Sometimes I find (insert name here) Scanlations.
Sometimes I find (insert name here) Translations.

What's the difference? Does the Translations group mean they only translate? How come?

And sometimes you find "Fansubs".

Noobs aren't up to speed on the lingo, that's all it means. Unfortunately, if their group name sticks around, the result is that the meaning of the original terminology begins to shift, creating confusion.

It seems that 90% of the people don't care as long as they get to read the comic, so my guess is no one really pays attention to the name. As long as the comic looks good, does the rest even matter?

Translaslations only translate manga of already existing raws or whatever the source is, but do NOT scan it.

Scanlations translate AND do scanning of manga, it's pretty easy to comprehend the difference.

That's an assumption based on the meaning of the terms, while the original question was about how things really work.
