I must object to your tag "old Viz crappy translations" for Ranma 1/2! :D Maybe they WERE from a pure fidelity POV which I wouldn't know, but they were funny, they flowed well, they mostly made sense for the context (OK not always), the sound effects were well-lettered and funny and most importantly always translated! I probably enjoy those old translations better than 75% of the English manga translations (stilted, purist, cheap!) that are out today. (French translations are better.)

Ah, see, I am a purist! :D Though I actually agree with you on the aesthetics and cohesiveness of Viz’s Ranma ½ translations. They looked great and were accessible to American/English-speaking readerships; obviously a lot of time was spent on rendering them so. I guess philosophically I can’t get behind recontexualizing a work for a different language/culture, including translating the sound effects. I always want to see the source.

Gerald Jones wrote a couple of pieces about the difficulty of translating Takahashi specifically, and the mindset of translation work in the early/mid-90′s, which was more concerned with accessibility than pure accuracy. Which I get! The English-language manga market was not huge back then. But he kind of implies that the two options are stilted translation or smooth rewrite, which I disagree with. And other publishers (and even Viz’s other titles) have since proved there can (sometimes) be a happy medium. I’m a fan of the extensive liner notes that Dark Horse does with “Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service.” Maybe it’s not for everyone (it also includes liner notes for every. single. sound effect) but I personally don’t feel it’s a bad thing to ask readers to work a little for context.

Thank you for calling me out on my churlish choice of words, though! Ranma ½ was my gateway manga and a large part of that was thanks to Gerald Jones’ rewrite. I can’t pretend I didn’t laugh way louder and longer than was necessary at Kuno’s many dumb, great lines. So I guess I shouldn’t completely shun the translation.

Relatedly, I found this article on English and French translation “strategies” that touches on this subject - the decision to “naturalize” the translation (make it conform to the language/culture of the target readership) or “foreignize” it (preserve the language/culture of the original). I haven’t finished reading it yet but it looks interesting!
