@FrostedYukio @p1nkempress_ Besides, Toby never said the game won't be translated to other languages He stated that his initial approach was wrong in his thread

@neoscaperer @p1nkempress_ if he's involved in the localization process, he can have it be to his liking a localizer won't just go without his input

@FrostedYukio @p1nkempress_ Toby, still, wants things to be perfect, and that requires him to understand the language, rather than rely on the possibly botched translation to English to get it.

@FrostedYukio @p1nkempress_ And Toby does not want this to happen. For example, you can't really translate the Late Night pun into another language, without making sacrifices, and Toby wants to understand what the translation means exactly, as to keep the impact and pun.

@FrostedYukio @p1nkempress_ -directly, which requires knowing the language yourself. There are many instances of translators messing up entire translations, E.G. the Chinese Silksong translation, which was recieved horribly upon launch

@FrostedYukio @p1nkempress_ And he can only verify it is correct if he understands what's being written directly, as he can do with Japanese. The only person who knows if the translation is proper is the person who originally wrote the medium, and that would be Toby himself.

@neoscaperer @p1nkempress_ he's able to tell a localizer how to properly translate his vision, this is more like he's such a perfectionist that he views that as unacceptable

@FrostedYukio @p1nkempress_ Not necessarily, many things like foreshadowing only really work when Toby himself is overseeing it, as some may use wordplay and may be lost on the localizer. There is a book on the Undertale Japanese translation process, and it goes in-depth on many things Toby had to oversee.

@neoscaperer @ehukuu @bobb4242 zman legit roped some random guy that absolutely no one likes or even knew on a personal level and said "Because duper had a friend that worked with this guy, he's guilty" and people actually believe a bipolar stalker like zman.

@neoscaperer @ehukuu @bobb4242 zman just brought up some random guy who used to be an admin on breachedforums where duper's friend was an admin on. Said random guy was doing a side hustle that no one on forums staff knew about where he was selling csam and was arrested.
