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

When buying doujinshi from Japan using a shopping service, why do sites like Toranoana and MelonBooks refuse to sell to well-known or big proxy companies?
And also why is it when Yahoo!Japan Auction sellers find out one of their auction items will end up overseas refuse to ship internationally?

(Btw, does anyone know a list of any other online doujinshi stores that don't sell to big shopping proxy companies?)

Speculation: Probably an informal Agreement to prevent them ending up on international News easily.
