Do you prefer literal or liberal translations?

[QUOTE="Returnofganon, post: 7006961, member: 367728"] Literal translations can be confusing as there are many cultural things/references that only a native speaker would understand. Jokes end up lost in translation. A good translate knows the language well and knows what should and shouldn't be preserved. As for "censorship" based on a region I think this is kinda bs. The only time something should be completely removed from a game is when the average player wouldn't know what it is. In situations like this I think translators should add something to replace it, just removing something is lazy imo. Other things like censorship of "lewd" costumes (or what ever) shouldn't happen, instead the games ERSB rating (or whatever rating system) should be altered accordingly. I know that in some places, such as Australia, games could be altered greatly (The Stick of Truth comes to mind) which is also terrible. I don't like when the government gets involved with censorship. An M rated game should be treated as an M rated game in all regions. People should expect what an M rated game should bring and shouldn't have to be sheltered from that if they want to play it. This kinda got off topic lmao just my opinion on the whole thing [/QUOTE]
