(as if anyone's reading this)<br /><br />Translation turns out to be much harder than I first expected.<br /><br />At first I thought Japanese Names (+already translated into Chinese) would be the hardest. I also expected a certain portion in Book 4 to blow my mind. I am not there yet, but even when I reach there, I won't be telling you.<br /><br />But turns out there are many more troubles. Chinese doesn't have tenses and subject-verb agreement, so grammar is needed. Some sentences are also structured differently. &quot;I ate food just now&quot; and &quot;Just now, I ate food&quot; are both legit for English, but for Chinese only the latter (i.e. time before the action) is allowed. Things like this are hard too.<br /><br />I don't understand how duelnoir used to send out such a long entry every week. They're amazing.<br /><br />Right my rant is kinda over. I might post again in 1/2 week(s).<br /><br />See you!&nbsp;<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=tarliqua&ditemid=690" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments https://tarliqua.dreamwidth.org/690.html irrelavant public 0 https://tarliqua.dreamwidth.org/356.html Mon, 23 Jul 2018 13:03:23 GMT https://tarliqua.dreamwidth.org/356.html The subject is essentially what I want to know too.<br /><br />I'd like to help in translating Danganronpa: Kirigiri to English since no one's continuing on it. There are, however, people who have translated parts of it. An almost full translation of book 1 can be found <a href="https://duelnoir.dreamwidth.org/4362.html">here</a>. And a rough summary of&nbsp;book 1 and chapters 1-3 of book 2 can be found <a href="http://great-blaster.tumblr.com/post/61922209315/so-i-got-the-danganronpa-kirigiri-novel">here</a>.&nbsp;<br /><br />But, (at least currently), you should have went to both before you see this post/account.&nbsp;<br /><br />Even though I'm (going to try) trying to translate a Japanese novel to English, I actually do not understand Japanese. Fortunately, there already exists a Chinese translation <a href="http://fraha.lofter.com/post/25d02b_1207c557">here</a>. I will be using that to translate the novel to English instead (while enjoying it at the same time, hopefully)<br /><br /><div>I'm new to translating, but please feel free to correct me on some translations. I'm also not likely to have a fixed schedule, so please don't rush me for translations.<br /><br />Hopefully you will enjoy the novel! (If I actually finish it/them.)</div><div>&nbsp;</div>Edit: I'll start work when I have permission to use the translation to translate to English... which should work out.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=tarliqua&ditemid=356" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments https://tarliqua.dreamwidth.org/356.html irrelavant public 0
