This doesn't really make sense. It's because in Japanese HAIJIN can mean either "poet" or "invalid".

Why is this tagged as ‚untranslated pun‘ when there is a translation?

If it is ‚practically untranslatable‘ then it should be better tagged as ‚untranslatable‘ or ‚untranslatable pun‘ instead...

This sentence was initially added as a translation of sentence #1166306小学校低学年の頃、僕は父に俳句を教えられ、俳人に憧れた。七夕の願い事も「はい人になれますように」と書いた。あれから３０年、願いはかなった。今や僕は紛れもない廃人だ。.

When I was in my first years of grade school, my father taught me a haiku and I longed to be a poet. On my Tanabata wish, I also wrote "Please make me a poet". Thirty years have passed and my wish has been granted. I am without doubt an invalid.

➜ #3531194Quando ero nei miei primi anni di scuola elementare, mio padre mi ha insegnato un haiku e desideravo essere un poeta. Nel mio desiderio di Tanabata, ho anche scritto "Per favore, fammi un poeta". Sono passati trent'anni e il mio desiderio è stato esaudito. Sono senza dubbio un invalido.
