"non-good translators note" still good every-once-in-a-while
knowing someone else reaction and comparing it to your is refreshing.

YES YES YES YES YES YES! If MD has a fav system I'd fav this right here.

If it's not in raws, it does not belong on a page! The only exceptions is the things that were in raws but were lost! This does not include commentary and things explaining what should be interpreted from context.

Now. WALL OF SHAME!

@ryouhira that's what comments are for, tbh...

Also, it loses its effect when it's every damn panel, as is becoming more and more popular
It just sounds like it's been translated by 11 year olds

I don't mind a funny quip now and then, but "omg, she looks so beautiful in that dress", or "leave our boy alone *angry face*" is clearly not needed

Tbh, I think this is the most important chapter here
Even if any of the rest of the team insist on adding these notes (sometimes all of them do), it's the tss letting them get away with it by adding them in

I've been a translator for quite some time but I haven't involved myself in typesetting as I should have back then, reading this guide helped me understand a lot about this, thank you!
