How to Japanese Comments http://howtojapanese.blogsome.com How to "Get Used to" Japanese Sun, 13 Dec 2009 03:24:26 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=1.5.1-alpha by: Game Translator http://howtojapanese.blogsome.com/2009/04/01/video-game-translation/#comment-186 Fri, 30 Oct 2009 17:32:44 +0000 http://howtojapanese.blogsome.com/2009/04/01/video-game-translation/#comment-186 From my experience, the biggest worry of editors is the respect of terminology. Actually, problems related to the terminology can lead the final game not to receive the approval from the Nintendo/MS/Sony. Well, they do care about the quality of the translation itself too, but they are not as strict as with terminology. From my experience, the biggest worry of editors is the respect of terminology.

There also were similar wrong-goers in English. Let's see how his 1Q84 will explode the world. If you want, you can try to translate what i wrote about the book in the Russian Wiki after I've finished reading it -- http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/1Q84 That’s okay, I was not the only one guy who made that mistake.

I won't check your blog back for a while to avoid any spoiler. By the way, 橙 is still read as 'だいだい' by Japanese natives including me. There might be a situation somebody put オレンジ as ruby but it will seem really odd. I googled 1Q84 and came here. I won’t check your blog back for a while to avoid any spoiler.
