Why do some translators consistently put their regional dialects into their translations? It's like a bunch of shitty American tourists invade the scarlet mansion and rape the lovely mistress. After that, they would be loud and obnoxious, making it clear to all passerbys that they are trying to find the local McDonald's.

That's because lazy shit fags like you insist on reading translations.
You made yourself dependent on others. You create a "demand" for these shitty translators. You have only yourself to blame.

Thanks for your work, translators.

It's how I justify learning Japanese to people who are less accepting of video games/anime/porn games

>> No.7062332

>>7062313
I find it ridiculous. Knowing how much time and effort it takes to really learn a language, I would never try to learn one just because a lot of people speak it in a part of the world I have no interest in visiting, or because it would look good on my CV. Some people may find these justifications more reasonable, but they're hardly inspiring, they won't motivate you to study every day for many years until you speak the language at an acceptable level.

>Japanese is actually pretty easy to learn.
No, it's not. All studies into the difficulty of learning different languages for English speakers have concluded that Japanese is among the hardest. If you had an easy time learning it, just brag about it directly, instead of coyly waiting for someone to say that they find it hard so you can reply "oh really? I learned it in just a few months~". People like you disgust me.

I thought this was a given. No language is impossible to learn, anyone can learn one as long as they don't have a mental handicap and there's enough teaching material for it. So the only factor is how long it will take you.

>> No.7062371

Kana should take you an hour, if that. Just go to smart.fm or something and run with the exercises a couple of times (although really you shouldn't need a crutch like that. After you've got your kana down, just focus on learning 5 or so kanji a day along with grammar and you're done before the season changes. And that's at max.

>> No.7062373

>>7062355
...yes it is. Learning a language is so easy even a kid in their single digits can do it. All you need to do is immerse yourself in the language.

Maybe more people give up Japanese than any other language, but that has more to do with a bunch of retarded otaku trying to pick it up. For people who actually intend to follow through, it's no more difficult than any other language. (You need to learn the new script, but that doesn't make the language learning process harder, just longer)

When talking about difficulty in learning something, it's usually about how long it takes to learn it, because nearly no knowledge in this world is so hard to grasp that a mentally healthy person can't learn it if given enough time. The thing about Japanese is that there's a shitload of information to take in, and if you only speak western languages, there's very little you can relate to your existing language knowledge, everything has to be done from scratch.

Also, you seem to be forgetting that even after graduating high school, natives won't necessarily know enough kanji to read a novel, since the high school syllabus only covers 2000 kanji, while many novels go up to 3000 kanji.

Actually, I'm an American and it bothers me to read translations done in non-American English. I was reading the Hong Kong (I think) translation of Devilman and it irked me seeing "kerb" in the text.
