fr tho i do not envy the aai localization team at all . like seeing some of the unironic vitriol for the new names is so 😭 like no one is making you call them eustace or eddie if you don't like it!! but there is a myriad of reasons why the new names were chosen (some of which we can't fully judge until the games are out), and it's fine if you prefer the fan translation/names, but the way some people have been talking about it reminds me of the recent discourse around translation/localization, and i can't help but feel that this is feeding into it somewhat.....

#not meant to be a vague post or anything like that just. thoughts #as a bilingual who has been doing 'informal' translating between 3ish languages my entire life #it also sounded like some ppl were under the impression that they would use the names from the fan translation which ?????#ppl pulling up screenshots of in-game puns like 'they will never be able to top this' i mean. maybe not but it's their job to try lmfao #like im SURE the team knew abt the fan translation too 😭 idk. not looking forward to the discourse getting worse #ace attorney #L.txt
