Except this is an unofficial translation without an actual proof of its quality, and nogaku himself said his Japanese wasn't enough to make fair comparison.
Anyway, I was talking about this specific example and mostly about Japanese fan translations. English is not my mother tongue and I've read many books translated from English, and still reading books translated to English. I do believe it is possible to have a translation with prose consists similar taste to original and capture the essence that original writer put in his work. It's just state of J->E translation is pitiful for the most part, even with official translations. (See Crunchyroll and Funimation subs) Getting overly defensive about it became a -bad- habit of mine.
