how would you translate the double congratulations at the top?

>>3562017
I'd omit one of them due to redundancy.

>>3562017
"Omedetougozaimasu!
Congratulations!"

If the original is westaboo then you can be weeaboo.

Translate the Congratulations as Omedetôgozaimasu.

I considered this but didn't think it would make sense the way that it does in Japanese. Like, it's normal for them to hear English because it's cool, but aside from something like 'katana' or 'sushi' it's not so normal to hear Japanese stuff in an English thing.

>>3562017
Just translate it to Italian: "congratulazioni"

Sort of like how in Sonic Adventure 2 they translated "Adios" to "Sayonara" but less stupid and random.

Omedetou.
It will please every Evangelion fan.

>>3562017
Either omit it, or translate the second one to Well Done!

>>3562104
Seconding this. It'd also be more in-character for mario.

>>3562017
Something like "Congratulations! You made it!" maybe? what does the sence say, btw? (I dunno any jav)

>>3562398

MDB-678 is my latest favorite.

I shouldn't have searched for that. It only lead to members of the German parliament.

>>3562398
Congratulations. All problems/questions on level 1 have been cleared.

>>3562017
Oh my god, the fact that you even have to ask means you're autistic. It doesn't matter.

>>3562440
not OP speaking: Man, I've seen so many bad localizations. Asking for ideas on translation problems really isn't a shame.

>>3562445
No, but this particular case is so trivial that it is in fact very shameful. If this guy is having a hiccup over whether he should translate redundant phrases or not, he shouldn't be doing it. This guy is one step away from putting keikaku translator notes.

You're a fucking idiot, fan-translators have come across the same situation before and talked about it openly, nothing wrong with that in the least.

Quit projecting your own autism onto others and kill yourself my man.

>>3562507
No, you kill yourself and take your own life.

Is this part of the campaign to drive translations out of /vr/?

>>3562530
OP here, I think it's just one bored guy actually.

It's an interesting idea to translate it with Italian equivalent, I like that as it makes a good twist on the original message/intent for the English speaking audience. However, I just don't know if I could see Nintendo proper translating it and putting Italian words in there, even if they are pretty implied as to their meaning. They do like 'mamma mia' and stuff but not much more beyond that and Italian food words. That's why I think "Congratulations! Well done." is probably how they'd do it.

I dunno, it's interesting to postulate on how translations should be done. It helps you to see different sides of the problem which can help with developing a personal style, among other things. Even if it is a minor thing like this screen text.

Congratulations
You've done very well/a nice job or some shit like that

You'd probably have to cut one of the congratulations just to fit the English translation in the text box.

I wouldn't bother translating it at all because nobody plays Mario for the story in the first place.

>oh god oh god he's right nobody cares about a turtlephobic plumber
>Y-YOU'RE MOM!

>>3562530
I don't know and I'm uncertain.

>>3562953
You might be right about that, I'm rather clueless on SNES text insertions though.

>>3562916
My dad is a translator for Nintendo he said they would translate it as "Double Conglatulation!"

So there you go.

>congratulations in english and japanese
You translate it as rōmaji Japanese at the top and Congratulations underneath, to match the Japanese version having English at the top and Japanese underneath.

Fucking duh.

>>3563056
>maximum damage control
Perfect description of your post monolinguallad. Point to the place on the doll where the nasty plumber touched you.

>>3564296
Oh sure, because English speakers are so used to seeing some huge OMEDETOUGOZAIMASU in their everyday lives, right? It's not like English has fucking invaded Japanese and is widely used as the "cool language" over there, right?

Going for the italian Congratulations is a nice solution, but I dont think I ever heard Mario say it. What about spanish (maybe also in italian) BRAVO? Gets the different language message and is extensivley used in English.

I would cut everything out except "Congratulations!", and I would make it spell that out one character at a time, v...e...r...y ... s...l...o...w...l...y.

>>3565803
...I was joking? Pointing out how ridiculous it is to say the same thing in two languages in the JP version? Hello?

The real way to translate it, seriously, is just to say "Congratulations", in English, once. End of discussion.

Put Mama Mia. Expresses the emphasis of saying it twice with something Mario would say anyway. Shoehorning another language in just because the Japanese does it is not something I see in a lot of professional localizations.

>>3565839
If you only put Congratulations you're omitting some meaning without reason.

>>3565803
>What about spanish (maybe also in italian) BRAVO? Gets the different language message and is extensivley used in English.
Only correct solution. Foreign word without sounding weird, same as the original.

>>3562017
>Congratulations!
>Very nice.

>>3562017
What game?

>>3567778
Mario's Super Picross

>>3562020
This. You might need the extra space anyway.

No need, Mario is obviously not Japanese so it kinda makes sense for them but not us. Omit the redundancy
