Fan translations are unofficial translations of media, such as video games, anime, or manga, created by enthusiasts rather than the original publishers. These translations often arise when content is not available in a specific language, allowing fans to access and enjoy the material. Typically, fan translators work collaboratively, using their language skills and cultural knowledge to convey the original meaning and tone. While fan translations can help broaden the audience for certain works, they may also raise copyright concerns, as they are not authorized by the original creators or companies like Nintendo or Crunchyroll.
