Re: Chinese chapters

我得說，我們真的須要一個大陸人來湊成一組完整的中文翻譯小組呢... Wink

香港、台灣二地皆得，現在只差大陸人而已了。

I gotta say, we really need a Mainland Chinese to form a complete set of Chinese translators. Wink

Since now we have a Taiwanese and a Hong Konger.

其實只有你就夠了，因為我不是台灣生的人。我的中文知識都是從漫畫和父母學的。
最近我也有跟在台灣見的熟人交換電郵，所以有時候會有機會持續練習。。。

but yeah i think you alone would be sufficient Razz

I would love to try and improve myself though. hope this works out

Yeah, I'm pretty good when it comes to finding stuff online.

Well, shiningshinka could handle the Chinese translations for a while now that Max is busy for the moment. Dreamingflower, can you give shiningshinka a TLer emblem?

Should we try to get more Chinese translators? Dreamingflower could maybe make posts in these recruitment threads and say that we now need Chinese and French translators / translation checkers.

I'll send the latest version of the raws to your e-mail with the QC correction list.

It's not that hard to find things online with Google xD I don't mind.

All right, I will try and help out with what I can. Just send me the stuff if you want to.

The first two chapters have been translated.

by **shiningshinka** Wed Jun 19, 2013 5:05 am

The Quote function doesn't seem to work well for me because I can't get my message to be outside the box even when I press enter. >_>

All right, so I should look at the first Meloetta chapter?

Edit: Whoa, simplified Chinese. I'll try and see what I can do...

Click the quote button, copy the quote, delete the quote, hit enter two times, move up to the beginning, paste the quote and move down.

We have translated the first Meloetta chapter. Other than that I have lost track of the Chinese magazine chapters. Chapter 39 and 44 has been translated, but I guess that doesn't help much. Max has posted links to the translations in this thread, so if you Ctrl + F and search for mediafire you should find it quite quickly and be able to figure out what has been translated.
We would also need to get the chapters translation checked before they can be released, but it's better if the final version is translation checked, since these are earlier versions before quality checking, if I remember correctly.

by **MaxCheng95** Wed Jun 19, 2013 6:02 am

第一篇Meloetta我以經翻過，以經typeset好了。我現在也正在翻譯第二篇。 Smile

現在我們以知的中文版全部都是簡體字，因為它們都是由大陸的雜誌所連載。你看得懂簡體嗎?

EDIT:對了，雖然原版是簡體，但是我翻譯過後的文檔是用繁體寫成的。 Smile

I looked at the mediafire link that Max posted. The 10-32 one, right? I'm looking at this: http://www.jb2448.info/Fanart/New-chapters/34-1071614418 and that wasn't in the document. If this hasn't been done, I'll start here.

By chapter, do you mean pages? 44 chapters would be a lot o_O.

... Oh wait, I was looking at the second Meloetta chapter to begin with. No wonder I was so confused. Oops.

Edit: Just saw Max's post. I can read a little bit of Simplified, but I usually just look up the words I can't read and translate that to Traditional.
I'm looking at the second Meloetta chapter now. Do you want to try that instead? Maybe you can look at what I did and see if it's accurate.

by **Manga Reader X** Wed Jun 19, 2013 6:28 am

The chapters that have been done is chapter 39 of the BW arc and chapter 44 of the BW arc. We have Chinese raws for two other Chinese chapters that I have forgotten the chapter numbers to. Two Chinese chapters are untranslated, that's all.

EDIT:
I have looked through the RAWs and compared them to the two scanlated chapters and it seems like the only chapter that's unscanlated is infact the chapter you linked to (+ half of another chapter which I believe is covered in a scanlations of a French chapter).

by **shiningshinka** Wed Jun 19, 2013 6:37 am

Not sure if double posting is allowed... but here is what I have so far.

Max, tell me if that sentence about Meloetta forgetting its own melody makes sense, please. Smile

Or just correct me where I am wrong in general.

We don't have any forum rules. Everyone double posts around here. It's a good way to update stuff since it gets everyone else's attention.

XD we're very soft on the rules I guess. Since it
s supposed to me normal that people know how to behave. :3

Nice shiningshinka, you're quite fast. I can typeset the chapter when you finished and after the cleaning is done (If cleaning in necessary)

by **shiningshinka** Thu Jun 20, 2013 7:36 am

Heh, I'm sure Max is faster. He sent me a message yesterday about pages 34 and 35 to clean up a little bit of what I wrote/translated. Maybe I'll post that here after everything is done

by **Dreamingflower** Thu Jun 20, 2013 7:38 am

It's better if you write it down on word and then upload it on mediafire.

by **shiningshinka** Thu Jun 20, 2013 7:39 am

All right, I will make a mediafire account later.

by **Manga Reader X** Thu Jun 20, 2013 7:44 am

I haven't looked too closely at the scans, but if they are anything like the two previous chapters cleaning is recommended. These low resolution JPGs are quite blurry in some places.
some is taking care of cleaning the two earlier Chinese chapters, by the way.

I would recommed that you put the translations in Google documents on Google Drive. That way you can update the translations directly anytime.

All right, that should be fine. I have Google Drive so I'll do it soon.

by **shiningshinka** Fri Jun 21, 2013 7:33 am

I'm done! Tell me what you think.

I just finished reading and well it looks very good. Thought, I think it'd be better to change some words. Barbara is addressed as this wicked guy in some pages, but a Vullaby is 100% female, so I think we should change it into girl. As for using wicked, if you're not comfortable, then how about using natures, like naughty, sassy or rash?

你當然可以校正! 我相信你能把文法搞好。

Yeah, I think you should change some words. The natures actually make a lot more sense... didn't think about that.

Here is what Max sent me for pages 34 and 35 as part of the edits:
Yeah, using "But" instead of "Because" for the first line would be better. I didn't know why the magazine wrote 因為
34頁

B: But..but...that was the guitarist's dream for his life!

He has been playing here the whole time so one day he can play with Meloetta!

He had waited his entire life for this day...

...and his hand are injured...

G: Yeah, there may not be another chance if we missed it...

Be able to listen to this improvised performance is already enough for me...

35頁

B: I know it's nothing compared to his performance...

But I'll try my best anyway!

So this is it?

"Relic Song"...

This score looks really old...

G: My mother cherished it very much, she left it to me when she passed away...

"Play it with Meloetta, if you have the chance to meet her!" she said...

She also said, "Meloetta had forgotten her melody when the world was covered with deep sorrow."

I began playing guitar when she told me those.
