Honorifics translation notes
As noted in Amitie and the Girl of Love!?, the manzai gags had to be tweaked in order to make sense in English. Were there any other times changes had to be made in that regard? There are other times, though we do our best to preserve meaning if it’s…
Manzai gag translation notes
So, I'm aware changes had to be made when translating honorifics, such as changing Arle's Kaa-kun to "Carby" or changing Lidelle's onii-sama/onee-sama to "Big Bro"/"Big Sis" in order to keep thing in-character, but were other instances where changes needed to be made aside from removing the honorific?

Question about JP Honorifics

Our primary reason for localizing the honorifics into English equivalents stems from the fact that, besides Suzuran, the setting of the Puyo Puyo games is not in Japan. Japanese culture does not feature…
Puyo Pop Fever localization question
What's the team's stance on Puyo Pop Fever's localization job? Is it a trainwreck? Is a literal translation? Does it take liberties? Are those liberties any good? What about Amitie's catchphrases? Do they have any root in the original Japanese? I'd like to know because I really find it fascinating.
