Trying to prevent some sort of western style gentrification? How come japan doesn’t have this problem?
replies(1):
But japan is a good example- maybe that's what you're driving at - because the language is full of english loan words. That's a big part of what the katakana characters are for - fitting predominantly English words into the japanese syllables.
トイレ
ミーティング
ダンス
パーティ
フライドポテト
Etc. As you say, it doesn't impact the culture.
At the point where the game was supposed to handle CONTINUE, the comment was CONTINEKU. Another one was METARU GERU SORIDU (or GIRU, don't remember). and more than that... all in all though even with word-by-word translation I was able to get through (we were only 3 "interns" working on the project + our boss (lead)).
Also learned how well "C" can be written :)
