"Thank you for the food" is perfectly acceptable.
Asking for a "better" translation than that is like asking for a translation of "that's what she said!" that encapsulates the idea of an inside joke while simultaneously providing all the requisite cultural and historical knowledge to find the particular usage humorous.

I guess, but the meaning behind
>Eet smakelijk
>Guten apetit
>Bon Appetit
is more;
>Let's have a delicious meal!
There's no actual translation for it in English.
Same for itadakimasu.
Personally, I think that
>Thank you for the meal.
would be best.
>>137675846
>Let's have a delicious meal!
I've always thought it's more like wishing someone to enjoy their meal, the speaker meaning to eat too or not being irrelevant. (I'm not a native speaker of either Dutch, German, French, or English)
>>137675846
Bon appetit=enjoy the meal (people saying this to just themselves is an Americanism), also Bon appetit is a loan-phrase, so that's English translation.
Regardless, the translation for those phrases in English would be "Let's have a delicious meal!" or "Let's eat!". That's the actual translation. Those are the "word[s] for it" in English.
The question you're actually trying to ask is "Why doesn't [ENGLISH SPEAKING CULTURE] wish people a good appetite/thank life in general before eating?" because the missing contextual meaning between "itadakimasu" and "Thank you for the food" is strictly cultural.

But it doesn't feel like that though. Most of the asian countries usually have a itadakimasu equivalent in their own language. It's similar to my local language's "ka on ta" which transliterally means "lets eat everyone" but isn't perceived as. It's more of an announcement that you're gonna eat weather or not you're inviting everyone to eat.
>>137676223
>"lets eat everyone"
creepy
>>137669842
Well "sankyuu" is engrish and English speakers also like to say "thank you" in other languages. I would propose "gracias" as the most accurate translation.
>>137676285
Yeah maybe it does sound a bit creepy to an outsider but the meaning starts to shift to itadakimasu instead of the literal meaning.
It sounded better in my head it actually sounds a lot closer to "everyone, let's eat."
>>137676336
>>137675837

>>137676505
Do you understand that "thank you" is not Japanese? Saying "thank you" for them is equivalent to an English speaker saying "gracias" or "danke".

>>137669842
Remember the way that the official subs for Log Horizon rendered "Homesteading the Noosphere" as "Novasphere Pioneers"? It's far from the worst mistake I've seen, but still probably the most infuriating.
I think an appropriate translation for someone exiting with a flourish saying "sarabada!" would be "Sayonara!".

Other options:
1. "Thank you"
Wrong. Does not translate to thank you as it is not Japanese.
2. "Thank you. TN: English"
TN is out of fashion since 2007
3. "Sankyuu"
Confusing, I'm sure there are some people who wouldn't 'get' this first time and would assume its a word that's been left untranslated for some reason
4. "Gracias/arigatou/danke" etc
My personal favorite, and I find it funny, but especially confusing to people who don't actively think about the thought process behind fansubs ('why does it say gracias? they didn't say that!')
>>137676574

How is "thank you" in English not translated to thank you in English?
>>137677537
>How is "thank you" in English not translated to thank you in English?
I know where you're coming from but no, that is not translation. Look up the definition of translation
>>137677537
Because in the context of the original language they aren't using "thank you" they are using a foreign synonym. At best translators should just leave it unsubbed 'cause it's retarded to sub something that's in the intended audience's native language. But if you MUST sub it, then the most fitting way to do it is to use a synonym that's also foreign to the audience, as it creates the same effect the "sankyuu" has on the original material.
>>137677701
Why should they translate it then?
It's already in the intended language.
>>137677732
I mostly agree with >>137677708

>>137677708

Alright. Henceforth, i'll always translate "sankyuu" with "gracias". Thanks man.
>>137677708
>At best translators should just leave it unsubbed 'cause it's retarded to sub something that's in the intended audience's native language
That always wigs me out when suddenly something isn't subbed though. It's like a step in a staircase being unexpectedly higher.
What's with these fucking series always throwing in sankyuu anyways?
>>137677708
So if anything is said in english, it must be subbed in some obscure language? Or, even better, as ineligible garbage if protagonist doesn't know english!
They don't say "thank you" to show off their mad foreign language skills; "sankyu" just became a part of japanese, same as dozens of other appropriated words in any other language.

>>137678299
That's the same as an english speaker saying Arigatou or Gracias in an affectionate way. They aren't doing it to show off they're linguistic skills. It's either because they're autistic or annoying respectively.
>>137677708
No, it's a fucking loan word.
If you were subbing an English show into some other language, you wouldn't come up with some retarded foreign language substitute because they said "karaoke."
>>137677220
Why not make it "thanks"?
>>137674328
Someone needs to sub it as that. I'd literally start peeing.
>>137678611
It is NOT a loan word.
I can't even write a single sentence in niptalk and can tell you this. A loan word would be something like "pisutoru" for pistol, or karaoke in english. Those are loan words because there are no pre-existent words to fill that meaning. "sankyuu" is a foreign-ism or however the fuck you say it. It's a hip-talk type thing, the original language already has a perfectly usable word with the same meaning that's very commonly used.
Not the same thing.
>>137678611
I seriously feel like subbers are too stubborn and autistic to transliterate loanwords. They pull something out of their ass even when the loanword is used in the original context.
>>137678960
Why can't they just translate "sankyu" as "Thank you" or "thanks"? Will it kill them to do so?
>>137669842
I never thought I'd find a relevant time to post this.
>>137678299
>Will you also sub every use of OK as "si"?

Nice double standards. Also why pick gracias/danke for thank you? If you're going to be retarded, why not go all the way? Pick something like "enkosi" or "u leboha" which google tells me is thank you on some languages you and I have never even heard of. This would surely display your translating prowess over those EOP plebs.

>>137680322
Tell me the last time you heard someone say that irl and not want to punch his/her face.
There are some words that can be left in Japanese or have nothing written there, because amongst people who watch Japanese media, the original term is more commonly used than whatever the translation is. For instance itadakimasu or henshin.
Also it's uneccessary, when a character speaks another character's name, to have a line in the subtitles with only the name in it. I do not need to have "Shu..." written across the bottom of my screen with no other text included, because I can clearly hear it anyway. When a character screams I don't expect the subtitles to read "AAAAHHHHHH!" so why include subtitled text in other places it's not needed?

No, I don't think you understand. There are English words that are used normally in Japan.
Especially to the teenagers, its a completely natural conversational Japanese thing to say.
I hope that OP's picture really is a joke, if not, I really question their Japanese.
Maybe they didn't learn it in their Japanese course in school, but that's because those retarded classes only teach business(proper) Japanese.

>>137680333
>>137680340
Nah, dude. According to some other Anons in this thread, it's wrong to translate thank you with thank you. Because it's not thank you, when a Nipp says thank you. Apparently it's like an American saying gracias/danke. So you'll either leave it untranslated and deal with the butthurt people asking why it wasn't translated or you just use a loanword.

Those are fine. There might be very little to keep them in, but there's no reason to keep them in.
When people watch things with subs, sometimes they focus too much on subs and can sometimes be too dependent on the subs, and its never bad to take account of those people.
I guess you can take out the screams, I haven't really subbed anything or seen things subbed that just wrote AAAAAAAH
