#and if a sub group translated smth here and there a bit odd then at least for me i get to have some fun thinking and pondering

Hot take for the night that I'm locking to my blog unless I'm feeling silly: even if a sub group is mistranslating or doing something different, I think it's still valuable to be able to analyze and read it on some level. Not that we should be okay with mistranslations or just simply accept them cause "we have no other option" but just to become more familiar with this other language and be able to pick up the sense that something is wrong and could be addressed or see how if this translation was accurate, how that can affect the narrative and text. You can say that a mistranslation is bad and that it's ruining the story but I think it'd be cool if you also went a step further and actually discussed it more than just "it's wrong and therefore it's bad"
