I'm running a group myself, and I know too well about the process of scanlation and how bad MTL can be. Also, who in the right mind "pays" scanlator? It's not a job.
You accept the translation but don't even know if it's off or not as long as the english is comprehensive and understandable, it's like creating your own interpretation based on what the machine spat out for you and just put together everything. I dislike what he's doing and for ruining the author's work with his mediocre release. I dislike people who can't even think about the main group doing proper work and expecting them to keep releasing like it's their job and you're paying them, because it's not.
Not everyone can buy because it's regional lock and it's not selling in my country. And even if it's available in english version from an english publishing, it's regional locked.
It's either called a commission,people pay you to translate a work of their choice,or a donation,where someone willingly pays you in order to make sure you keep translating whatever it is you're translating,and it is a job when a group actually has paid for employees,even if the amount is small.
Yeah,because no one cares what the fine details are if the whole arch is still what it's supposed to be,so long as no one is pulling a Funimation by injecting Western propaganda about completely unrelated nonsense into it,it's all good regardless.
The only real method of respecting the artists' work is to line their pockets by buying a copy,can't do that when it's region locked and not translated to begin with,so why should anyone care if slight meaning is lost when we can get decent translation results with just one change needed,someone to help the guy read through it.
All the nonsense about time taken is just excuses when one guy,who can't even read both languages,can do it faster to a degree of quality just one step below from being perfectly reasonable using a machine,all for a "community" of pirates who sail the high seas with not a penny to their name nor the means to even pay for the booty where a subset think that they have any right at all to talk about the quality of their hardtack.
So unless you're gonna steal that horse from the English,get off it already,there's more important swashbuckling to be done.
