The only problem I could foresee with translating it is that the specific kind of verbal tic (where there's a word at the end of the sentence) just doesn't happen 90% of the time in English because of how English sentences are structured. This isn't just a problem in Hetalia fandom, either. A loooot of series have that problem. (One that comes to mind specifically is Teddie from Persona 4: he added 'kuma' to the end of his sentences in Japanese, but for English they had him make lots of bear puns.) For a lot of the verbal tics out there you pretty much have to re-structure every sentence to fit it in smoothly, and that's something I would expect of a professional translation, not a fan translation.

Re: 145

Yeah, I do realize that it's difficult! I am a fan translator myself, and I've had to deal with that kind of verbal tic before (hi there, Higurashi no Naku Koro ni!). But even though I might not always do a great job of it, I prefer to find some way to translate, if not the tic itself, the impression that the tic is supposed to convey (if that makes sense). It's just a matter of personal preference, I guess, and I probably shouldn't have gotten so ranty about it.

Re: 145

[maplepancakes.livejournal.com]

Is that the commonplace in fandom? I only ask because I've never really talked about it with anyone before, so I never knew it was an issue. Personally I have no preference one way or another.

Re: 145

[xenoglossy]

It's more common to leave them untranslated, actually -- which is all the more reason why I shouldn't get worked up about it, I guess.
