A good localization team knows to choose a localization that still fits the tone of the original works - that what makes it different to a team that does straight translations.
And not only is the tone part of the reason I like and I also have no obligations to comment on other posters opinions on here when I see no problem with it: I never disagreed about wanting to have 'nonsense' translated - if you managed to do one 'idiom/word/term' you might as well do another. Again, I do not disagree with the other person, I have simply voiced my own preference of having to make a choice.
More than anything I
have done - more than once - done translations for myself whenever I wanted to simply read ahead or read a series that nobody has picked up because I know my fair share of languages.
And not to further rain on your parade but people have translated entire chinese, korean and japanese novels using MTL and their knowledge of the language to fully translate and localize it perfectly - even phrases that are uncommon or unusual - and all of them manage to add in a small note explaning the original meaning and the original text.
I'm old enough to know what actual
scanslators are. The people who had to buy several physical copies - one to take apart to scan the pages, one to read through and sometimes even a third to make annotations for themselves.
They had to use the most basic programs to clean what were actual scans and they didn't have access to online dictionaries, an online thesaurus or an online urban dictionary all of which are constantly being updated.
And I hate to burst your bubble but doing translations on a manga site brings you as little of the supposed 'influence and fame' you talk about as writing fanfiction. People might be incredible at all of that but at the end of the day you aren't going to change shit in the world.
Even less so in world that gives anyone can do the exact same thing you do the way they themselves prefer it to be done.
People appreciate translators because it allows for easy acccess to works that are originally sometimes even region blocked online or because they cannot afford official translations or original works.
That does not mean that any translator is easily despensable - you have made that very clear by suggesting to hire some to replace other translators - and that also doesn't mean that you are entitled to throw a major hissy fit whe people make comments or suggestions about your translation.
Even less so when they all have a genuinely good point. This isn't nit-picking it is simple asking for small changes that would make an even better experience and a simple exchange to possibly improve 'a product' even more.
You are putting your translation/work out here, you will get feedback and if you were in any way mature you would look into it and make what few small tweaks might improve not only the readers experience but maybe your own skills.
Unless of course you are translating for your own ego and not to share works you like with others.
Feel free to call on your "expert professional 6th Degree Blackbelt Scangods" to disapprove of any of what I said.
Because I highly doubt that anyone who has been doing this for years and genuinely would have the ego to spit all of the garbage you did so far over very few small suggestions, questions for clarification and requests that would not be hard to fullfill.
There you go:
how did "LIKE A FUCK BOI" happen out of that? You could have easily even just left that "Out of Asia" and added a note saying "*an expression meaning 'as fast as lightning' "
