So I'm looking up the optional codecs to Metal Gear Solid (1998), seeing if I can find what Chinese proverbs were being mentioned in the original Japanese. When I run into this bit of curious machine-translation hiccough-ery:
Screencaps of an optional in-game codec conversation in Metal Gear Solid. The dialogue is in Japanese, with the character talking about a Chinese saying.A person on twitter quotes/paraphrases the conversation, but the machine translation translated "In China" to "In Japan".

I subscribed to Unpacking Japan after they interviewed a guy who took over a traditional hand-made boat-making business, so when I saw that they interviewed the EN-JA translator for Undertale, my eyes lit up: www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7kg...

I don't really like making a bunch of posts on social media, so I've decided to try being a little archaic and just make a weekly blog post about random interesting things I came across recently: nomansguy.wordpress.com/2026/03/14/i...

While looking up the line "there are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, or whatever Shakespeare said" from the 1987 Devilman OVA English dub, I found a cool thread about added Shakespeare references in the dub of the Ranma 1/2 remake's Romeo & Juliet episode: www.reddit.com/r/ranma/comm...
