Discovering there were so many translation errors really shocked me

Before my usual wall of text, I’ll summarize : this version has REAL dialogues and it makes a BIG difference, okay ? And now here comes the TL;DR part ;)

The chapters 2-3-4 of Welcome To Tokoharusou had been translated from Japanese to Spanish, and then from Spanish to English. The problem is that a whole lot of sense had been lost in these two steps. I thought this was just minor misunderstandings, but it proved to cause massive differences and errors.
Fortunately, the good translator Fuke decided to re-translate these chapters, in order to bring us a real good version, thank you very much Fuke ! :)

The chapter 1 hasn’t been changed since it had been properly done, by Ryuu No Tamashii. I insist, the errors were shocking. I feel embarrassed I didn’t suspect it was erroneous to that point : cf Fuke’s examples on his blog, and I suggest you read the comments, I don’t agree with everything, but Fuke’s making verrrrry good points. If good translations are important for you, there’s also this re-commissioning idea :)
So, now, at last, Welcome To Tokoharusou makes sense ! Errr… OK, it makes more sense than before, this is still a manga by Gunma Kisaragi ;)

I share much more stuff by this genius, Cf
My almost updated list of all his works
And my Gunma Kisaragi TOTAL PACK !

    …You know, I liked my comment on Fakku so much, I'll put it here for a repost.

    Honestly? I like this story's art, but the story and characters just aren't doing it for me. The lead guy's thoughts are nestled too far into his genitals to root for, the female lead's so brainless I feel insulted that the author wants me to find her the most attractive girl present, and the new chick's a freaking elementary-schooler. Something's wrong when the stereotypical androphobic "tsundere" is the best of the lot.

    And the art's good, but while some authors only have six faces in them, Gunma's only really got one. Maybe two, if you count changing the eyes. Seriously, click on his name up there and show me two other works in which girls that could be these's twins don't appear.

    Why am I still reading then? Well, the art's excellent, even if the character designs are repetitive they're well-drawn in the actual act, and the story's not the WORST thing Gunma's ever done, but I find this chapter symptomatic of the whole work, and, by extension, the whole body of Gunma's work: incredibly well-drawn, but lacking in variety and imagination.

    In short (which is Actual Person Speak for tl;dr): mediocre. A modest four out of ten stars for a competent but unremarkable effort.

    A ton of thanks to FUKE for re-translating this. I am sure the original translators did what they could with the Japanese – Spanish – English translation, but really, that is like a bad game of telephone. Too many chances for mistakes to happen which *completely* change the meaning of the dialogue.

    Thanks Oliver for sharing this.

    I have to admit that the first time I read this hentai I really didn't get it but enjoyed the images. After re-reading it with proper translations I am actually looking forward to see how the story develops.

    This isn't even remotely your fault :)

    After reading Fuke's blog on it… I'm not sure that 'telephone' syndrome was the promixal cause… it may have been a distal cause certainly. There was far more ignomity at work…

    Thank you Fuke! I almost wanted to do this myself, that's how bad it was…

    Btw, Oliver: "and now something throwing essential notions like “sense” or “scenario” to the shithole" – I think you mean "and NOT something …"

  20. on February 21st, 2012 at 10:08 pm

    Oooops, right !

    Thank you :)

    Now this brings a lil light to the question why this first transl. could be that stupid.
    For literarical reasons and research reasons, translators should always have to tell on which basic resource they worked further or burn their work like witches.
    Even if two translators do a good work and are native speakers of the language they translate into, the second version is always lacking half of the storys' originality already and thus his translation (if not regarding/knowing the original) makes the one legged first one, a halflegged one.
    I'd really apreciate it if translators ALWAYS can translate from the original – and if not stand away from doing so. If not their work could be called only a RE-translation. ;)
