Quote from Highway-STAR

I don't really care much. A good storyteller should be able to tell a story without sounds or dialogue anyway.

Well said...
But a good story is exponentially enhanced with sounds and dialogues. 😃 🙂

...

Is there any Manga with no Dialouges 😕 😕 ??

I'm no weeaboo, so I'd prefer having them in English. Though, I don't really care about a trivial issue such as this.

@Selenium: Yes, there are.

Little little and Akazukin to Yasashii Ookami are examples.

I like to get them but i perfer when the translation gets relegated to the margin.

I prefer to see them in Japanese and English, because Japanese SFXs confuse me, so it's good practice for me to see them and become familiar with new sounds.

The english can be in a regular font outside the panel, or it can be in a font to match the japanese one.

I don't like it when SFXs are completely erased and replaced because 1) like I said before, it's good practice for me to see em in Japanese, and 2) it takes time to clean all the SFXs from a chapter well, and that will delay the release.

That all being said, I don't mind if they're not translated. What I mentioned is just my preference ^^

I don't care, if it's there, then cool, if not, oh well, I can use my head and figure it out...or just plain ignore them because really, it's not THAT big of a deal to a manga.
It's a pain to edit out and a pain to translate them, and I understand that so I don't really care for them.

I like it is they can substitute the Japanese with good English with font that fits, or at least put in a note by the frame. SFX is also a part of the manga, and I doubt I'm alone with not knowing all of them.

It shouldn't just be placed on top though, replaced or with a side note. It's usually easier to just add a note, preferably with the Japanese signs as well so you can link them together easier and perhaps start learning them.

Sometimes it's possible to add a translation right next to the original SFX, which looks kinda good. But it's not often it works without messing up the picture.

This life sucked. Where's the reset button?

Personally, I don't really care~
If there's English translations, awesome.
If there isn't, meh.

really depends on how they do it, i personally prefer the
SFX:________ in the corners so it doesn't block the picture

For scanlations made for free viewing, I can understand if the translators and editors don't want to take the effort of translating/cleaning/typesetting in the SFX. It's nice if the translation is placed prettily next to the Japanese SFX, though.
For published ones that I buy, it irritates me when the SFX are not translated at all. Or just one or two randomly translated throughout the manga because it's like I just paid for something that's not even finished being edited and translated. And the quality of the redrawing has to be good, too. If I'm going to pay for it, I don't want it to be crappy.

I've always felt that SFX should remain in their original form. They just aren't the same if they are translated over or redone in English. Translations in the margins is alright, but I really like none what so ever.

Quote from Hostile

I always preferred having the translation of the SFX below the original panel (also loved it when they put translation notes there, too).

I completely agree. Might as well - all that free space! XD

A manga without SFX seems like a silent film to me...
SFX, I feel, help give manga a cinematic flair.

Katakana is one of the first parts of Japanese that I learned, just so I could read Japanese SFX. That's how much I care about SFX in manga.

I also tend to prefer SFX in katakana, as they're much more versatile than English SFX, so it really bothers me when scanlators and official releases decide to remove SFX in favor of English ones.
Katakana SFX can have more subtlety to them... while English SFX are typically far too cartoony sounding.

There's also the idea of preserving the art & styling of the original SFX lettering... which is another good reason to keep the original katakana in-tact.

I would prefer to have sfx translated for the sake of completeness, but only if the cost of doing that is negligible. And since that cost is never negligible, I would say screw them. The only exception is when an sfx is integral to understanding what is going on in the panel.

Personally, I never translate sfx, and I've yet to see a single complaint. In some manga, I translate sfx only if they're inside bubbles, and it's such a chore that I would recommend that other translators don't do it.
