    I'd agree, in most cases.

    This, though, was the first page I saw. One phrase on it, and it's the sell-page. That's a bit more severe to me than a mid-chapter flub.

    Even great translators make typos and other little mistakes, though. If the whole manga is littered with errors like that, then sure, it's probably also a problem with the translator. But a single instance doesn't say anything about how well they can translate as a whole.

    For example, I'm not about to write off Crunchyroll's translations of Shugo Chara just because of this.

    Seems like OneManga has these sort of translation problems more often than not.

    I don't particularly feel like going into the semantics of who's the bigger idiot on that account. Sure, the editor should see crap like this, but if you're translating something that means 'evidence' into 'evidence', why in the blue hell would you spell it 'evidents'?

    My point mostly is that if you are translating anything and the language you are translating to is your first language, and you do this kind of stupidity, you should probably reexamine yourself.

    If it's your second language, I can understand the phonetic failure and forgive it, and then rip the editor's butt off all over again.

    Seems more like an editing and QC fail to me. It's still obvious what it's supposed to mean.

    The big "Q.E.D." under "evidents" had me cracking up so much.

    What does it say about me that I read that over three times before my brain properly displayed the fault there?

    I mean seriously.

    The only thing that's evident is the evidence that they don't even understand their own language.
