still absolutely agree with tim's basic assertion, just pointing out that what this looks like in practice raises some interesting theoretical questions

[naomi c @cogarash]

i absolutely agree with this but i also think it's worth examining what gets to be thought of as a more 'invisible' translations as opposed to visible. this often becomes less clear-cut when dealing with culturally specific contexts and terms.

[naomi c @cogarash]

whereas for me and the other east asian translators in the workshop (all native english speakers born and raised in western anglo societies), we did not find it unnatural and as a part of our own native experiences with english, albeit in east asian contexts

@ian_joo_korea Anecdotally, my Korean friends whose names begin with "Hyo" also often encounter Anglophones struggling with or not immediately picking up the [hjo:] pronunciation

[naomi c @cogarash]

@ian_joo_korea I'm not convinced that your average monolingual Anglophone would NOT pronounce Hyogo as [hi. 'o. go] though... But to encounter 'Hyogo' in English already presupposes someone looking more closely at Japan than Tokyo/Kyoto, if that makes sense?

福を逆さにする習慣は確かに中華圏にはあるが、この場合は他の字も判子もはっきり見えるので、中国人ならこう逆にしてしまうはずはないです！中華系人の私にも変に見えます（笑）

Hey @Metrolinx did you know that the address fields for setting up autoload for a Presto card have character limits that make it impossible to enter some addresses accurately? 🤨
