Letter from the Producer LIVE Part II (10/25/2011)

Posing a question does nothing when you don't understand the language the answer is given in.

Translated Question/Answer will be given via Twitter Live.

Translated Question/Answer will be given via Twitter Live.

The thread in question is in regards to subtitles being given with the broadcast, which is why I gave a smartass response. TBH they could just as easily use their own forums, but they pick a completely separate medium altogether. Way to go SE.

Twitter auto-updates, the forums do not. A bit more inconvenient to have to keep refreshing the page to catch posted questions.

A little tiny piece of code and any webpage can auto-refresh.

They could do live-cover subtitles, they do it in the news all the time.

In Canada, where we have two official languages, the news media is always prepared with live voice-over translators who speak over what the speaker (usually a politician) is saying if they switch languages mid-speech (which happens frequently).

It's certainly possible to have 3 translators for French, German, and English to do the same thing for these live episodes.

sure.. but not on forums. is not design to do so and is best that way.

refreshing a whole forum be silly lol twitter feed can be intregrated into websites which I do at pads, and if you ask a question it will be in english so you can spot your answer easily.

I duno why its has to be live, they should pre-record it, have the questions asked on a thread on each of the forums and then translate and sub it accordingly.

Certainly isn't worth watching live if you can't speak/understand Japanese.

Do you realize that the only difference between live and pre-record is that the live version of the pre-record is never shown?

You aren't losing out on anything when it is broadcast live. Getting the pre-record version out will take exactly as long as it does now. Only this time, JP's don't have to wait for their version needlessly (and we don't have to wait for a rough outline needlessly either).
