| The statement about Yen Press asking Baka-Tsuki to remove the fan-translations is not true. |
stellarroze said: Partially it is. They received a C&D order before for the other licensed series like Bungaku Shoujo and S&W.The statement about Yen Press asking Baka-Tsuki to remove the fan-translations is not true. It's been their policy ever since to take down anything that has been licensed in English. They took down Hidan no Aria almost immediately even without a C&D order. |

Amiluhur said: I don't mind paying few bucks to read LNs that are actually being translated by professionals from legal publishing company. Because, TBH i often have a hard time reading most light novel fan translations. The intent of these translations often seems to be conveying the intent of the plot (i.e. so that everyone can understand "what happened"), but there's little apparent thought given to either the voice of the author or the voice of the characters. And this is my biggest problem with them, because most fan translators are not "authors"; they act more like "converters" (like hopefully-smarter versions of Google Translate) I think this is spot on (not saying gorgeous fan translations don't exist). But I wouldn't discount the idea that there are people who prefer the plain, "converted" fan translations over the stylized stuff that some official translations end up being. Especially when a whole bunch of canon material gets altered to sync with the perceived sensibilities of the target audience. And that's strange, comparing human translators to Google Translate. At the moment, machine translations are on an entirely different level of incomprehensibility. |

| I hope some company ends up translating the Baccano LN's- probably Yen Press since they did the Durarara ones, unless I'm mistaken? Anyways, I might check out Accel World. |
