Entry level jobs in the entertainment industry don't pay well because there are so many people willing to take those jobs for low pay, and I reckon it's the same with translators and interpretors. Still, it doesn't change the fact that they often stink.
About
This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.
It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.

For those who have watched it, I'm sure you noticed that the Yankees made sure to get a hold of a competent translator, especially after the pathetic job that Matsuzaka's translator did. Not only did the translator do a good job of "translating" but he also elaborated the questions / answers to convey the actual meaning of the answers (something that often gets lost in translation).
I know, talking about the translators is not for this forum. But, it just annoys me to see that 95% of the translators that are used (including those that help during the "hero interviews" in Japan), speak English as well as a student in his first Nova class.
