans call it a chai latte when the word chai already implies milk and sugar. First I thought it was some kind of heathenish chai+cafe blend thing, but if you guys are just using it in the Italian "cafe latte" sense then it is just silly. There is nothing Italian about the drink.

What's next? Chai au lait?

>>144358045

>>144357857
Nothing wrong with those two translations. Trying to preserve the original grammar structure is the most retarded mistake a translator can make. Specially considering how completely incompatible English and Japanese grammar are. The translation process should go:

Japanese sentence -> Interpretation of meaning -> English sentence

With no attempt to preserve form.

No to say form shouldn't be a concern, but there's really no reason to try and make it as close to the original. In fact doing so usually results in the constant awkward English that plagues scanlations. Though that is also because of ESLs.

I don't think translations should be too literal but it seems that if it can be translated without being awkward you might as well leave it.

>>144358398
Not knowing Japanese shouldn't cause the English to sound weird, it should just make the translations inaccurate.

>>144358213
>Japanese sentence -> Interpretation of meaning -> English sentence
This, I think people that always call for ultra literal translations are unaware of how incompatible the two languages can be at times. It's truly an exercise in forcing a square peg into a round hole.

>>144358449
Sometimes picking the less literal one is more appropriate because of the context. For example, "What are you doing here?" sounds more loaded with emotion than "Why are you here?", so it might be a good idea to choose that one over this one for a very expressive character or to emphasize surprise. The first one also sounds more like the speaker is reproaching the person for being there, so depending on the context it might be more appropriate too. Sure, those are subjective impressions, but translation inevitably goes through subjective choices.

You know all this nostalgia about fansub era really doesnt mean much when we were all doing this exact same shit back then too. We would take the show that has 9 groups doing it and bitch about who did what and what did where and it was all a giant pile of shit. The only thing that time had going for it was that the translations werent done or owned by a company.

The truth is that while sometimes they make mistakes or over localize something they are still better than 4/5ths of the traditional sub groups that existed. Ive been around for 15 years or so so i remember the days of mass naked child events and grabbing hardcoded .avi files encoded a 640x480 xvid. Crunchy does a pretty decent job.

>>144357881
Because whenever anyone tried in the past few years they get people complaining they took their time with quality check instead of shitting out simulcasts with zero styling, shit encodes and awful mistranslations.

>>144358830
Technology evolving =! Sub quality

HS, gg (le sweet and sour)and commie were fucking awful (commie being the least bad), Hadena and that one that started with a N- were so bad it was probably only stupid ESL faggots who got their stuff. Of course people would complain about them doing a shitty job, that's not to say there weren't decent groups then as well, as opposed to now where it's CR or nothing.

Oh im not saying that there werent good groups. There were quite a few good groups that did some really nice releases. Its just on the scale of good to shit crunchy is pretty high up when you consider the whole picture. There were a lot of terrible groups. To get a release as good as crunchy more often than not would also take a good 2 or 3 days to get ironed out and released a while back also. Hell i remember sometimes waiting a week to watch a show from a group that wasnt shit.

And the whole mentioning of the old tech was mostly just pointing out that ive been watching fansubs from that long ago so ive seen my fair share.

I hated this shit so much. CR nowadays picks up so many niche anime that would have gotten downright ignored by fansubbers back in the day while they bandwagon for the flavor of the month.

>>144359355
CR doesn't have much competition and killed fansubbing with simulcasts, now we don't even have good groups to choose from since those have given up. Now CR gets to sub things however they want and very few people will know how wrong translations are, and this goes for all shows, as opposed to back then when a certain show would have shit subs but another one would be great.

The problem with the argument that their translations are bad is that most of the errors are so terribly minor they dont matter or are simply matters of opinion. They have had some somewhat large errors yes but i dont think ive ran into something that makes me angry. More often than not its people splitting hairs about them not adding honorifics or not translating a reference fully.

For the record i always found translation notes to be annoying as hell. I dont need some asshat throwing a bunch of text on screen to tell me that neko means cat.

I assume google is pumping more money into English <=> Chinese translation than Japanese.

Either that or someone has been fucking around with that "Suggest an edit" button on the Japanese translation.

>>144360019

The only reasonable translation notes are the ones that are separate from the source. If you absolutely have to throw them in put them at the end of the show or the last pages of the manga chapter/volume. Blasting a wall of text onscreen for something that isnt even a gag or a real joke is just a distracting mess.

>>144359716
They're being overused in the anime honestly. Amano usually only uses them from a distance.

>>144359945
Exactly what the other anon said. TL Notes were never a problem in good groups, but faggots kept whining about them explaining the joke or the context of a story or what historical figure they were referencing. And your case never happened, unless it was by faggot fuckers gg or some equally cancerous group.
Not anyone's fault if you don't like a small note at the bottom. Same with TL Notes in manga. People always complain they put kg into pounds in a very small note on the side of the page, because of course you're forced to read it even if you know kg/pounds and fuck anyone that tries to make something available for the public without sacrificing the source content.

A good example is TL note for a teruterubozu. It's not needed, but there's nothing wrong with adding a small note explaining what it is. Way better than changing their entire sentence to "accommodate" something.

>>144360313
>Blasting a wall of text onscreen

Is not what I'm talking about, faggot. This is exactly the shit I mean with you memeing it to death with hyperbole. Every translation note is a wall of text that requires you to pause the vieo to even have time to read it. They're all books and they're all intro Japanese classes. They're all written by people who just want to show off their basic knowledge. ANd every other shitpost under the sun. Fuck you.

>>144352764
CR gets a lot of their translations from the production company themselves. And they suck at engrish. Too bad CR doesn't really give a shit and clean them up since most of their audience can't into moonrunes anyway.

>>144360143
>>144360295
Chinese is also much closer grammatically to English than Japanese is to English (less reliant on context) so autotranslations get fucked less.

>>144360487

If you have watched anime for longer than a month and dont know what a bozu is you might as well just give up. I enjoy a more literal translation but in the end id rather have them change something TOTALLY INSIGNIFICANT into something that makes more sense without a cultural reference note plastered onscreen. If you want your notes they can be slammed at the end of the episode where they belong.

>>144360523
I dont like notes and i dont care if you dont like that i dont like notes so you can go suck a dick.

>>144355290
I'm opposed to CR on principle but I have to admit that CR actually does a better job on Amanchu than Asenshi. Part of the show's comedy and appeal is based on its characters who speak in accents or peculiarly, like Pikari and her grandmother. CR's script captures the grandma's country accent and Pikari's sometimes-formal, sometimes-silly manner of speech. Asenshi's just smoothes it all over with the exact same bland standard English. Asenshi's script takes the humour and liveliness from the show, making it overall a more boring experience than it should be.

The Teko and Pikari jokes are all basically impossible to translate so it makes sense that neither CR nor Asenshi did a perfect job. They tried, I'll give them credit for that, although Asenshi, in not trying overly hard like CR does, indubitably does the better job.

Yet I fucking abhor this mess of a language because of the atrocious tones and a thousand different dialects. The tones are the reason why why after living in China for two years I still can't hold much of a basic conversation beyond a few phrases.

While when I got off the plane in Japan despite the vastly different grammar style I could get away with just basic vocab and sentence structures and have prolonged conversations with people with not much issue, unless a some vocab I didn't know popped up.

With Chinese I'm butchering 3/4 of the tones and most people can't understand what I'm saying. Also anyone over the age of 22 has atrocious putonghua and speaks the local dialect which sounds like an alien language to me and is largely incomprehensible.

You can't slam tl notes at the end of an episode. It's funny you complain about one line being a wall of text but advocate for getting all of them and posting them as an actual wall of text at the end after the fucking ED or during it.

Because it's too hard to read a small note but people will be open to reading an entire screen's worth of notes on things after the episode is done, sure.

There isn't any alternative nowadays, anon. 99% of the sub groups that still exist only take CR's shitsubs and put fancy typesetting on top of it, and they take more than a week to do that.
And the funniest thing is that normal people pay for this catastrophe, and since they don't know any better they believe that CR's subs are correct. You should have noticed how many people here on /a/ often talk about mistranslations in an episode as if it was right.
On the bright side, at least nothing has reached the level of Funi's Nourin subs yet.

You can do it anon. I believe in you so please believe in me too, I'm trying but it's too much.
Use VNs or untranslated nip phone games to help you. im@s helps me understand most basic characters in hiragana/katakana and I can read around 30-40% of a sentence. Enough anime watching will help you understand common phrases and words.

Do it for your waifu.

>>144361629
>Enough anime watching will help you understand common phrases and words.
I try to pay attention to that too, actually listening to what's being said and I notice that it helps.

Hardest part I find is all the different meanings words can have and pinpointing the context of a sentence sometimes seems impossible.
At least I've gotten the kana down so easily, I definitely shouldn't give up.
I'll try my best, so you do too!

>>144361160
I usually just wait for BD packs desu, since I know even the best groups make obvious mistakes and I'd rather not download updates I'll never watch. Only exception is DBS because of the episode spam, and I usually just download a couple episodes from current shows to see if I like them.

The norm just clearly aren't elitist about translations and won't be able to notice them and it's clear that it's speed over quality. You can always wait 2 days longer or a week longer if you want better subs but not too many people are willing to wait that long. You can just check the Macross thread and people are already throwing a fit for just a day's delay from a fansub group.

I disagree. Normie has a childish tone to it like a grade school insult that the kid with the least intelligence but the most anger likes to throw around. Normalfag sounds like something a college dudebro would use. I don't use either term very often but when the need arises I would use normalfag over normie.

>>144363911

The point in this case is to pair it with -subs. Normalfagsubs has too many syllables and looks like you stuck them together with some duct tape; like some kind of shitty German word. Normiesubs is streamlined, easy to picture, and flows like nectar. This has nothing to do with whatever emotions you have tagged on to the root words, this is about creating a compound word that isn't a mess.

>>144352764

>>144364330
Why not use normalfag translations? Is it just less typing because that seems kind of lazy.

Anime is the next ''xD brah im such a nerd lol''

Translator in the industry here, have been subbing for one of the big companies for 3+ years on top of other freelance work.

After talking with other translators at conventions, can confirm that Crunchy pays some of the lowest per episode. One Crunchy TL got paid around $80 per episode. The average I've seen from other big-name companies is upwards of $2-300 per episode, and more if there are idol songs or shit in them.

Crunchy probably hires bottom-of-the-barrel JP-EN TLs who aren't good enough to pass the translation tests from other companies.

From what I've seen, the stuff on Netflix and Hulu tends to be a bit better because they work for Funi/other companies directly, and not Crunchy.

This might interest you guys.

>From what I've seen, the stuff on Netflix and Hulu tends to be a bit better because they work for Funi/other companies directly, and not Crunchy.
Funi's simulsubs are much worse than CR's on average, though they thankfully tend to redo them for home releases and later distributions.

>>144367574
Funi is even worse than CR though for subs and also everything else
go away shill

Crunchyroll's subs are probably the best you're going to get with the speed they give you.

CR is the worst at characterization of character's lines. If you think they're doing a good job, that's because they're fucking around with every line so much that they can fool you. Simulcasts in general have no sense of how to make consistent and interesting scripts.
