So the natural desire is to try to take these “monotone” translations and re-inflate them with character and other distinguishing characteristics. As a translator, this is sometimes frustrating the original Japanese text usually has so many distinguishing characteristics that get lost – things like gender cues, age cues, background cues, status cues, relationship cues, and the like. There’s a lot to say about the topic, but to just touch on it quickly, straight translation from Japanese to English often results in English text all having the same “tone”.

For the most part, if you ever encounter writing that sounds like this in a translation, you can usually assume the Japanese text is actually quite a bit tamer. I feel the phrasing I chose for these scenes is wholly appropriate to Seiko's personality and the intended impact of her scenes, but I do appreciate your feedback, and I'm sorry if you're finding it distracting.This is more or less what I was expecting before going into this – the English version is a punched-up version of the Japanese text, but in terms of content it’s about the same.

This also sobers Seiko a bit, causing her to be as serious as you'll ever see her in this game. It's the only way she can keep herself from going totally nuts.Īnd as you'll see later in the chapter (if you haven't already), Naomi totally scolds her for it, expressing utter disgust at Seiko for being so happy-go-lucky in such a hopeless situation. When she's freaked out, she attempts to lighten the mood with references to buttocks and inappropriate comments. She's constantly saying things in the bluntest, most crass ways the Japanese language has to offer - and she uses this as a defense mechanism. Why did I reword these as I did? Because there's a certain nuance to the way Seiko speaks that suggests a complete and utter disregard for good taste and appropriateness. She's literally saying something like, 'Thanks, I'm going to go rub it on right now.' And the 'dat a s s' thing? She's literally saying, 'The shape of your a s s.', in the most base and suggestive manner possible. 'It's a direct translation of the Japanese, but rephrased to fit with Seiko's personality. In case you missed it, here is what Tom had to say about it the last time it was brought up:

However, in the PC version, Corpse Party BloodCovered, Seiko asks for some 'ass medicine', but only because 「うん……最近なんかお腹の調子わるくてさ～」 which is translates to, 'Yeah, my stomach's been bothering me like crazy!' The difference being is that she now says 'onaka' meaning 'stomach'.

Interestingly enough, Seiko's problem area has always been her butt in the PSP version. 'Nuttakutte' meaning 'to smear' to which she is reiterating her previous comment of the medicine when she said 'nuru' meaning 'to smear'. 'Chotto' meaning 'just a minute short time just a little'.

'Nankō' meaning 'ointment salve'.Īnd we finally come to the infamous, 'Thanks! I'm gonna go butter up my pooper with it real good!' The Japanese version is, 「さんきゅー！じゃ、ちょっと塗ったくって来る！」which is translated to, 'Thanks! I'm gonna smear it a bit and come right back!' When you compare the translations, you can tell that the English version took creative liberties with this line.

'Futsū' meaning 'general ordinary usual'. Here.' The English version again shows an acceptable translation for this dialogue. 'Chōshi' meaning 'condition state of health'.Īfterward, Naomi responds with, 'Well, I've got some antibacterial cream, if that'll work.' The Japanese version have her responding with, 「普通の軟膏ならあるよ、ホレ」which is translated to, 'I've got some over-the-counter cream, if that's what you mean. My butt's been drier 'n a desert since we got here.' The Japanese version have her describing 「うん……最近なんかお尻の調子わるくてさ～」 which is translated to, 'Yeah, my butt's been bothering me like crazy!' Even though Seiko never describes her condition as being 'dry' in the Japanese version, it is still a generally acceptable translation. 'Oshiri' meaning 'arse ass bottom buttocks'. Seiko in the English version asks Naomi, 'Do you have any of that ass medicine on you, by any chance? You know, the smeary stuff?' The Japanese version have her asking 「お尻の薬持ってない？塗るやつ」 which is translated to, 'Do ya got that ass medicine on ya? The smeary stuff.' Basically, the English version is faithful to the original Japanese dialogue here. Kira and I wanted to analyze the popular 'butter up my pooper' quote from Corpse Party in depth from the Japanese to the English.
