abadidea<p>do The Youths these days still know about Pokemon Crystal Vietnamese? So called because it was discovered in a market in Vietnam, it's a romhack translation from Japanese to English (presumably before the real English version released), except it seems to have been made entirely on the basis of a Japanese-to-Chinese dictionary and then a Chinese-to-English dictionary. For example, what's semantically quite close to "insert"...? </p><p>(my own screenshots from 2013) </p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/pokemon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pokemon</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/romhack" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>romhack</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/localization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>localization</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/translation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>translation</span></a></p>

Miss Gayle<p>"When they spoke—at meetings, in testimony—they described a neighborhood I don’t recognize: dangerous, unfriendly, high-traffic, unpleasant. They talked about the church as an oasis surrounded by hardship. That’s not true, but to the extent that we believe it, we never seem to stop &amp; ponder our role in it. I live here, but they largely don’t.

Miss Gayle<p>"I feel bombarded by articles on the U.S. housing crisis, which inevitably display suburban tract homes sprawling across the landscape or promote skyscraper apartments instead.
