Splatfest dialogue translation
Hey, it looks like you re-added your removed English translation of the Japanese announcement dialogue for Nessie vs. Aliens vs. Bigfoot. Reverting such edits is not allowed unless you've discussed with others on if the removed information is OK to re-add, or you're able to prove the information's accuracy. In your case, the translation was removed for being very low quality. In my non-expert opinion, the translation you provided seems to be full of mistakes, bordering on a machine translation; we have many experienced translators working on Inkipedia, so it's best to leave the translation field blank and wait for someone else to complete it rather than fill them with a machine translation. Please try to not do this again. Thanks! Yoshifan52 (talk) 01:38, 31 March 2023 (UTC)


 * Oh, sorry for that! I didn't know what I was doing, and my internet keeps getting down. Thanks for letting me know! Hyper Princess (talk) 03:04, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure what internet would have to do with it. On your userpage you say you speak Japanese, but looking at the "translations" you added makes me, honestly, a bit skeptical of that claim... Or are you relying solely on online dictionaries to find out the meanings of words (instead of any of your own knowledge), which leads to very incorrect translations? This is especially true in the context of this game, since Splatoon features a lot of coined & domain-specific language; Google Translate and similar don't know what to do with it in the slightest. Machine translation is bad in general, and especially bad for this game. We have multiple people on the wiki who have been doing translation for the series for years (since 2015!) – and temporarily having no translation is better than filling an article with egregious errors (particularly for popular pages with high viewcounts for current in-game events). If you could hold off and let others provide these translations going forward that would be great. –Eli (talk) 04:24, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
