What kind of novels does have poor translation?
Report function for poorly translated chapter.
HUMOR_SENSE101 lots of novels have low translation quality.
There are the novels like super genes which just has a huge wall of text of the wrong chapter. And there is also the ultimate scheming system which often has chinese sentences between each English sentences. These are the ones needing the report button the most.
There are other ones too. Some like immortal mortal has vast amounts of grammatical mistakes. I stopped reading that because of that. There are lots of novels like this, with loths of grammatical errors and typos. Which can usually be corrected with comment feedback. But only if the translator cared.
And the other thing i am starting to notice is some translator does not care about details. The translator would not put any effort into it. Reading those translations are like reading a office report. Just boring.
The one thing that peeves me the most is the is the translator knows the chapter is low quality and puts on a small translator note on the end saying "sorry for the typos and grammatical mistakes. Did not have time. XOXO. :)". I just want to kill these translators. If you knew it is not up to standard why do you post the chapter!?
Wolfeinstein mmh maybe they should notice as what you said
HUMOR_SENSE101 Here are a few I've noticed:
Trafford's Trading Club
HN1F
Ghost Emperor's Wild Wife
Records of Unusual Creatures (chapters at the beginning)
such a shame that Trafford's Trading Club doesn't seem to have an editor at all, I liked the story so much but sometimes it's very hard to understand because of all the mistakes.
Wolfeinstein Agreed. But I fear they put Spirit Stone as cost for reporting such bad translation. Lol
SuperHandsomeMan then do you want the TLs/EDs to go through a wall of spam comments just to see if there's some complaints on their translation? A report button would be much more convenient so that any translation mistakes will be sent directly to the TLs/EDs.
KimochiBlues exactly. But more than that it would force those translators who doesn't care about quality to correct the chapters
Yeah I think report button is needed especially for spammers
Hyper_pumpkin comment spammers are mostly due to the experience system. We can do nothing about that.
Wolfeinstein mmh usually I ignore those spammers but the majority said that we need report button
Hyper_pumpkin ok now which spammers are you talking about now?
suits for spammers.
N0xiety like i said comment spamming is mostly because of exp missions. If they change that about half the people will stop spamming
StndrdDvtn spammers are over the place
Having a report function would be nice. Especially for translations of 15 or less pages. There shouldn't be an excuse for consistently using bad grammar. Once or twice I can understand, but when every other sentence has a problem then it detracts from the reading experience.
I submitted a comment on chapter 740 of RtW pointing out a bunch of errors in the chapter, but since it was in the comment thread, it was buried, probably around 400+ comments down (mind you, somebody did like my comment, so some people do take the time to scroll through the comments).
It would be nice to have a separate reporting or commenting system for translation errors, so things like this can be reported properly, and people that spam on the separate system would be penalized.
Wolfeinstein sorry, I was trying to be sarcastic.
Agreed.
