Cnet, I have noticed that you do not always include emphatic marks (like quotation marks, brackets and so forth that were inserted by the author himself on the Japanese text) in your translation. Could you please include them? Thank you.

I am fond of your translations. They are one of the main reasons why I come to this site. Thank you for your gorgeous work.

Kind regards,

Australopithecus

It wouldn't be reasonable in my opinion to always include the same punctuation as in the Japanese in a translation, simply because there isn't a one-to-one relationship between the punctuation used in Japanese and that used in English. There are certainly punctuation marks that serve similar purposes, certainly, but even so they're not used in exactly the same ways.

For instance, a lot of the quotation brackets in One Piece are used to indicate specific named things such as pirates' nicknames or crews. It would look silly to put quotation marks in English every time "Bellamy the Hyena" or "Straw Hat Luffy" or the "Great Yonta Maria Fleet" is mentioned, as the Japanese does, because quotation marks aren't used nearly as commonly in English for that kind of purpose. However, in English we have features that Japanese doesn't have such as title case to draw attention to the use of proper names, so it balances out.

Similarly, the Japanese commonly uses quotation marks or "attention dots" (I don't know if they have a proper name <.<) to draw attention to key words in a sentence. This is fine in Japanese because it's a part of the natural style of manga dialogue, and it fits in with the general prolific use of various kinds of quotation and attention marks to delineate key terms in the text, so it doesn't really draw attention to itself.

By contrast, the closest things we have to this in English would probably be italics, bold and all-caps, all of which are very sparingly used in English writing and suggest a much greater level of emphasis. I don't think it would be good English style to use italics, bold or all-caps every time a word is highlighted in the Japanese, because that would result in unnatural-looking English text that looks odd to the reader and suggests a level of heavy intonation from the speaker that isn't really intended in the original text.

I also don't think it's necessary, because in the vast majority of cases it's plenty clear from context which words in a sentence are important. If the emphasis really adds something to the meaning, it can be made clear through the way the sentence is phrased, and in some cases, yes, it can even be most natural to add some form of explicit emphasis in the text, be it through quotation marks, italics, bold or all-caps. But to blindly use these in every case where there's some kind of emphatic punctuation in the Japanese would be awkward, and in my opinion the mark of an amateurish translator. Indeed, since the most natural translation is rarely a one-for-one match for the words used in the Japanese, in some cases trying to put in emphasis on exactly the same words as in the Japanese would result in having to twist the sentence into a less natural form to even include those specific words.

In short, I don't think it's reasonable to insist that I include emphatic punctuation in every instance where the Japanese does. If you think there are some specific places where there was some kind of important emphasis in the Japanese that didn't come across properly in my translation, then feel free to point them out; god knows I'm not perfect, and I'm always open to criticism. But general sweeping judgements on my translation style without any particular examples don't strike me as all that helpful.

Thanks for reading my translations, I'm glad you enjoy them, and I hope you don't take my mini-rant too personally! <.<
