Can we get modern english translation?

Moden english?

"Yo dawg, they call us dark-knights up in this hood. Those soldier thought they had gatted me down but as you see homes I'm up and willing to teach you the ways of the streets. Be carefull it ainst easy living the dark-knight style. Let me explain the rest of this to you in a freestyle rap."

I just wish that they would get some better script writers if they insist on keeping the dialogue like this. They use quite a few phrases incorrectly and it feels clunky and awkward.

Forsooth! What new mechanism of perception doth thou bringest upon these forums?

Thine inability to distinguish thy own language, doth attest to thy lack of educational endeavors.

Perhaps a tipper novel or a rousing conversation art what thou needest?

Or, you know, pay attention in any English class where they taught Shakespeare.

I've never read Shakespeare, horrible I know, but it's certainly not needed education to understand Olde English.

Yeah better fill it with yolos, your/you're, yus, and other "modern" words.

My only issue with the way they translate into "old english" is that they butcher the script. I play in japanese audio and there's so much left out in the english text box it makes me cringe. I'm amazed the story is even coherent in the translation. There's SO MUCH left out of the games plot from japanese to english. Why does the translation team cut so much out? Its not like they have to worry about lip syncing or anything.

Really I have yet to get someone to link a post where it says things are missing in the dialog

Isnt there one in this very thread? In all threads about this topic in fact. For that matter, just listen to any dialogue with Midgartsorm with japanese audio and english text enabled. Or iceheart having a 180 degree different personality.

Gee, it's almost like two languages from opposite sides of this giant blue marble don't sync up perfectly in the course of translation.

For a lot of reasons, some cultural and some grammatical, there are times when English can convey an idea or message in significantly less words than Japanese. The reverse can also be true.

When you try to do exact 1:1 sync ups, you end up with "All your base are belong to us".
