  • Ok” vs. “Okay”. Always write as Okay.
  • Super Chat” should always be capitalized in this way; in either singular or plural form as appropriate.
  • hololive” and "hololive production" should always be uncapitalized, as it is the way that is officially spelled.

  • Gen vs Generation: Both of these are okay, pick whichever fits best on a case-by-case basis.
  • Viewers vs. Listeners: when the VTuber is referring to the people watching.

Swear words

Is case by case, so left to the translator's discretion. But as a general rule, use them sparingly as English swears can be harsh. TLC can provide a second opinion.

Exceptions

If the talent is quoting English text that appears on screen, consider using that text rather than the guidelines.

For example, see this video for Pekora quoting “OK!” as it appears on screen.
