Re: writing non english dialouge

[(Anonymous)]

On AO3, I've seen people write the dialogue in the non-English language, but then if you hover over it with your mouse a translation pops up.

Otherwise, I just skip over it yeah. I don't eve. Bother reading the translation, because by that point I've forgotten the context.

Unless I'm working in 1st person or 3rd person limited and the POV character doesn't speak the language (and thus it isn't necessary to understand the story), I do hover-over translation.

I feel that anything else takes a reader too far out of the story.
