I translate Japanese for a living - mostly otome games, PC/console games, and sometimes anime. The type of translation I do is called "localization" and it means making the English version of the game or anime sound like it was originally written in English, rather than sound like it's a translation.
In this video, I use an excerpt from an actual otome game I've translated to show the difference between translation and localization.
