I coerced a friend and classmate (who wishes to remain anonymous) into translating my Murakami Bingo comic into Japanese. Big thanks to this mysterious person for her hard work!
The translated version is also available as a poster.
Since the bingo card is a creation of English-speaking cultures (as far as my limited historical knowledge of the game goes), we decided to leave the two game-specific words ("bingo" and "free space") untranslated.
Nice post.I hope this would be translated in Dutch translation.It is important that literature written in a foreign language since it helps one to get acquainted with the thoughts, traditions, principles and actions of the people from the region.
Very nice, but why is "Free Space" still in English?
ReplyDeletehmm I guess "Free space" is untranslatable as it has double meaning...
