What is really the line between censorship and localization? It can be hard to tell. On this HeadCanon Busters I share my take on the difference and my opinion on if censorship has a place. Please remember, these are my opinions and that I do understand a great deal of censorship is legislated. For example explicit depictions of dismemberment and inner organs in videogames is illegal in Japan.
Also checkout Legends of Localization's Earthbound analysis it has many examples of good localization, bad localization and censorship. It will give you a better idea of the difficulties that come with translating and localizing.
