Translation Errors

Translation Errors

Hello everyone! Today I wanted to post something a little bit different. Rather than updating you guys on whats going on in the gaming world, or posting a review, I figured Id share something from the brand new JRPG Ar Nosurge.

Now its no surprise that sometimes there are translation errors in games. Whenever a game is brought over from Japan, the translation from Japanese to English (or any other language) isnt quite as clear cut as one might think. Theres more than one way to translate what is being said, and because of that there are sometimes mistakes. This is just something most gamers have come to accept over the years, and it is rarely something worth noting. However, when you come across a mistake such as this--you cant help but laugh.

Its not everyday you see "young woman" get translated to "old man," but for some reason I was happy to see it. While it isnt the worst translation Ive seen in a game released over the past few months (I believe the award for "most translation errors in a game" belongs to another game found on the Vita), it is one that completely caught me off guard, and made me smile at the same time.

So, now I ask you--what is the funniest mistake youve seen in a game? Theres a lot of great games out there with funny mistakes, and wed like to hear which ones are your favorite.

(I can personally think of a few others, but for now Ill just leave it at this.)
