This is one of my favorite things. In the final dungeon, the chest messages change to notes from the translators talking about how much this game means to them, and encouragements to see it through to the end. Hits me right in the heart and reminds me why we do this work. Machines could never.

Folks, I've been told there's a new MangaPlus survey where they ask about the use of AI translation. You know what to do docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

I want everyone to stop saying AI is here to stay, AI is inevitable, all that crap. It's only "inevitable" if we all agree it is. This is how consent gets manufactured, and I'll have no part in it. Either I will piss on Claude's grave, or Claude will piss on mine. No compromise, no surrender.

Some movie credits run for over ten minutes, but many manga translators have to beg for clients to even allow their work to be listed on a private portfolio, let alone anywhere that the public can actually see and use, and manga production teams are *significantly* smaller. It's obscene, honestly.

I could write volumes about the Orientalism inherent in expecting translated Asian texts to be somehow intrinsically different in vocabulary and metre to native English. They're not foreign and exotic to local readers, why on earth would you want them to be different for you if you want authenticity

Since it finally came out on BluRay last month and I now have a screenshot of the credits on there, I can officially say that I was the translator for the anime Bad Girl, which aired last summer!~ I had so much fun working on it, and I'm so happy to have translated my first anime! ★

A screenshot of the English Language Production credits on the BluRay disc of anime series Bad Girl. It shows the poster, Ella Donaldson, credited as the Project Translator, her first anime credit.

A promotional image for the anime Bad Girl, featuring main characters Yuu Yuutani, Atori Mizutori, Rura Ruriha, and Suzu Suzukaze, along with the letters that make up the anime title. Yuu is a short girl with a dark brown bob that has hot pink underneath, she is wearing a zip-up hoodie over her school uniform. Atori is dressed neatly with a dark grey waistcoat over her school uniform of white long-sleeved blouse and short pleated grey skirt, and wears black tights. She has long red hair with purple ends, tied in a ponytail. Rura has shoulder-length wavy dark green hair with lighter ends, worn in two pigtails with a flower decoration on each hair tie. She wears a baggy pink sweater over her uniform, and knee-high black and white lace up boots. Suzu has medium-long ash-blonde hair with pink ends tied in a side ponytail with one half of her fringe braided and pinned at the side of her head. She wears a light blue cardigan over her uniform.

Hi, I'm Ella, I translate manga from JP ⇒ EN. I started working as a freelance translator in Jan 2022, but I've been learning Japanese for about 14 years I've worked on: ⭐The Barbarian's Bride ⭐The Café Terrace and its Goddesses ⭐Moebana ⭐BAKEMONOGATARI ⭐Dazzling Spring Days and more!

The cover of the first volume of The Warrior Pincess and the Barbaric King. Serafina, a woman dressed in armour, with long blonde hair and blue eyes, smiles nervously while holding a sword to her neck. Around her neck is a gold metal choker, and she has a dark blue ribbon at the back of her hair.

The cover of the first volume of The Cafe Terrace and its Goddesses. Five girls dressed in blue waitress uniforms with white pinstripes and black ruffle trim are smiling and posing at the viewer. Ouka is in the centre and has pale reddish-pink hair with a fringe. Shiragiku is in the top left and has a dark green long bob with a straight fringe. Akane is in the top right and has a pale yellow-blonde bob with a long fringe. Ami is in the bottom left and has long dark blue hair tied in a high ponytail. Riho is in the bottom right and has light gingery-blonde hair in pigtails, and a sideswept fringe.

The cover of the first volume of Moebana. Tsukumo, a friendly teenage boy with warm-toned light pink hair and pink eyes, is holding a peony and smiling.
