Thank you for transalting
Some of the official English localizer for anime, manga, light novel, and games from Japan has been, for the longest time, deliberately "mistranslating" or even outright omitted some of the translation from the original script. Search up "Katrina Leonoudakis controversy" if you want some light on the matter.I sincerely doubt that they were referring to "official" sites when they said 'aggregators'. More likely referring to the 'illegal' sites that rip from those created by translation groups, or that they choose to upload to (such as here).
Meaning when they said it was already "updated on most major aggregator sites" they meant that those sites are illegally hosting the official translation.
I am curious what the big Scandal with official Localizer going on is though.
Well, shit. Or I guess, no shit? Bah. Either way, sorry to hear, and hope things work out in the near future to resolve these issues. Thanks for all the chapters, in this and other series.Hey guys yeah just to clarify:
We're very low on staff (we're relying on basically one person to do all of our CLRD and TS).
Add that to the fact that the official TLs have been posted basically everywhere but MD and it feels pointless to spend so much time and energy that we don't have. If we had more CLRD/TS then we'd love to pick it back up but as it stands we can't remotely justify it.
We had to drop 3 other series too due to nearly all of our CLRDs and TSes going on hiatus. (although one of those we got a new CLRD for so it might be sticking around)
I hope you guys can get some recruits 'cause you've had pretty damn good quality. Good luck and thank you.Hey guys yeah just to clarify:

The officials are up to date until the latest Raws.Thank you for splendid translation until now, I hope the Official one can catch up soon 🥲
I suspected that it was that...Some of the official English localizer for anime, manga, light novel, and games from Japan has been, for the longest time, deliberately "mistranslating" or even outright omitted some of the translation from the original script.

The most recent egregious one I encountered was the English localization for the "Granblue Fantasy: Relink" game. Jesus fucking christ the localization is an absolute travesty. Changing the original script with their own lame quips, which is flat out wrong. One example is the main character described his party member as "a mature and beautiful woman" in a dialog, but it was translated to "a mysterious woman". HOW? There are countless instances where the character said A, but translated as B. How is this not vandalizing the original script??
I'm so goddamn glad that AI would replace these "failed writers" localizer.
Talking about localizer in general, people started to realize what was happening with kobayashi-san-chi no maid dragon then it snowballed, now japanese are furious and many studio be it anime, manga or video-games wants to go AI translationDetails?
