Of course, the opposite point of view is localization. FUNimation does it well, Mangastreams does it piss-poorly.

Oda is an author and he when he writes something, he intends it to be read a certain way by viewers. It needs to have a certain tone or connotation. This intend can often be lost with a 100% literal translation.

I'm not here to argue whether the burden of cultural understanding lies with the translators (as AWC suggests) or with the readers (as Hanata suggests). Thank god FUNi does both, by offering dub and sub.
