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

The manga seems to be highly praised, but quite frankly, the translation for chapter one was god-awful. And I notice they're translating from chinese raws which makes me even more skeptical. Does the quality improve? There's potential here, but bad English is one of my biggest pet peeves with scanlated manga, so I might pass if it's more of the same going forward.

From what I remember only the first three chapters were from Chinese raws and had a somewhat unbalanced English translation. It should be better after that.

Thanks, that's all I needed to hear. I'll stick with it.
