E04: "Translating Treasures" - Rebecca Capowski Answers my Burning Questions about Phantasy Star, Lunar, and Japanese

Rebecca Capowski has contributed mightily to English-speaking fandom for Phantasy Star and Lunar (among other series) by translating and analyzing many Japanese texts from both these amazing (but limited) gaming universes.

She is JLPT certified, credited as contributor to SEGA's Phantasy Star Online 2 English release, and she's got searing insight on the nature of Japanese-to-English translation. If you ever learned some basic Japanese because of videogames, you'll enjoy her ProTips and perspective of gaming localizations.

And she's a fabulous writer, which I probably don't do full justice too with my one-take reading of our email interview.
