The problem is that TVN relies on the viewer knowing Japanese for some things (Like greetings and goodbyes, thanking a server for food, or whatever doesn't have a direct English translation for the specific word or phrase).

Except that's an unacceptable practice. Approximations have to be made just because one language doesn't have a direct word-for-word translation for the other.
It ruins the point of a translation when you don't actually translate. It's not "Making up a new phrase", it's using the closest approximation of the original phrase's meaning.
