how do you know what translations are accurate?

[konohayouknowha]

There are such big differences in manga translations. It's not only confusing but can drastically change how the story is meant to read or be read by the reader. Anyone know which are truly accurate translations?

If you read & understand japanese?

 

[The God of Wind]

The official translations from VIZ Manga are the most accurate, I would say about 99%. That's the best you can get but you have to pay for a subscription.

 

[Sabuto Hayashi]

Not all translations are 100% accurate, but I think Viz and some of the later releases of chapters are the most accurate.

They have more time to make sure the translation means exactly what it was intended to. The first release of a new chapter is usually filled with small translation errors because the group translating it only have a day or two to do it.

Wait till the Viz Media Translations come out.

Mangapanda make mistakes here and there. *********** is alright.. but eh.. We get the gist of what they're talking about, so basically, reading comprehension skills will come in handy.

honestly this is the right answer

 

[Trippy Sage of all Dank]

read multiple websites' manga uploads. My routine is check mangahere/mangapanda for the earliest possible Naruto release, then a few hours later *********** releases the best quality picture/translation.

You can buy the Current Jump Issue separately. You don't really need a subscription.

Thanks guys. I think a lot of disagreements and arguments are over these misunderstandings of the different versions.

 

[vicdrucker]

If you want the best translation in my opinion, go to ***********.

 

[The God of Wind]

You can buy the Current Jump Issue separately. You don't really need a subscription.

You can buy the volumes separately, not a current or old issue, for those you need a subscription.
