I'm DGreater1 just your average person who pops in and out without warning. I'm mostly away due to plenty of reason so don't be all work up if you can't contact me ^_^. One thing you'll notice about me is that I'm a frank person that will always pop out of somewhere and will give my opinion especially if it's conflicting with what I believe (hence, my attitude of reading to much to stuffs). But of course when I'm wrong, I always accept that I'm wrong and would gladly accept other's opinion... that is, if I found theirs to be acceptable, but mostly, I will just ignore things if I don't find it acceptable, so bare with that attitude of mine that always makes sure things are correct, it's been with me ever since I'm a kid... And you'll also notice that most of my comments are questions even though I'm talking about facts :3
Anyway, this is how I translate stuffs recently...
- I try to be as literal as possible when it comes to dialogues but when it comes to narrations, my priority is to interpret what the line is trying to convey and to make sure that it's making some sense. I use the most common words in the dictionary to make sure that the line is understandable and I don't use too much idiomatic expression. Overall... my motto is close to literal+natural as much as possible.
- I leave comments to lines I'm not really sure I translated correctly. I also put comments to explain lines I understood but don't think I translated correctly.
- I try to translate the dialogues while maintaining the context and at the same time, try to match the syllables with the original Japanese line.
- I leave the lines I completely don't understand or have doubts with or I might just add "*" at the end of that line.
You have complaints? Go to the police station and complain all you want (just kidding ^_^;)
- I will have a massive slowdown on my already slow paced checking due to work overload. I'll try to check in from time to time if I have the chance though. --DGreater1 15:35, 14 November 2007 (PST)
