terrible AI translation. repeated bubbles, repeated words, pronouns all over the place, subjects all over the place and names changing..

 

[Emanon0]

the story was nice but what is this translation?! The pronons were all over the place and is that normal that at p20 and 48, the faces have different style?

JFC, people, if you’re gonna machine translate it, at least proofread it once. “She” and ”her” are not difficult words—get’ em right.
Couldn’t finish it, despite being invested in the story.

Honestly couldn’t tell if this was homophobic revisionism or just a shitty translation

Japanese pronouns aren't 1-1 with english pronouns. If this is a story about two bokukos, that's not something AI can figure out. Shame, there's probably a good deal of nuance in which pronouns are used when and by who considering the nature of this oneshot. Maybe, could also just be an even worse translation than I'm giving it credit for.

Incredible waste of time. Just post the official scan to give us two seconds of joy before it gets taken down instead of this dreck.

The proper translation is incredible and everyone should seek it out.

Can we start reporting AI translations? At least the shitty ones at the very least...
Some people use AI to translate some dropped manga but at least they do the bare minimum effort to proofread it.

Why do leftists hate AI when it's so woke it can't even tell the difference between him and her

 

[Jazzyjeofff]

It’s still a nice story, and I am glad it’s here. I think there was a better translation uploaded a few months ago, but it must have been taken down. I am glad it is here in any case.

There's also a bigger issue: the conversation between Tiara and her parents on page 46-47 seems crucial to the story but it's almost indecipherable.

Probably because you can leave a ton of shit out in Japanese if it's clear from context, and the art in manga provides a ton of context.

"While I only got to the district level."

"Because I didn't let you train more and didn't pay for travel expenses"

These sentences where probably originally something like:

"[X] Only got to district level."

"[X] didn't let [Y] train more or pay for travel expenses."

The machine translator can only see the dialogue, so it goes for the default: X = I, Y = you, but you're supposed to be seeing the dialogue and the art showing that Tiara is talking to her parents.

So:

"I only got to the district level" (the same)

"You didn't let me train more or pay for travel expenses." (Completely different)
