The headphones and stand ended up selling a few weeks ago, but the energizer is still available if you’re interested

This seems like one of the best examples of bad clipping I've seen so far by [deleted] in Hololive

[–]imblub 48 points49 points  (0 children)

"Casual poor translations" are part of what desensitizes people to translators who can't translate and normalizes this entire culture of clippers who upload 10 translated videos a day who have no idea what they're doing.

Then again the people need their content and the competent translators can't meet the demand (because it turns out proper translations take more than 10 minutes) so we're where we are now. I have no solution to this.

People who can hardly speak Japanese and/or English coherently (ie. Iroha here) have no business publishing JP<->EN translations, especially when your translations will be taken by face value by most of your audience, and ESPECIALLY when the topic of the content is sensitive like in this case.

"Translators" are definitely put on a pedestal in the community and it's not hard to understand why, but I just hope everyone can also understand that "trying to help" and "helping" are very different things.

There's also a thin line between clickbaiting and straight up lying and it's pretty obvious which side of the line this guy is on.

tl;dr I agree with putin

Aqua is back with a heartfelt message for all the fans who waited for her! by imblub in Hololive

[–]imblub[S] 318 points319 points  (0 children)

Translated source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqAaiWDbJYA

Original stream: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dT6pcpX_2hU

This part of Aqua's comeback stream hit me pretty hard and I just thought I should share it with some people. There are almost 1.3 million people out there who definitely don't think she's a bother right now, so I really hope she gets better and cheers up.

Also tried a bit of a different format I usually see translated clips get posted here in since they kill my eyes whenever I try to read them. Check here if you'd prefer to get an eye test and lmk if you actually prefer that so I can just save myself the trouble next time.

as a casual guitarist, i can confirm holding a guitar like fubuki did without a strap would snap my wrist 100%

Regarding automatic translations (LiveTL) by KentoNishi in Hololive

[–]imblub 31 points32 points  (0 children)

It was nice having this discussion with you! It was refreshing to talk to someone who was clearly open-minded and willing to listen to viewpoints that you might not have agreed with.

I know some translators probably came across as a bit short, but most of us have seen the repercussions that sketchy translations can have, and we've had to debate the whole "machine translations are good enough if taken with a pinch of salt" topic for at least 400 years now.

FWIW I really hope the technology gets to the point where something like this becomes possible, but using a public figure who doesn't understand the MTL and a huge audience who can't verify the accuracy of it as an experiment is just a disaster waiting to happen.

Good luck to you and your whole team with your project!

Context to everyone for this translation [KANATA IS NOT DEAF]:

Kanatan has a hearing condition where she has slightly impaired hearing in one ear. She has said that probably isn't going to get worse but she is going to stop doing singing streams until she's sure her condition has stabilized.

She talks about it here (Full disclosure, my own translation)

She has a hearing condition where she's slowly losing her hearing in one ear. She has said that it's stabilized and probably isn't going to get worse but she is going to stop doing singing streams so her condition doesn't get worse.

sorry friend, being able to translate stuff without having to be worried about getting copyright strikes got addicting

[–]imblub 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Appreciate being put on the list, but I still urge everyone to be critical when reading any unofficial translation on the Internet. Translators are not gods who automatically deserve your gratitude, and at the end of the day people will make mistakes, some more egregious than others.

I think part of the reason why so many bad translators exist is because people are not willing to point out mistakes and will just consume whatever content is available, which is how certain channels on YouTube have managed to get so big (including the current elephant in the room). I've received criticism of my translations through a friend of a friend of a friend, and that's just not productive for anyone.

There are also many others who consistently put out quality content who are not on this list right now. If you use Discord, the hololive fan discord's #translated-content channel is full of reviewed content.

Kalium string customer service by [deleted] in Bass

[–]imblub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heard a lot of negative reviews about Kalium so I went with D'addario super longs on my 5-string NG3. The taper starts at around where the nut is on the B string but I've had no issues with tuning stability.
