#bad translation

[saltyclass]

Just found the german (my first language) translation of Hamilton on Spotify. My first impression was that it's well translated but the choice of words are odd.

Then I got to "Die Schuyler Schwestern" (Schuyler Sisters) and ran into this line:

Literal translation: "You're a babe, I would drink your bathwater."

This line is a replacement for the line "I'm a trust fund, Baby, you can trust me"

Now I can see why it was so unsuccessful.

Interesting combination… I might try it…

Who was gonna tell me that the Finnish word "yläkoulu" is infact NOT the same as the English "high school" even tho they have the exact same two words but instead is a word for the last 3 years of middle school so instead of me being in high school as I thought I was i was infact still IN MIDDLE SCHOOL

Oh yeah and the word for high school is "yliopisto" or "over education"

So I was on tiktok shop last night, and I found this gem

My boyfriend and I now call the progress pride flag, the Daniel Quasar flag

[yeah-thats-probably-it]

I started an episode of DS9 and had the German audio turned on accidentally so I decided to listen for a bit and whoever translated this show put NO effort into determining the correct duzen/siezen distribution

IT’S SEASON 5 NONE OF THESE PEOPLE ARE FUCKING CALLING EACH OTHER SIE ANYMORE THEY’VE ALMOST DIED TOGETHER LIKE 500 TIMES

I had to check in another episode for this but Sisko and Jadzia siezen each other and I swear to god I’m just going to *LOUDEST INCORRECT BUZZER NOISE OF ALL TIME* WRONG WRONG WRONG she is LITERALLY like a father to him do you think he was calling her ass Sie when she was Curzon and they were out drinking together? NO and he’s not going to start now!!!

Odo and Quark do NOT call each other Sie they have NEVER called each other Sie and you WILL not convince me otherwise (however I would believe the Ferengi language has a complicated system of formality levels based on the relative wealth of each party and whether they’re actively negotiating a business deal at that moment. But Quark would not use the formal pronouns with Odo because their relationship evolves from open mutual contempt to grudging friendship and that’s the point)

Translated some life series quotes with a bad translator (hypertranslate)

Do me a favour, die for me. - Do me a favor and let me die.

Tilly death do us part - until death do us part

That hole changed you! - This hole will change you!

If you're gonna be an absent father, could you be at least absent? - If you're an absent father, isn't he gone at least?

This is why I'm gay. - That's why I'm gay.

What's three minus ten? ... Seventeen! - 3 minus 10 is... 17!

I'm confessing my love! We're married now. No, for poppies, I mean. No, for me. - I admit my love! We are married now. No, I mean there are poppies. No, for me.

Last DR Post cont'd: JP EDITION

A little more to talk about, as well, that is seperate. BARE IN MIND that the translations aren't done by Toby themselves, HOWEVER Fangamer have direct input on the game. ALSO, I don't speak fluent Japanese at all. So I'm using DeepL in order to translate the pages and content.

For anybody in denial about Chapter 3's locale...

And Mike's role as "not the TV..."

So, that's my closing bracket. Not much else to bring up, but there's a lot of small things.

Black glyphs on a white background. On the left, arrows point up and down above a rectangle containing three stick-mans. On the right, a tapered "u" shape contains four squares.

Meaning: "Add three mans and shake vigorously. Pour the result over ice to serve."

Discotek's Tales of Symphonia The Animation Blu-Ray is Rather...

So in preparation for next month's Colloyd Week, I rewatched the Tales of Symphonia OVAs to catalogue ideas/references. As it happens, it's been well over a decade since I last saw it, and what better way to celebrate my original OTP by finally fishing out that Discotek Blu-Ray I've had lying around?

And folks, now that the two worlds've been reunited and my original OTP's riding off into the sunset, I gotta ask...

Holy cow, did they have any budget on this thing or what?!

No, seriously, what happened here? The translated script's all well and good, but, come on: the absent omakes? The garish yellow subtitles? The untranslated credits? The mistranslated names?! Really, I'm convinced they had some half-complete style guide because while "Raine", "Genis", and Colette's angel symptoms are left intact, we're left to juggle the following silliness:

"Barraclough Temple" (Balacruf Mausoleum)

"Rewin" (Luin)

"Ascard" (Asgard)

"Haimah" (Hima)

"Techbirds" (Rheairds)

"Gaorakia Forest" (Gaoracchia Forest)

"Artesta" (Altessa)

"Cybac" (Sybak)

"Taiga" ("Tiga")

"Kuciak" (Kuchinawa -- HOW DO YOU MESS THIS UP THIS IS PLAIN JAPANESE)

"Trent Forest" (Torent Forest)

Now, us eagle-eyed Tales of Symphonia fans might pick up how a couple of these are indeed the original Japanese names (for instance, I can buy Ascard slipping through since it's on the opening map), but while localization discrepancies across multimedia are hardly anything new (VIZ Media's Dragon Ball/One Piece manga releases being prime examples), some of these display a shocking lack of professionalism -- you hear Sheena pronouncing "Kuchinawa" plain as day and "Techbirds" is the Tales of Phantasia name for the Rheairds! How did these happen?!

Look, I get it: licensing anime's expensive and sometimes things fall through -- these releases were mighty pricy over in Japan and if excising the bonuses meant an affordable $40 set, so be it -- but sheesh, if you're gonna treat us to a barebones release, at least show some care and consistency in the actual main course. This is a fan's-first work, after all -- us Tales of Symphonia faithful have been through the wringer with those dreadful remasters alone, and we'll take whatever respite we can get.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off for a retreat into the Trent Forest. Full of Trents, I imagine. Maybe they'll help me write my fic

(The actual OVA itself? Again, a fan's-first product -- I can't say it's especially welcoming to newcomers with how a 40+ hour game's divided into 11 half-hour episode, but hey, could be way worse. The animation and overall look's gorgeous, Almateria's a hauntingly beautiful opening, the cast chemistry is genuinely endearing, the drama and messaging land as well as ever (I felt emotions on that last episode), and that sickingly-sweet Colloyd goodness drowns you in mushy, soppy fluff -- like being cuddled by ten Noishes at once. Mmm.)

Poor Gaon… this is unfortunate…

Okay guys so… you know how Gaon’s username on FANS at the moment translates to “I’m just Gaon”? (나는 그냥 가온)

Well… as you do, I got curious and put it through Google Translate as one word like it is for his user (나는그냥가온) to see if it would still translate it correctly (especially considering Gaon is obviously his stage name so won’t translate easily), and THIS was what it came back with…

This is just too funny to me oml 😭😭

like could you imagine someone who has no understanding of Korean putting that through google translate and it coming back with that? 👹👹
