Re: A personal story
(Anonymous) 2014-08-09 06:13 pm (UTC)(link)The thing about bad translations is that it can be very subjective, because them being bad or good depends on the translation being correct (that's objective, so that's the easy part) and fit for the intended audience (and that's the whole issue).
Is the intended audience familiar with honorifics or at least willing to learn about that (a few publishing houses are willing to include some extra pages with cultural explanations about honorifics and such) or they want to reach to an audience that doesn't want to bother with that?
Publishing houses have to make a choice, because sadly it's impossible to do something everyone will be happy with the result and people who aren't part of the intended audience tend to be too harsh about those translations, which isn't fair to the translators and everyone else involved with it IMO
