Translator Resigns From Cipher Academy Manga, Citing Translation Difficulty - Anime News Network - Translation

NisiOisin might have gone too far this time with the wordplay

Monogatari author NisiOisin is well known for writing stories with intricate wordplay, but he might have gone too far this time. Manga translator Kumar Sivasubramanian announced on his Twitter account on Sunday that he will stop translating NisiOisin and artist Yūji Iwasaki's Cipher Academy (Angō Gakuen no Iroha) manga after its 13th chapter. As for the reason, he linked a Screen Rant article, which describes the manga as "impossible to translate."

The article cites a lipogram challenge in chapter 10 where the characters quote Shonen Jump manga using only specific Japanese syllables as a particularly difficult passage to adapt. The English translation transliterates the syllables, then provides a translation of the meaning in brackets. Notably, despite the frequent Japanese wordplay and puzzles in the manga, the English translation did not resort to transliteration until chapter 10, opting to adopt the format of the puzzles with English wordplay instead.

Many fans have replied to Sivasubramanian's tweet thanking him for his hard work and sympathizing with the translation difficulties.

Viz Media and MANGA Plus published the 12th chapter in English on Sunday. Sivasubramanian noted that a replacement translator has already been arranged. The publishers have not announced any delays.

MANGA Plus describes the story:

Iroha is an average student newly enrolled in Cipher Academy, a Spartan school where students must crack code after code after code with barely enough time to catch their breath! Then a mysterious person named Kogoe gives Iroha an unusual pair of glasses with a crazy secret behind them!

Author NisiOisin (Monogatari series, Medaka Box, Juni Taisen: Zodiac War) and artist Yūji Iwasaki launched the manga in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine's 51st issue on November 21. Iwasaki has previously published one shots on Shonen Jump+ and in Shonen Jump GIGA.

FONO (Muzzillo Dictionary of Terms) - Promo Marketing - Promo Marketing - Dictionary

FONO. Do you know what that is?

We’ve all heard about FOMO, “Fear of Missing Out.”

But FONO is a different fear. FONO is “Fear of No.”

FONO is the No. 1 reason most people never get wealthy in this business. It’s the No. 1 reason why some people fail in this business.

The “fear of no” creates call reluctance. We all have call reluctance. I do. You do. We all do. No one enjoys rejection. The problem with FONO and call reluctance is that we typically aren’t mentally aware of when we are having it. It is very subtle. You are experiencing FONO when you postpone calling for appointments, reaching out to friends for referrals, calling previous customers to ask for more business, etc. For many different reasons, such as wasting time on social media, doing tasks that you should be delegating, or checking the news.

FONO and call reluctance are very subtle. But they keep most of us from the success we want in our lives and in our business.

Here are three tips for overcoming FONO:

  1. Recognize that FONO is real and when you are postponing making the calls you need to make.
  2. Know your why — your reason for wanting to be successful in your life and business. Create a dream board and put it on your desk, in your car, on your bathroom mirror, and more.
  3. Have an accountability partner. The right activities will get you the right results. The right accountability partner can help you be sure you are doing the right activities.

You can be as successful as your dream ... if you just conquer FONO.

Kylian Mbappe's translated message mentions Manchester United again as Qatar takeover mystery continues - United In Focus - Manchester United FC News - Translation

There has been something odd with Kylian Mbappe’s messages on Instagram over the past few days, with Manchester United’s name popping up when you click ‘translate’.

This was the case again on Sunday after Paris Saint-Germain’s dramatic 4-3 over Lille, in which Lionel Messi struck an injury-time winner.

Mbappe sent a message which in French read “LA RAGE DE VAINCRE…🔴🔵 @psg“.

But when you click ‘Translate to English’, the message transforms into something else entirely, with Manchester United popping up.

There is confusion around why Kylian Mbappe’s messages appear this way. Just putting in a red and blue dot does not generate the word Manchester United, while nor does ‘@psg’.

The one notable connection comes via the word on Mbappe’s chest on his PSG kit… Qatar.

Manchester United are subject of a bid from Qatari investor Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad bin Jaber Al Thani.

While he or his Nine Two Foundation has no apparent connection to PSG owners QSI or the Qatari royal family, this all seems a little coincidental.

Is Kylian Mbappe coming to Manchester United any time soon? Probably not, but we can dream of what an attack featuring the French striker and Marcus Rashford might look like.
