#so translation won't Kill the characters or atmosphere or setting
Text
Have you ever read a translation being prior familiar with original and just wanted to throw hands.
#> tired shitpost#im going to say it okay#i KNOW translation is a fucking hard job to do#but Listen my nit pickiness is NOT about how 'accurate' it even is to the text sometime#ACTUALLY I prefer that translation was sound and clean and was harmonic and natural to the language you are translating to#so translation won't Kill the characters or atmosphere or setting#sometimes giving up the accurate translation in favor of 'good flow' IS BETTER#but also like#some mistakes are plain STUPID because of the translator's poor understanding of events told#in the case of what im talking about#the character said 'had all floor to himself'#using 'floor' as the lower surface of a room on which people walk#BUT translator FOR SOME FUCKING REASON interpreted it as in the synonym to 'storey' aka all the rooms on the same level in the building#and the dialog made absolutely ZERO sense#also in places the translation im ranting about just seemed PURELY MECHANICAL AND TOO LITERATE#like Brother In Stardust what are you fucking doing#people don't talk like that in this language#in english? sure#not in russian they fucking don't#bottom line they need some better translator or a redactor who will fucking keep all this shit under a radar
