Additional Context:
A fan of the anime “Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid” has used AI technology to redub an infamous scene from the English dubbed version. This move comes amid growing concerns and debates between fans and Western anime localizers about the quality and accuracy of English localizations and translations in anime and video games.
The infamous scene in “Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid” involves characters Lucoa and Tohru having a back-and-forth conversation. The fan’s AI redub aims to provide a more faithful translation of the original Japanese dialogue, addressing criticisms of the English dub. In recent times, Western localizers have faced backlash from fans who accuse them of politicizing translations and inserting their own views into the content. The use of AI for translations and localizations has been seen as a potential solution to these issues, with some fans preferring more accurate translations, even if it means relying on AI technology.
This development also comes as Western localizers have expressed concerns over job security, with some publishers, like the official Twitter/X account for the manga series “The Ancient Magus Bride,” announcing their reliance on AI translation assistance for simulpub releases. This shift could potentially cut out Western publishers and localizers who have been accused of making erroneous translations and engaging in censorship.
The use of AI in dubbing and localization represents a significant change in the industry, raising questions about the future of human localizers and the quality and authenticity of translations in Western-released anime and video games.
