Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Examples of Gratuitous English in Web Original include:

  • Menelaos from Greek Ninja speaks English by making direct translations from Greek, which of course results in terrible mistakes and people not understanding him. Eleonora often takes the role of the translator between him and the rest of the world, having full knowledge of both languages.
  • France Five, despite being a French series, shares the love of Gratuitous English of the Sentai shows they parody.
  • The Japanese and Chinese versions of Wikipedia leave some of the MediaWiki namespace names untranslated from the default English: here's jawiki's and zhwiki's Special:AllPages lists with all the namespace names.
