There's a balance to be made, but that balance is like 30% translation and 70% localization. There's a reason that the Woolsey Square games and the Working Design scripts are so memorable and beloved other than by the crazies. Any translation that is 100% literal is going to be embarrassingly terrible.

However, that doesn't means you should do things like add Doge memes into Zelda or remove entire conversations between 2 ninjas in Fire Emblem because "it's funny that their support convo is just '...' because they're NINJAS, see?"

Treehouse was having some problems in the 3DS days, lol.
