Message: [QUOTE="Moth_Lobster, post: 114992, member: 291685"] Also just to make something stated after reading the thread, some people here are acting like the overwhelming majority of localizations are bad, if not irredeemable. But the truth is the overwhelming majority of localizations nowadays are good! Debatably even great! Definitely better than they were 20 years ago! Yes, we have a handful of examples that are debatable, bad or even just completely inexcusable, but think about how many Japanese tv shows, anime, manga, videogames and so on come out in English now. Think of how many anime get subbed on crunchyroll per season. Think of how many videogames, AAA or low budget, get released. Out of those, how many do you think have awful translations? a Handful a year, maybe? Then think about Korean media, now Chinese, now Polish, and keep thinking just how often we get foreign media localized in English these days vs how much of that foreign stuff is localized poorly. I don't want to defend a bad localization job, but if the majority of localizations are acceptable, we really shouldn't punish localizers as a whole just because some people do an awful job.
