Message: [QUOTE="Strategist, post: 6908, member: 767"] I think a lot of bilingual speakers are seen as smug by the monolingual folk because we are more used to liberties being taken in localization and don't see it as a crime punishable by death. For example, as a kid I used to watch the Simpsons in Spanish and the dub took dramatic liberties with all of the jokes. And it made perfect sense as a lot of the references being used in the American version would make no sense to a Latin American audience. When I see some of these threads trying to dunk on game translations for not being 1 for 1 literal translations, I go "eh, really? Why get worked up about this? There are real problems in the world". As long as it is quality English and communicates the same ideas, it is a valid translation in my estimation. [/QUOTE]
