What is the best way to translate a dialect or accent of the original language that is not the norm (e.g., Kansai-ben)?
Different country's English accent (e.g., Irish or Australian)
Different American regional accent (e.g., Southern)
Have the character use different slang (e.g., 'pops' instead of 'dad')
Minor speech pattern differences (e.g., dropping the 'g' in '-ing' words)
No difference in translation but have a translation note
I don't care

On this page: http://www.mangaupdates.com/authors.html?id=1010

It says Tooyama Ema is a MALE mangaka? I haven't found any information to confirm this is true. Could I have a source, please?

Thank you.

I decided to see about searching myself. JP Wikipedia still lists as female. Googling, I could find no results from japanese websites that make reference to her being male.

I listed Tooyama Ema as a female (even Wiki does it) and I even edited her informations at this site. But too bad, many websites have written a rumor that involve that sentence "Recently, in 2012, it is revealed that Ema Tooyama is actually a guy" or something like that.

Yeah, seems like it was added to TV Tropes and English Wikipedia on the 18th of February, then here. Any references to her being female site those, but there's no news article or anything.

Btw, this is Tooyama Ema on the left:
