All legends pass.

I appreciate the goober dance for the bonus illustration because of it even more, though.

I appreciate the use of "Fall" instead of "Autumn" for the chapter title, even though I'm willing to bet the double meaning wasn't present in the original Japanese title.

Thank you for noticing, it was intentional. Whether or not the double meaning was intended by the authors is ambiguous. Given their writing style and historical choice of words, I am willing to bet it isn't completely coincidental. Title choices have always been deliberate, and a simple "Autumn" does not fit their modus operandi.

This part hurts to read just as much as it did the first time

If I may: this is the primary distinction between Localization and Translation. Many fan translations don't understand that in order to get some of the nuances of what a line is trying to get across you have to change some of the words (especially idioms). Literal translations can lead to funky places and good Localizers realize the places they can make a good conversion to allow the reader to understand the intent behind dialogue.

If there's one godly thing I love about Uma Global is whoever is doing the enUS localization is absolutely killing it with Maruzensky/Helios dialogue by localizing it into something that clicks for what the idea is behind those characters.

The shift in title is a great example of good localization, keep up the good work

The discourse around translation and localization has been co-opted and twisted by those who do not understand multiple languages and are more interested in politics. I am disinterested in this discourse. The dichotomy between translation and localization is manufactured and exists on a sliding scale that is up to the translator to determine what is appropriate on a case by case basis.

Personally, I only care about preserving the intent of the original text in context. I'd prefer not to be associated with a false label on either side, no offense intended. Thank you for your kind words.

...aight.

Thanks for the pretty dance, Oguri….

 

[squakk]

...aight.

Apologies for being abrasive. Fwiw I don't disagree with you, but this topic is poisonous online, and I wanted to make my position clear before other people have the opportunity to mischaracterize me. I do appreciate the comment.
