Posts: 871 Group: Kunoichi Honorary member Member #456 Joined: November 19, 2004	Okay guys, me as a student who has to translate texts of very different topics, can say it's not bad translating. A translator has to translate a text in a way to make it 'sound' idiomatic. Which means that the texts have to sound as if they were written in English for example. And because of that they do not use 'brother' everytime Kasumi says it. It wouldn't sound right. No English man or woman would say:"Hey Dylan brother where are you?" Same in French.Nobody says: "Christine soeur ou est-tu??" So after all it is not bad translating. It's just translated to sound familiar.

So even though they're saying the same things, the vibe they give off when they say it is different. That's what I think they were emphasizing there. I still don't know why Hitomi says onegai shimasu before a match on DoA2U, though. :p

So, she uses the japanese word for like 'please,let's fight',just to find out about her power. But nobody really uses it in the everyday language (i guess), perhaps they should have translated it like 'Thanks for the (the possibility to) fight'. My opinion.

Posts: 181 Group: Kunoichi Honorary member Member #515 Joined: December 18, 2004	Yes, I agree. I don't mean that it's bad or anything. This is a common debate among anime fans. When you watch fansubs they keep name suffexes in the subtitle track and everyone knows what it means. But in this case Tecmo is expecting to to sell this game to average gamers who don't understand or care about the cultural differences. I'm just glad that the Japanese language was kept. Thaks Tecmo.

Master of Ribbon-Twirling. Fear Me. Posts: 871 Group: Kunoichi Honorary member Member #456 Joined: November 19, 2004	You're right. But I liked the English voices in DOA2 Hardcore though. But could you imagine Helena speaking French??? Or Christie using the sophisticated (no offence) British English?? Well, I guess it wouldn't be the right way to handle it. So, Japanese voices are fine, but English voices wouldn't be that bad. Remember English is a world language, who almost everybody can understand.

It says "I stand prepared to meet you in battle." :p And it's rare when a Japanese game has good voice acting if the game has both spoken languages in it.

Posts: 4,967 Group: Kunoichi Honorary member Member #370 Joined: October 19, 2004	Yeah, close enough. No offense to Japanese natives or anything, but I think it sounds stupid to just say 'please' when you're about to fight. But, as you said, maybe there's more to it. I wanna see what Doatek has to say about it.
