snowlightI used to write Chinese Sherlock fics that had English dialogue in them.
Now that I'm reading Hanzo-related Overwatch fics, I'm seeing just one too many English fics with Japanese words peppered throughout. Half of the time, it ain't even the right words. As in, yeah I'm sure Google Translate told you A=B, but it's not the same thing at all. (Fine, I know not everybody is a translator, but...professional pet peeve, I suppose.)
