Cost of subs not saved vs cost of a translator?

Do american game companies have translators for their presentations?

i understand your snide comment, but it's not a stretch to ask for a proper translation in tandem with the PLL considering that they have the staff for it. And if we're talking purely business, english is the most spoken international language, and the 3rd most spoken native language in the world.

Personally, I would prefer they just pre-record the PLLs and translate them before releasing them

Im really not sure if this is a troll comment or are you serious?

When it comes down to Companys, Programming or anything in the world ENGLISH is the WORLD LANGUAGE there is a huge difference to Japanese, so please maybe you should consider the shit you are posting in the future a bit more, ty

Untranslated Live Letters were cute when we all thought this team was the scrappy underdog, but at this point it is ridiculous they can't just do a pre-recorded stream with an English dub. I don't even care if they have someone else presenting, Yoshi P on screen waving around sheets of paper and switching between a webcam and a 2009 Sony Handicam isn't cute anymore.

Like we laugh at how bad Pokémon is these days and yet they manage to do exactly this

The CEO of pokemon just starts talking in Japanese then a dub voice overlays the Japanese so we know exactly what he is saying

Honestly the More I think about it pokemon directs are basically exactly what I want out of 14’s live letters these days

Or they could copy Kojima and his translator (Aki Saito) style. Dude even "translate" kojima's laugh/chuckle. Maybe it is scripted, but who cares tbh? PLL is generally scripted as well.

Also yeah, this. US-centrism much? The amount of German and French players cannot be underestimated. Sure, a lot of them speak English, but on further investigation, a lot of them also don't. Idk why USians think that, because they are many, everyone else needs to cater to them.

e/:

Idk why I took until now to realize that Gurgeh is a troll. No non-troll who isn't a redneck republican would unironically call it American.

Wrong on every front. But I've only myself to blame if you think that.

Troll? Sometimes. But I'm only a Troll to the trolls. I only 'troll' if I imagine people can tell I'm 'trolling'. Even then I only like to do it to the bombastic trolls who will shake it off. Not the ones it might actually hurt.
The rest of the time I'm just madge.
Genuinely if a person think it's ok keep people out of game or not heal them after a raise... That person is cnt. Im not trolling, I genuinely fully believe that person is a cnt. And I won't be the only one, and I want those people to know they are not the only one that is quietly thinking that.
All the time the savage streamers are endorsing that kind of behaviour.

[RenegadeInferno]

No. But that's because nearly everyone speaks American. Even the English now speak American. I'm not saying every live letter. I just mean one like this where it's really useful.

As a English/British citizen, I beg your pardon?

American is English, just with some... differences.
I can assure you, that we English people do not speak American by any stretch of your imagination.

[Vazdan]

Wait wait I've been practicing my Imperial English... uuh...

Y'all reet. Wanna kick off the whip bled? M'bout some legit ex-sovereign whit mah skrilladon innit safe and feeling mad dush. Ya get me fam?

[Scherwiz]

Well you see, it's difficult when half of your time is spent holding up printed out upcoming ugly gear set with terrible dye channel. How could one possibly translate that. The weight of your 25 finger rings making it harder and harder to hold up each piece of paper.


But seriously? I think during something where they tell us they are going to possibly be addressing something as important as the current state of content. (Although they didn't use those words) Maybe consider talking to everyone.

Still standing by the first part of this Live Letter was important enough to have the answers summarized in English on another slide or translated either by Foxclon or another SE employee (not sure of that one woman's name, but I've seen her a few times during expansion releases). Would not have added much more time to the LL. Why risk misinformation getting passed around?
