129 Translation Progress
We have started work on 129 :) I know that this has been translated previously, but I checked in with @staciaanastaciapostsā to see if it was fine for us to do it, and they gave the OK.Ā
Redoing the chapter isnāt a reflection on their skill/past work - but simply something that I wanted to do to help get better at translating. Itās all practice here, and none of us are native speakers, plus these are all fan translations, so itās still a good chance to give it a go. Itāll be interesting to compare the two versions and see what is different (or even how close they are).Ā
Current Progress:
Generate OCR content into docĀ ā Completed by @90percentsa1tā
TranslateĀ ā About to start, fixing up some characters that didnāt scan
Proof reading
Cleaning/Redrawing
Typesetting
Quality CheckĀ
Release
I mentioned before that sometimes OCR doesnāt work, and this chapter is a good example of it:
There were lots of parts where the text is on a background, so itās actually very difficult for an OCR to grasp the text to output.Ā
When this happens, I will go through and handwrite the text, then pop it into my tablet to get the text out.Ā
Below is an example of my horrible, horrible handwriting. The handwriting app has absolutelyĀ no chillĀ šĀ and will auto suggest a character if you write too slow, hence my messy-speed writing. (The gif is at real speed as well)
Despite my complaining, this actually works well for me as it gets me used to drawing the characters as practice for my Chinese classes~
Iāll be continuing work on the translations tomorrow. Be sure to check out Chapter 128 as well!
(Also, I got to play with an adorable python today after uploading 128 - Iāve hidden it under the spoiler bar incase people are afraid of snakes)
