Bruh who is translating this occasionally I run into translations where it seems like it was translated by a person who thinks they know what a person from England talks like but doesn’t actually. You can’t tell me an English person is translating this cuz there’s just no way nobody talks like this irl

    I translated it actually. I have been to England only once in my life and have no idea what English people sound like and the criticism I get from actual English people on these translations ranges from “the fakest nonsense ever, no one has ever talked like this” to “extremely authentic, sounds straight from Hackney, I was really surprised to learn you weren't actually born and raised in London”

    Damn I clicked post before finishing what I wanted to type. Anyway, good work. If these projects help you learn, imo you should continue. Don't let some criticism from pirated website get you down

    Don't really care. I'm not English and started doing this knowing full well it wasn't going to sound authentic. Japanese lines sound extremely stereotypical and cartoonish and like no actual Japanese person ever speaks anyway to begin with.

    Interesting choice. Your written English here seems completely fluent so I am a little confused by the choice in how you translate. To each their own I guess

    Well, I don't speak in working class London English myself, though I'm not a native speaker of English to begin with.
    The reason for it is that many of the Japanese characters are speaking in fairly working class, rough city Japanese or stereotypical teenage speak and I was searching for something to translate that to. It was either working class London English or Boston English which I'm even worse at and since it's often very stereotypical Tokyo working class dialect which is the capital, I felt that using London working class dialect was fitting since it's the capital as well. I tend to translate it to standard English when they're speaking standard Japanese, which they mostly do in this title anyway because it's an office setting, they only start to speak in rough language when they're angry.
