bilingual writer/translator gripe:
why, when i have to translate a character saying 「へー」 from someone else's japanese language source text, do i find it easy enough to do
but when in my head a character that i am writing in english reacts like 「へー」 i cannot think of a more fitting english option??
#hate when im writing in english and my brain pitches japanese dialogue that perfectly fits the situation#like fuck i cant think of what to actually write in english cus the japanese is so much more fitting but it uses a term#with a term thats hard to translate anyway guh#kath shouts into the void
