Language -- especially spoken language -- is complicated.
Machine translation is a great tool for certain situations, but it's still extremely limited. We're many years away from a true Babelfish.

Legends of Localization: [Stream VOD] Tengai Makyō: The Apocalypse IV Translation & Analysis Let's examine Japanese stereotypes about America in this weird JRPG!

While studying Choctaw last year, I decided to revisit this comedic & stereotype-heavy JRPG about Native Americans

Unfortunately, this game remains Japanese-only after all these decades

Legends of Localization: The Many Translations of the “Lost Woods” The Japanese term "mayoi no mori" can be translated many different ways.

I updated my "Lost Woods" article!

I've added more examples of how 迷いの森 (mayoi no mori) has been translated in many different ways into English

Localization Let’s Play: Suikoden 1 – Part 24 - Elizabeth Bushouse Before the big battle at Shasarazade, we get a scene featuring a number of members of the Liberation Army, starting with Humphrey and Mathiu.

My Suikoden Localization Let's Play has finally come to an end! ...Mostly. I do plan to put up a tl;dr later that summarizes the topics that were covered, looks at some reviews of the game, and gathers up my own personal thoughts.

Random Game Monday Because I Couldn't Post on the Weekend.

Now that the dust has settled, I think this is one of my favorite games of all time. The Showa-era Japanese sci-fi vibes crossed with western sci-fi hit so so so hard. A masterpiece.

Kudos to Behind The Manga for doing an interview with Mitsuru Hattori, mangaka of Wash It All Away! I love how when he answers about incorporated cleaning techniques in his everyday life, he says he uses what he learns from Miss Kinme (in the Japanese) as if she exists, which is very sweet somehow.

‘SPIDER-MAN: BEYOND THE SPIDER-VERSE’ and Pixar’s ‘GATTO’ will now release in theaters on the same day.

Bad Bunny’s Puerto Rican Homecoming The Latin-trap performer is probably the most important pop musician of our time. Key to his success is that the bigger he gets, the more local he seems.

Bad Bunny “is probably the most important musician in the world right now—the person future generations will point to when they talk about what the early 2020s sounded like,” Kelefa Sanneh writes.

Soshite Hiroin wa Inakunatta: battan At last! More Battan! After I finished that last collection of short stories, I stepped into a terrible Battan-less world. No cutely upturned noses, no sparkling balls of light dancing around the p…

I wrote about it earlier this year if you need to know more before you pick it up. Although honestly, the only thing you need to know is that it's by Battan.

French-reading pals! A new Battan for you!! You get all the good manga in French, and this one is especially good! Go read it right now!!

Rescheduled due to a family health emergency (everything is okay now❤️)

But as not all the performers could make this session (1-1 coaching has been arranged), we are struggling to get performers in for the new date 😅

I would buy the shit out of an English release of this. I loved the Baroque remake on WIi.

Amazing talk! It was much appreciated and I’m glad that you shared so much of your expertise with us yesterday. Definitely will use it and never forget it.

No offense to GVG, but seeing them put up a video with a "translation" of the new Super Mario Galaxy storybook page that's just taking folks words for it when they openly used MTL feels kinda bad. Folks who actually speak the language have been correcting them in the comments.

Content creators + Press that wish to play MotorSlice Demo before September 23!

Contact me through email or DMs!

Do you have be apart of the university to join?

Ironic that I’ve worked on comics since my childhood but I feel infinitely more confident in my translation abilities even though I started that well into my adulthood

Hoping one day I’ll accomplish that feeling with comics too

Vod is coming when?

A poster for a workshop called "We Love Korean Folklore with Jihyun Yun and Ryan Estrada" it includes an ancient minhwa painting of a derpy tiger and concerned magpie next to author photos, and the books As The River Drags Her Down and Good Old Fashioned Korean Spirit. It reads "From tigers to tokkaebi, two authors discuss the classic Korean tales that still inspire us today. A free virtual book talk for libraries, available this October and November! Email ryan@ryanestrada.com to bring us to your library!"

I always offer free author visits, but to help the libraries I love I'm starting offering a wider variety of virtual programming at no charge!

First up, since Jihyun Yun and I both have Korean folklore-inspired YA books coming October 7, book us for all your KPop Demon Hunter-pilled patrons!
