Like manga, I hate it when they, for example, transliterate さん as -san, when there is an “equivalent” word for it, like Mr. but would it carry the same connotation as the source material? I cringe when I buy translated versions of Japanese literature due to this (which is why I stick to the source material), it just… does not sit well, I mean instead of writing -sensei, -senpai, or -sama there are “equivalents” in English for those but the catch is that would it work well upon translation?
Some are very difficult. In any romantic setting dropping the honorifics would be a huge deal because it implies a very intimate register, and it’s basically impossible to replicate if you don’t use them to start with.
Some yea, but idk one could just use the lastname in the tl before and after that the firstname which would be similiar. Honestly it has been so long since I last read anything that was translated from JP -> EN that I have no idea how stuff is translated lately. I’m not interested in checking how there are either. I’d rather read something new in jp.
