Yoshi-P "definitive" answer on third party tools from today's 14 hour stream

[Avoidy]

Yoshi: "My words hold immense power"
Also Yoshi: "We're not going to have an official translator for the immensely powerful things I say. I don't mind the very real and common possibility of an amateur translator taking what I've said in Japanese and translating it in a way that misses my intent or bungles my nuanced meaning."
It's comical at this point. Imagine being the head dev for an international game funded by a multi billion dollar company, and instead of just realizing that your language is spoken by literally 1.6% of the world's population and hiring at least one translator to cover the most widely spoken language on earth, you simply leave it to the fans to potentially screw up. It's a miracle no ill intentioned troll has come out with subtle troll translations to make Yoshi seem like a dick or something. How would we even know it was wrong? Square won't fund their own fucking translations.

This is important because the whole thread, and this whole discussion going forward, hinges on translated text by some dude on reddit. And, I mean, props to him for translating it at all, but imagine if even one thing is wrong and now our whole discussion is founded on something that wasn't even intended to be interpreted that way. Deep-quote interpretations of LL discussions always rub me the wrong way for this reason. I feel like we're coming at it from a questionable place. This isn't meant to throw shade on the free translators doing god's work, I'm just rambling sorry.
