やるだけやれる is an interesting inversion of やれるだけやる
for the latter, ability is the limiter, so it's like "I'll do what I can" / "I'll try my best"
The former is more about the opportunity, like "(Now) I can give it everything I've got."

The variability of good 'ol 仕方がない. In cases like this, it takes on a kind of "it's only natural" (当然だ) vibe in English.

Great to see more Japanese words entering the Oxford English Dictionary. It has been pretty standard to use "senpai" for years in anime translation (it can be a pain to write around), and I've long used "yōkai" as well ("monster" often a poor substitute).

That moment when you go from "194.1" to "185.1" in the next page and only 15 pages later did you realize you misnumbered everything...

Time for a little pre-translation reading, @JoGustawsson @OrendaBooks @west_camel #amtranslating #Scarsofsilence
I usually use (s) whenever I’m not sure if “1” is an option, but it might be safer to just go with the plural to avoid the unnatural appearance of “catch(es)” #amtranslating
Time for a bit of a change. Goodbye @givemeawave… hello @thewarrinerd 😉

Dorfromantik has been on my wishlist for a while. I finally bought it on a whim and I'm in love. The music is so mellow, and it's a nice little break from translating every once in a while these days

Well, that's a wrap on translating season 2 of #OshiNoKo! It was a fun rollercoaster of a season. I'll likely be back again for season 3. #AmTranslating
