Volume 21 recently came out in English. It's a pretty good adaptation and has few changes. However, there is one thing that bothers me. In Shinichi's First Case, he speaks with the man who doesn't know Japanese. However, when it is revealed he does and speaks, they say "he spoke japanese" in english. This makes me wonder how they will handle someone like Jodie who use english with her japanese. Will they reverse it? Any ideas?

Oh dear, that wasn't a smart move on their part. Anyone reading the manga knows that these are made in japan, so they don't mind translations that say "he spoke english" ><
Hopefully they have good luck with the Jodie stuff ><

I hope with Jodie they do Japanese with an Englsih translation or something. I really don't want her to speak Spanish or French. XD

If they say that Jodie and Akai are from MI6, I honestly don't know what I'll do.
Though it would make James Black's personality make a little more sense.

Yeah, James Black will stay the same. But since the Manga keeps the story in Japan, what will happen to Jodie?

Well considering name changes, language changes and everything else they try to explain away - it'll be a miracle if it works out.
Of course I'll just keep buying to see what they do (and to have it in paper - I like paper).

FBI wouldn't be MI6. MI6 is an external military agency, think more CIA
Jodie would be from SOCA (they handle all the organized crime, drug, and stuff) in Britain. Though they're not very well known since they're just formed a few years ago.
They'll probably say she from Scotland Yard (though they're only supposed to operate in London), they're well known enough.

I think they will keep Jodie FBI, as she is still from America. I just wonder what they will do since the story is in english and she speaks english in the japanese version

I read a japanese Manga translated into German, where a person originally speaks German. They made it quite clever I think. They described, he speaks German sometimes, and all what's originally written in German had a different font.....
But I've never seen the German Anime XD
That's a really tough problem to make Conan in English, I think. In Manga it may be no problem, bur in Anime..... I think it will just all be english and there'll be no explanations, just english all the time ^^'
