Message: [QUOTE="qw90700, post: 351149, member: 660650"] It depends on your country really. I mean for example my country always had serious dedication for translating animes and mangas without any care of their popularity as so many people have a mission to translate and preserve them. Often when people complain how X anime and manga has no English translation I check them in my country and they have translations for my native language. It also means most of "can't find" animes and mangas in English community is easy to find in the pirate community of my country. Relatively "dedication" of English community is nowhere near the dedication of my country. Here people find the Japanese material to actively translate them and they always did even before Google Translate and whatnot existed. However our advantage is my native language is very similar to Japanese so it makes learning and translating easier, but the language is too different compared to English which is part of why translations between Japanese to English would have lack of willingness since how hard it would be to even comprehend Japanese for them. In that regard for us learning Japanese is "easy thing" so even some random high school kid does and start translating animes and mangas after a year of Japanese learning but I don't imagine an English speaking high school kid can do that easily, it won't be like learning Spanish for them lol. Since it would be bothersome for them to even translate they wouldn't be willing to translate not so popular animes and mangas. And then there is a thing about how tons of gag anime and mangas are so tied to Japanese culture to even make sense translations. For example they will reference very famous people and English speaker may don't even get what the reference talks about or how to even translate that so they will likely to not even bother translations. Here we translate these by replacing our own popular people instead. But then Japanese have tons of way of using their language that makes translations rocket science and it causes a big problem when target language for translation is too different. [/QUOTE]
