Edoropolis Emporium

I'm starting here this topic, where the main goal is the translation of the Souma's manga. I'll post the translated texts here, and shall expect your help for revising and answering some doubts. Needless to say I hope everybody's help as English isn't my native language. This is an experience of an open way of working (Project Dream adopts a more closed approach), let's see how things will go. No promises about schedule, this project will be carried out in parallel alongside Project Dream, so probably will took a long time until its conclusion. This is not my first attempt of KNT manga translation, but they weren't announced here because are intended to mature readers (if you are interested in, please contact Violet to join Nihonbare board).

Thanks to Methid Man, who did the scans available to us.

Starting the translation:

Note: this page is an index, I'll not translate it all. At the center is written: "Collected works of Tatsuya Souma". Besides KNT, two more mangas are mentioned: "Zettai muteki rainjinoo" and "Genji tsuushin agedama". Perhaps the book cover (which isn't present in the scans) would bring more infos.

EDIT: this is my 666th post!  :O Omen!

I'm glad you liked it.  ;)
OK, but I'm still open for any suggestion anyway. Everybody may post suggestion or error correction.
I don't own a copy of this manga :(. Anyway, thanks for sharing the scans.  ;-)
:gurulou:

Ooh, great new project! I'll be sure to follow the topic and share any suggestions for revising the English that I can come up with. Thanks a lot, Daisensei!

This should also be a good opportunity for those who would love to learn how to translation Japanese text into English. Does anyone still use the table in Vi's website, or is there a simpler version to take each letter and turn it to English?

http://members.aol.com/PrncssVi/lessons/01/lesson01.html

Actually my mother tongues are Portuguese and Japanese, so I'm not as good as with English.
I put on my website tables of kana<->rômaji conversion table, see the links therein (http://www.quimica.ufpr.br/~fmatsumo/pizza/main_en.html). The most tricky part of Japanese translation isn't the kana reading though, but of the kanji characters (there are thousands of them).

:O

i'd love to help, but i only know a tiny bit of japanese and a handful of kanji
that's what i get for taking it in highschool...
but i'll give you guys tons of moral support!

Frame 4
Karamaru   "Nani wo son'na ni shogetenda Puutarousan!"
EN   "Why are you so dishartened, Puutarou-san!"
Sound of Karamaru tapping Yattarou:      "Den"
EN                  "Tap"

It's great that you're doing this, Daisensai!  Now, people like me (that don't know a lick of Japanese) will be able to experience the manga.

If you'd like, I could make some sugestions (or even keep a seperate document with my suggestions for flow).

By the way, do you have some one editing this into the scans?

Your suggestions or corrections are very welcomed, please post here. I understand very well Japanese, but feel dificulties for translating in English My other mother tongue is Portuguese, so my English text is somewhat contaminated with Portuguese syntax and orthography. :-[ Therefore any help is valuable.

In my knowledge no one is editing the translations to the scans, but everybody may feel free to do. Besides, I should be very thankful if anyone could edit the Portuguese translation too (it is available in the Portuguese board (http://www.edoropolis.org/forums/index.php?topic=1109.0)).

One more page done. Enjoy, friends! ;)

That was one of the reasons for the topic, actually. To get suggestions for revising the text. So I'm certain he won't mind. ;-)

Yes you may change the text as necessary before editing. As I already have said, I expect suggestions and corrections. Besides editing in the scans, please post the changes here, so I can merge them into my text document.

Doh! >_< I should've read this closer.
If you gentlemen don't mind, I went though the current translation Daisensei has supplied, and came up with something that I thought sounded a little more smooth.

I'm sorry if it seems like I'm stepping on toes, and swear it's not my intention. In fact maybe I've done too many changes.  :(

I'll post what I've done. It's nothing special, just a little something from a dude with too much time.

Otama: They’re pretty useful~ *Heart Symbol*

I've been putting off coming up with suggestions for a while, but I'm about to go to sleep. However, before I do, I do have one line I have a suggestion on.

Page 5
Frame 3
Yattarou: "Kyou mo OEDO wa nihonbare... ka"
(English): "Today's a beautiful day in O-Edo... I guess."

Based on my limited understanding of Japanese, it seems that the "ka" tacked onto the end of the sentence basically means he's questioning the previous statement. There's lots of ways this could be put into English, but since the point seems to be expressing how Yattarou's feeling down, I believe something unenthusiastic like "I guess" would be fitting.

Thanks, friends. ;) Your help are really welcomed, I hope this procedure will make the translation more suitable for native English speakers.
By the way, my plan is to merge all contributions with my text in one document, after the end of first volume (there are five volumes plus a special one).

Well, if you can lend me the tools than I'm willing to give it a try.

One question: How do you want to do the scanlation proces? First complete a volume and then editing the volume or page by page?

And yes, I'm new ;)

EDIT: spelling mistake corrected.

Ok, I have finished editing the first two pages (which took a lot of time because I want to create a standard for myself that other pages have to reach as well).
Also I have changed a few things because I thought it was more correct if you it's not please say so and I will re-edit it.
I have only edit page 4 and 5 of the first volume:
Page 4: Didn't use "kirahh" but "Pika" as SFX for "flash"
Page 4: Didn't use "Kiiin" but "Sshaaa" as SFX for "Sound of something entering atmosphere" which means "Whoosh!"
Page 5: Yattarou "sighs" and doesn't hum "Hmmm..."
Page 5: Added translator notes for those who don't know SPC

As I said before if you think I shouldn't have changed something please say so and I will revert it back.
Also these are also not the finals but in-production edits.

Please tell me what you think while I continue.

And page 5 of course.
PS: Is there a place where I can upload? I don't want to spam the forum with images (at least not like this  ::) )

hey, this stuff's great!
you guys do an awesome job! ;)

Elon, I'm liking your abilities with the text insertions. ^_^
Keep up the nifty work.  :-*

Text insertion is harder than it looks. It takes me good half hour to input the text correct while checking the grammar, making sure that everyone knows what they are saying (I learned two new words! Yeah!) and so on. But the result is quite satisfying.
Talking about results I just finished page 6 and since all the translastions is done untill page 7... Yes, I either have to learn how to translate or I have to learn japanese (Well, one of my teachers is willing to give our class japanese so who knows.). But since I have more to do (homework, real work, even more homework) I'm glad I can use it as an excuse ^_^

Notes about this page (Yes, I love to add notes):
Page 6,F1: Didn't replace soundeffect (no room and seemed strange to me, it's more like he is hurt)
Page 6: Translators note about Nyankii (The Secret Ninja group Samurai Pizza Cats)

Changes
03-12-2006: PAGE 6 at frame 2 Karamaru actually says 'waving knives' instead swords. For Japanese people it's funnier when one imagines a half-naked Yattarou running behind somebody, waving knives.
STILLTODO: PAGE 6 at frame 1 the Karamaru's thought somewhat different from the Japanese (where he was crept seeing Yattarou's face).

Good job, ElonNarai, it has a professional quality. One more page here.

BASTARD!! ;) (I just finished the other page and want to start on my homework.)
This time it took me 3 hours to do the page but that was because I was watching SPC at the same time.
Anyway, I don't mean the bastard part, it was just that I terribly bad timing (Example: I always call someone when they have dinner and the other way around.)

Anyway, here is page 7, so say yeah to translators who made this possible!!
PS: If possible please give me some critism since so I know what I must/can/should improve

Changes
03-12-2006: I disagree about the NOTE in the page 7, "kanra kanra" isn't a laugh of the crow, but could be anybody laughing in somewhat exaggerated manner.

Well, I just finished this at high speed, thanks to Daisensei. (People applaud for him, without him I couldn't have done this)

And the notes once more (page 8 ):
Page 8,F1: Left the note out (Still thinking of a way to insert it
Page 8,F6: "That's nothing" changed in to "I didn't say anything" which sounded more logical to me

And no page 7 didn't have any (at least not that I remember).

If anything has to be change (grammar, spelling, or just plain wrong) just tell me. I have all the edited images and I can only have to change the text.
EDIT: "page 8)" became a smily... Corrected that

Since many of my fellow students are intressted in the japanese class a few of us tried japanese and their were some comments on it. Because of that someone posted the following:
I would love to hear your opinions about this.

You were so fast!  I'm afraid my translation work should be the bottleneck for the scanlation process. Anyway my aim is to translate one page for week.
Even for pages already edited, everybody can post error corrections, suggestions, opinions and why not, praises too.  ;-)

---

Whoops, while I was posting, ElonNarai posted this:
'ka' replaces 'da' when you want to make question, or to express doubt. something 'da na' means it is something, while something 'ka na' makes a question (like is it something?). Moreover, 'sou da' is a strong affirmation (it's really so) while 'sou ka' could express a question (is it really so?) or a affirmation with less conviction.
Back to the manga, although Edoropolis is in a period of peace, Yattarou himself is feeling troubled. Therefore 'today is a wonderful day in Edoropolis again', but not for the poor Yattarou.

One page... Darn, I knew translating was hard. Is there anyway I can help or do translating or somehow speed up the proces like putting ginsu sword on your throat?
Anyway, I have just re-read it and I saw some major faults. And I also want to left side of the left frame of page 6. So far I still have things to do.

The NOTE 2 of the page 5 isn't correct, I'm afraid. 'Puutarou' is a name created by :polly: in the episode KNT 22 (Karasu ga piza motte tokkyubin?; in the SPC, Pizza Bird Delivers), to avoid Karamaru discovering the real identity of :speedy: at the Pizza Cat.

---

I disagree about the NOTE in the page 7, "kanra kanra" isn't a laugh of the crow, but could be anybody laughing in somewhat exaggerated manner.

Thanks,
Added all of that to the change list. thanks for proofreading (adds Daisensei as translator and proofreader to the list as well).

About Puutarou: I searched the net and found this http://everything2.net/index.pl?node=puutarou but I will use your explanation
PS: I haven't watched the translated KNT version, just to let you know.

Pps: Next update will be either tomorrow late (GMT+1 at 21:00) or the day after that.

I like very much. ^^ Daisensei is right, the text looks as if it were part of the comic.

Otama looks like hammer-wielding Mario from the original Donkey Kong on the top of page 8. :D

What's the name of this font, MethidMan? It's really nice.

It's WildWords and it doesn't have small letters (only capitals)  (>:()

Anyway, thanks to all but I think all of your applause should go to the ones that are doing the translating. I'm just search+replace function   ;]

Currently I have a lot of homework (I had a small fever which made me incapable of doing anything except sleeping) so I don't think I will be able to get tonight's release ready.

Don't worry about it Elon.  ;)
You just get better, get good grades, then you can have all the fun / photo editing you can stomach.

Still need a place to upload the pages? I can help with that…

Yes, please.
But it has to be secure (nobody but us can upload) and free of course. I have a server of my own (two, even) but since they are a) private b) from the company, I don't want to use them.I have been thinking of that too. But what if we have completed a entire chapter? I like rar's in combination with CDisplay (a mangaviewer).

BTW: Still ill (both head and body, but the last one is the problem) so I have been to bed early. I think I have to let it wait till the weekend. I HATE it when I can't do the things I "promise".

I used a free websamba acount(Gives 30 mb) to upload manga scans and never had problems(Uses FTP), the scans where there for a whole year without me uploding before they deleted them, but they didn’t canceled my account or anything.

http://www1.websamba.com/

Besides, since when you view an image there is a small ad on to top(That doesn’t get saved in the image) you don’t fell like you are robbing them...

To upload pictures, websamba is just the best host I have ever found, besides websamba has been around even before I did my "gatossamurai" website(Like 4 years ago), and was my first choice but I deleted the site when the galeon one got more hits.

Sure, you can’t download raws or huge files from websamba, but downding separate images sucks a lot less bandwidth...both for the host and the people that downloads.

And we are talking about b&w  PNGs, I think websamba will more than good for now...

Domo arigato! I will use it, but first some work. (really, a day should have 48 hours and not 24...)

About the page 6,

• at frame 1 the Karamaru's thought somewhat different from the Japanese (where he was crept seeing Yattarou's face).
• at frame 2 Karamaru actually says 'waving knives' instead swords. For Japanese people it's funnier when one imagines a half-naked Yattarou running behind somebody, waving knives.

These remarks doesn't mean that no changes must be made to my raw texts nor that I'm disapproving them. I understant that more or less re-creation is necessay to adapt the texts to other countries readers. I intend only to point out the differences arising from the translation/re-creation process, because it's better to make everybody aware of this.

Yeah, I translated a manga once, so I know that some things have to be adapted, for occident swords are a lot scarier…

Hmm...
Well, maybe I'd better just ask this to the folks of this thread. Would you guys prefer if I (or whoever was looking over the raw english translation) did as little editing to the words as possible? I ask this because of the changes which Daisensei pointed out.

My main concern here is that when trying to make the words work better, I may be cutting something important out. And I'd rather not loose something important with something I hold in high reguard.

If you folks would rather have the text remain super close to what it originally was, then that's sweet.  :-*
Or if you don't mind some of the edits that Elon or myself have done, we can keep that up too.  :-*

***

In reponse to Daisensei I'll give some of my reasons for my edits. (In the future I'll be sure to post why I changed what I changed.)
And I appreciate the comments Daisensei has made.  :-* Since I can't read any of the Japanese writing forms, I'm at the mercy of those who can. And it's better for me to know what those in Japan would be reading so I can try to direct that towards us and give us something to relate to.

Page 6 - Frame 1: When I read the initial translation "How creepy is this guy." I did figure that he was talking about Yattarou's looks. (Seriously, that is one freaky look he's got going on.) At the moment, I think I was playing off of the line from the previous page where Karamaru came up and wanted to see what was wrong. Now that I look more at the picture maybe a revision wouldn't hurt. Maybe something along the lines of "Thats... really creepy..."

Page 6 - Frame 2: When I read this, I thought of how some people make fun of Batman or other super heroes for being men (or women) in tights (or wierd looking pajamas.) So my thought was that Karamaru was calling Yattarou & company's outfits basically undergarments. (Although the guys of Edo would kill to see Pururun saving the day in nothing but her unmentionables.)

And since Yattarou's main weapon isn't a knife, I changed it to sword. (Although, thinking about Yattarou running around in underpants with knives sounds pretty funny.   =] )

So those are my reasons... or excuses. However folks wish to view them.
I welcome any insights that folks are willing to give, cause we're all shooting for something that is accurate, understandable, and enjoyable.  ;)

We're doing a good job so far, and we can only get better as we get used to it. By the end of the manga, we'll be cooking with gas!  :-*

I'm now going to update the manga (I would hate homework, was it not that "hate" is word that doesn't even come close to the feeling I have for homework)
About translations: I have been thinking and discussed a bit with Methid Man about how the translation should be carried out (sorry, this went around you guys). And we had two main concerns
1) How close do we want to stick with the translation?
2) We have KNT and SPC, do we want to make separate versions?

We didn't really make a conclusion except that we both agreed about the fact that there should be made two versions. I for one had problems with the translation since I don't know "Yattarou". If I would let my little brother (18) he would have problems reading it. And one of my goals with editing is to make it as available as possible for all kind of people in English. So I decided for myself that I will make two versions, one for KNT-fans and one for the SPC-fans.

The first question ("How close do we want to stick with the translation?") is harder or maybe even impossible to answer. I for one, like translation as close as it can to the original one as long as it is readable but I'm not everyone nor can I or we for that matter decide what the best course is. It's more like a preference than anything else. You like person X while I like person Y, but we have to love the same person (ok, that was perverted.).

However, I will follow the direct translation to readable English translator (which is who?  :-\) as much as possible unless I feel uncomfortable with it. But if someone disagrees with me and provided an explanation which is correct than I will change it.

Ok, since I have come to some conclusion I will make a short review for those who are lazy and don’t want to seek for the conclusions:
1) There are going to be two versions (SPC and KNT)
2) The KNT version has the higher priority of both
3) The editor (me) will follow the readable English translation but will edit when he feels uncomfortable about some things.
4) When someone disagrees or have problem with the self made edits I made to the translation then he can protest and if he/she has an explanation why I made a poor choice than I will change it.

And now I will start on some editing :)

Finished a edits on page 7 and page 6.

Still open edits:

• The NOTE 2 of the page 5 isn't correct, I'm afraid. 'Puutarou' is a name created by Polly Esther in the episode KNT 22 (Karasu ga piza motte tokkyubin?; in the SPC, Pizza Bird Delivers), to avoid Karamaru discovering the real identity of Speedy Cerviche at the Pizza Cat. REASON: Lost the edit-version which means I have to work off the finished version (which I dislike) or redo the entire page (which I haven't have time for at the moment
  
• PAGE 6 at frame 1 the Karamaru's thought somewhat different from the Japanese (where he was crept seeing Yattarou's face). REASON: No idea, what I should put there.
  
  Done edits:
  
• PAGE 6 at frame 2 Karamaru actually says 'waving knives' instead swords. For Japanese people it's funnier when one imagines a half-naked Yattarou running behind somebody, waving knives. ACTION: replaced, 'waving knifes' sounds cooler and I understand the joke.
  
• I disagree about the NOTE in the page 7, "kanra kanra" isn't a laugh of the crow, but could be anybody laughing in somewhat exaggerated manner. ACTION: replaced, mistake on editor part.
  

Sounds like you've got a plan Elon.  :)
Keep up the good work!

Well, to quote myself: "When you want to do something and you do it than you finish it as well or you never should allowed your self to start that."
and quote 2: "You either do something good or you don't do it at all."

I'm happy to see how this thread has grown. You are doing a good job, guys!  ;)

I don't mind if someone wants to change the translation as desired. If several different versions of the manga translations appeared, it's fine, after all each one has its own way to read the texts. I only want to stimulate a discussion here, this makes the reading and translating process richier, in my opinion.

Here's my shot at re-wording Page 9.
http://students.dsu.edu/smithd/Page9.rtf (http://students.dsu.edu/smithd/Page9.rtf)

If you want I can write a small tutorial how to do it. It's quite simple once you know how to do it.

Also websamba (the maybe host I was looking for) isn't working as I wished. For that reason I have looked for something else and I found one. It's GigaFiles since it also allows me to upload any filetype.
I will also upload the transcripts (translated text) and the editable versions.

I think that I will make a seperate thread were I can hold the top-post so that I can update it each and everytime, oh well. I guess it can wait for now :P.


See last page for manga

@KyoZaber:
Page 9, frame 6: **I’m assuming that Omitsu is talking about her shop. The only other shop that I could think of Sukashii helping with would be the Emporium, and why would she be so happy about that?

It's not the Emporium (Pizza cat hangout?) but her own shop that is called "mitchan" (yes, her name). It the Samurai Pizza Cats anime you see Speedy (Yattarrou) eat there riceballs regular. This seems to be pointed out in the SPC-translation.

Yeah, finished editing page 9 which makes this my third message in a row :(
It also was a rather hard page since I had to decide what was the most correct translation.

About the last frame:
Sukashii: "Yattarou, you're useless. Why aren't you going to flirt with Pururn?"
Yattarou: "Su...Sukashii, aren't you misunderstanding something?"
I think I can explain it with my rich knowledge about love in japan (yeah, right...)
Yattarou and Pururn never really hit it off. And if you think back at how difficult it was for Yattarou to even let Pururn know he likes/loves her you will see where I'm getting to. He is just ashamed that he loves her!
Another hint is the fact that he quote's Bad Bird (Kamara.. kama... kamehameha... lol): "While being in love one can't act as a ninja" or in Yattarou's case as a samurai. I don't know the rest of the story but I bet that is it.

About translation again... I found this poll on AnimeNewsNetwork about translating soundeffects. At the moment I'm translating everything...
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/poll.php?id=29

Last edited pages can be found here: http://www.edoropolis.org/forums/index.php?topic=1103.msg12766#msg12766

At frame 4, Kyo pointed out that "dull" isn't quite understandable. Sorry for that :(, the most suitable translation for "aho" is "idiot".
Nevertheless "slow as usual" sounds fine to me, better than "idiot as usual". Sometimes Souma is very sarcastic, as one could see in further pages.

Really the last frame depends on the next page. The page 10 isn't finished yet, but I might show the frame 1, so this can help the translation. The joke is meaner than you are guessing. If possible, I shall post it tomorrow (since I'm at my job now, and all SPC/KNT related things are stored in my home computer).

"The joke is meaner than you are guessing"? Oh... it's meaner than I can think? And here I was thinking that if one person should be described as evil it would be me (extreme hard on myself and others under certain circumstances which have made my extreme unpopular with certain people (yeah, they got in trouble because of me) )

Serious: Unless you want you don't have to send the translation. You wanted to do a page each week and I like it as it goes (it goes slow, but it's a steady pace).
If I think that the translation is bad or impropiate than we just change it. Simple as that.

Indeed as Elon said. Don't rush yourself Daisensei.  ;)
We're all patent and understanding. You take your time, and when it's ready feel free to post it.
All because a the last panel on one page is dependent on the first panel of another doesn't mean we're in trouble.

We'll get this all done soon enough. We might as well enjoy the in-between time while it lasts.  :-*

OK, you are right, it's better to do things slower, but with good quality. Sometimes rushing doesn't bring anything good.

OK, the anxiously awaited page 10. :speedy: is acting very naughty!

EDIT: a mistake in the frame 2... sorry!  :-[

Dang, of course!
This isn't a love-love serie, it's a comedy...

I think a nice similair pun is this: "She has no breast to flirt about." or something

Anyway, it's a wordplay and I don't know if there is a similair wordplay in english. So if anyone has an idea, please post.

And nice job translating, Daisensei. We will soon have another page thanks to you.

Ha! When I read page 9 after it was posted, the thought went through my mind "Hmm, it would be so like Yattarou to make a crack about Pururun's breasts in response"... I had no idea he actually DID. He's so predictable. :D And he's so wrong. He obviously hasn't seen the model sheets for the onsen episode... heh heh.

That wordplay is going to be kind of tricky to rephrase in English, though. If I come up with any ideas, I'll post.

*Saw the breast joke coming a mile away.*
Seriously, if you look at his gesture, you can pretty well say with 90% accuracy that he'd make some wise-crack about Pururun's breasts.
Ugg... Someone other than Pururun beat this guy with a stick (or other hard object.) What a complete *Censored*.

Oh well...

I suppose this gives me a reason to grab the ol' sketch book eh?  ;-)

Anyways... Off the top of my head I can't think of any good English approximations to that kind of word play. I'll thunk about it while I'm going through the script.

Ok,
I think I got a reasonable one.

Page 9 (changed):
Sukashii: "Yattarou, why don't you show some intrest in Pururun?"
Yattarou: "Sukashii, aren't you misunderstanding in something?"

Page 10:
Yattarou: "Look, Sukashii, the bigger the breast the more intrest I have and Pururun doesn't have breasts"

Darn... Maybe I should dive in my manga collection and look for other jokes. If no one comes up with another one I will edit page 9 and 10 with the text above. Your always free to correct and improve. And in fact I would love that.

I think I've got an idea that fits rather well. According to my JWPce dictionary, aside from "to flirt", "chichi kuri au" can also be interpreted as "to caress amorously". If we go off this interpretation, perhaps the dialogue could go something like this?

Page 9
Frame 9
Sukashii: "You're helpless, Yattarou. Why aren't you off fondling Pururun?"
Yattarou: "Su, Sukashii, aren't you misunderstanding something?"

Page 10
Frame 1
Yattarou: "Look, Sukashii, Pururun doesn't have anything to fondle!!"

NICE! I think we can (more:likely will) use that. Really nice.

YEAH!!!, I LOVE YOU!*
*But Im not gay, I just have bad luck with girls...

"Why are you rushing your death in such a way?"  :D

Yattarou: "Su, Sukashii, aren't you forgetting something?"

Would convey the same point, whilst sounding much more conversational.

I have thought about your remark a lot but I fear I have to disagree.

Sukashii asks him why he isn't off to fondle with Pururun. And Yattarou tells him that is not likely since well, we all know the reason. I assume that Yattarou hasn't told him that before (at least as far as I know of the SPC-serie) so "forgetting" is not something that has been done. However I assume here.

Let's elaborate further on your translation (which, is not bad, I just don't feel it's entirly correct).
If Yattarou would say: "aren't you forgetting something?"
than his follow up would be something more in the direction of "remember, she doesn't have anything to fondle with"
However in the original translation (by Daisensei) he uses "look" which in this case is used for clarification.
And you clarify when something is not clear OR misunderstood. At least that is how I think about that.

But I agree that it sounds more conversational and that's why I want some help on page 7's "No, that's because the muscle has grown instead...".
I understand what he is saying but I can't make it sounds correct. Please help me on this one.

Maybe something like "No, you've just gained more muscle"?

Yeah, that could work. Not feeling 100% confident with it, but it sounds better than all of mine solustions. Thanks!

Finish!
Added page 10 and 12.

All thank Daisensei for his translation! Rise, bow, you now the drill

See last page for manga

I'm very glado to see how the things are going in this thread. I was trying to work in an open fashion, where all interested people may give their opinion. In my opinion working with this approach is very interesting, since the debate makes the process richer than lone working. I'm learning a lot with your contributions, thanks. ;)

Talking specifically about the D-Mac's suggestion, it sounds fine to me, although will change the translation of the word kanchigai that means misunderstanding ("kan" is perception, understanding or apprehension; "chigai" is difference or mistake).

One more page...  Yattarou's in danger! :O

*bows to Daisensei

Another and more important issue. Next week (from friday) I will be gone and I will be in belgium (remember I live in the netherlands) and I won't be able to go to this forum via internet. I still have an option to check my mail (mobile phone) and I do have my laptop with me. So I was wondering ( =]:finally he gets to the point) is anyone willing to send it through by mail? (please respone either by pm or reply on this thread and I will give you my mail)

@Daisensei: I have been wondering for quite sometime. What does Dai in Daisensei mean?

I shall be very busy next week, have a lot of work to do before my vacation, so I am not sure if can post translated page for next week. Anyway, if possible, I'll send you by e-mal. Oh, yes, and have a nice trip to Belgium.
Dai (&#40;大) means big or great, therefore daisensei (&#40;大先生) means great professor. This is how Nyankii members (:speedy:, :guido: and :polly:) call :gurulou:.

Thank you,

And if you don't get to the translation don't worry. I still want to (re-)do all the pages (including the first page, which has the highest priority) and that will take quite some time. And I will send you my personal email-adres by PM. :-*
Oh and I will also start working on a SPC version.

On another account, I have spoken with a teacher of mine and after the vacation we will have a teacher in japanese as well. So maybe I can even start helping you, well, I hope I can help, since I have always been bad in language (except programming languages) and I don't really have a foundation (except anime). Oh well, a human can dream. Besides I think "helping" is the wrong word here. I think troubling you will be more the case ;]

By the way: that teacher uses Great Teacher Onizaku as his avantar. For some reason I'm starting to think their is link between you two  ;-)

I decided to work more and post one more page this week, since probably I'll not do it next week.

Finish!
Added page 11 and 12. Sorry it took so long but I had some other unfinished bussiness that I still had to attend to. And from now (within 5 hours I will be on vacation, WHOHO!!)

About the images this time. I hate them. Serious, I hate them. There was some vertical text which was bended. And GIMP can't do that. I hope that PhotoShop can because these aren't nice to look at.
All thank Daisensei for his translation! Rise, bow, you now the drill

See last page for manga

A good vacation for you, ElonNarai! I hope you´ll enjoy your travel.
Besides, I´ll travel for vacation too, so my projects will be paused during this period, but soon I´ll be back.

Just wanting to tell I'm earlier back of vacation than I expected. And no I haven't been able to do some editing.

Those pages are really cool; the translation looks perfect!!

Well... it looks perfect.... (but in fact it's no where near perfect)

I still have a big list of things to fix and though the new pages go like lighting with me, the fix list decreases slowly...

But, I'm glad you like it. Thanks.

Finally my first translation of 2007.

---

By the way, have the lyrics of this CD been already translated?  ?:|

Ooh, I love "Mikazuki Connection". Tigriss's page has translations for most of the songs (http://www.edoropolis.org/tsimsiean/lyrics-main.htm), but a few don't seem to be translated yet.

About that... I just love the intro of SPC. I remember that I went to school the entire week singing that song (even on the train). After two weeks I watched the first episode (or second, can't remember) of KNT. The next day I also went to school humming a certain tune. It wasn't until three days later that I noticed it was the japenese intro song.

@Daisensei: Cool, I will do that one tomorrow (it's 01:25 at the moment of posting) after re-intstalling PhotoShop (I changed to that in the vacation).

Everyone, rise, bow and get seated and thank Daisensei for his awesome translation, without him we would not be anywhere (well, home doing something that is consindered a waste of time like... oh I don't know, homework?  ;))

Thanks for the link. Just "Mikazuki Connection" isn't translated, it seems.

Don't mention it. I hope these works help to keep SPC alive.
Being a prof in the real world, I am forbidden to say that homework is a waste of time...  :P

Also Tenka Muteki no Yattarou is not translated.

Yasu-Kekunai, too.

Oh, do not worry. I'm one of the few people in my class (even in my year) that doesn't have to worry about his grade. Hell, I always do my homework. I always take the most difficult one (according to the teachers, not me...). Oh and I always show up at every lesson (I even go to my English classes where only four people including me show up)

EDIT: some grammar errors corrected.

And we have reached number 13. Some of you might notice that the feel of the page is different. Which happend because I switched from GIMP to PhotoShop. I can do more tricks now.

Please tell me wheter I should continue using Photoshop or revert back to GIMP!
See last page for manga

Just a comment, in the page 9 Yattarô asks Omitsu if he rather him in his normal self or as the leader of Nyankee...
Anyway I noticed that the japanese text says Nyanki Ichi Go instead Nyanki no RIDAA (Leader) that is the combat name of Yattarô (Sukashi is Nyanki Ni Go and Pururun is Nyanki San Go)

Anyway in the Tigriss page isn't romanized Tenka Muteki no Yattarô... I tried to do it using a dictionary,watching the japanese lyrics and listening the song a lot of times so I think I got it but was f*** hard...

Ok, let me get this straight:
There are three version of Speedy (Yattarô)? Himself as a cat, himself as the leader of hero, himself as a member of a team of hero's?

And the translation we refer to him as a cat and as the leader, but according to you it should be him as a cat and a member of team of hero's?

Until the last episode nodody knew the real name of the three Nyanii, hence each member was called only by numbers. When Nyankii weren't in combat, they were disguised as normal worker and weren't recognized by the citizens (kind a absurd, you know, like nodoby can figure out that Clark Kent is the Superman owing to a simple glasses).
In that context, there was a following love triangle: Yattarou loves Omitsu, that in her turn loves Nyankii #1. A broken triangle, since Omitsu didn't figure out the real identity of Nyankii #1, and she never showed for Yattarou more than simple friendship. However after the comet incident the identity was revealed by Pururun, and the manga is mentioning this fact.
By the way, it seems Souma doesn't like to develop a romantic pair Yattarou/Pururun, but prefers to keep the dispute between Yattarou/Sukashii for Omitsu's love. In my opinion Souma didn't agree with how the way the series ended.

Hmm~
I suppose whatever floats the dude's boat. They're his cats, so I suppose he could do with them as he wishes.
I can't say I agree with it. But on the flip side I guess he just wants something to laugh at.

Whine, whine, whine. At least it had a end  ;) beside being a speedy fan (I'm not a Yattarou fan) I loved Polly (God, I love her voice). Anyway, back to the editing table...

*** wonders where his editing table is
*** wonders since when he has an editing table
*** wonders why he wonders
*** just wondering...

And another page edited. I also learned a new trick. In the same frame you should use the same font size. It looks calmer and less chaotic.

Oh and all praise Daisensei!!

See last page for manga

Supposedly "yare yare" often translated as something along the lines of "oh brother", or "give me a break".

Nice work on the page editing!

Thanks, first time I think that I have done a moderately nice job (I'm way too hard on myself).

And I agree with your translation (and I will add it to my translation-document).
BUT.. what I want to know is: isn't "yare yare" the same as "yade yade"? Or is that the way how you pronounce it?

Explain, since I don't think the scans are the problem.

Every picture does that at a certain size.
I would recommend using CDisplay or the internal ImageViewer of Windows XP since they use filters. IrfanView doesn't use it on png.

Anyway, if you're going to do a rescan do it as fast as possible because I have to redo all the editing. It is on my todo list, so I don't mind, but I prefer less work above a lot of work ;)

Yes, it's the same of subbing work. The translation isn't literal though, but is the accepted one by the Project Dream.

Pardon, I didn't understand the expression "yade yade". Wouldn't be it "yada yada"?

No, you misunderstood me (I think). I'm planning on doing the entire thing again at a certain point, that's something I already have decided. I don't know when, but it's going to be before we have translated all the pages. But if you wait really long, I have done something like this.
1. Initial translation
2. Redoing the translation (correcting text, errors, making things nicer, etc)
3. Making a high quality version of the translation (your high-quality pictures are going to be redone again)

It would be far easier if we could combine point 2 and 3. And at the moment you can wait, if you want to since I'm not getting enough free time at the moment, but the faster, the better, I think.

Yep, sorry I wrote it wrong. My Japaneses is not that good (or good at all).
So... after reforming the question:
Isn't "Yada Yada" the same as "yare yare"? Or is that the way you pronounce it?

"yada yada" is quite different from "yare yare", it cames from "iya da" that means "I dislike" or "I don't want".

Alright... I think I get it now. Thanks, I mean it.

The Japanese name of Rude Noise is Yami no Yoninshuu. The Project Dream doesn't translated any episode with them, so I guess it's the first time "Yami no Yoninshuu" is being translated to English. If anybody has a better way to translate it (that sounds better, for example), please tell me.

[Note: in Japanese Rude Noise is "Yami no yoninshuu"; the literal translation is "the group of four people of the darkness".]

"Quartet of Darkness" sounds good to me. It's nice and brief, and is quite accurate to the original Japanese.

"Dark Quartet"

Sorry, for the late reaction.

But I can't do this weeks translation. I will do it as soon as I have some spare time which will be coming Saturday.
I still have to finish programming a game (for school) and do some game-engine testing (also for school) while I still have exams. I'm just too lucky! :S

OK, no problem, do what you must at your school.  ;-)
Anyway I was planning to travel this weekend, so it´s unlikely that I shall post translated page next Sunday.

Ok, since I wasn't able to upload the image (couldn't reach the root on the server), I will upload as an attachment for know.

See last page for manga

I'm putting a poll here to know your opinion about the best way to translate "Yami no Yoninshuu" to English. In the English version of the series (SPC) they are called "Rude Noise", but I prefer to keep in the Teyandee Manga a name that is closer to the Japanese one.

Few voters, but the name "Dark Quartet" suggested by Violet won anyway. I'll adopt this name for further translations.

After a delay, another page.

And I have finished editing. With this we have finished the first part of the translation. Everyone who has helped us I thank you and of course special thanks to Daisensei because he did the actuall hard work: the translation.

See last page for manga

As always ElonNarai made a good and fast editing of the latest page.  ;)
In this page one can see that the manga has been suddenly stopped due to page constraints. The next page is an afterword of the first part, and its translation is near to be ended. By the occasion of the end of the first part of manga, I wish to hear the feedback of EE board members about our work. Please post any suggestion or criticism here, you will help to improve this work.
By the way, a Portuguese translation of this manga is being carried out too (http://www.edoropolis.org/forums/index.php?topic=1109.0).

I really think it's coming along nicely! A couple of typos/spelling errors on page 13, "than things would have gone easier" should be "then things would have gone easier", and "setteling" should just be "settling". There are a few places where the dialogue is still somewhat awkward, but the basic meaning is there, so I think revising it can wait until more translation progress is made.

Keep up the great work, both of you. I really appreciate the effort you're putting into this. :D

Amazing that we had a similar plot for a fanfic and we didn't saw this manga before...you know the whole "karamaru is a traitor" thing...

A little break on the plot, but this page brings some informations.
EDIT: missed part added.

Boys and girls,

Thanks for your comments, now I know how it's to have fans (^_^), but serious thanks for all the input, I appriciate it.
About the english, this is a problem both Daisensei and I are aware of. I can't speak for Daisensei but I have the exact same feeling as Methid Man. I also hope we can improve the translation before releasing this as the final version. At the moment I have stopped trying to improve Daisensei's translation since frankly, I'm not doing that good of a job improving it. At the current moment it's like "If it makes sense than it's alright", but we all know that's not alright, we want perfection we want to look at this translation as perfect and the team as gods (joking, joking).
Besides the english there is also the issue of culture, those who have watched SPC but neverheard of KNT and some of the formatting could have some extra work.

@Daisensei:
I think you forgot to translate a part, well, at least I haven't been able to find it in your notes. I left the part in the final result. Could you reply with it should be? Than I will try to correct it as soon as possible.

See last page for manga

So far it's been an excellent read! Hope that translating the second part of the manga goes well.

I forgot it, sorry!  :-[ The missed part is:

Thank you. There are 5 parts plus a special chapter, so much work must be done yet.

Speedy and Guido sure have dirty minds, don't they?

Do you wish to die, Yattarou!?  ?:|

That had me laughing so hard.  :D

Very interesting afterword. It's heartwarming to hear that there were so many fans showing their support even after the show had ended.

Everyone,

Thanks to Daisensei, our personal hero, and his fast reply I have now completly translated the page. I know that most of you who check this page already have read the translation, but here it still is.

Whoops...
I got the message... I looked at it... I nod thinking I would do it monday... and then completely forgot...four days later...I wanted to check a manga...and then I remembered that I still had to translate a page...

My appologies for that. I will do this is as fast as possible.
Damn, and just after this thread got a sticky

0_o But that would mean starting with myself

Sorry that I took so long but it had completly slipped my mind and thanks to a new project my email box fills up quite fast. So as an apology I also have made a spoof (like everyone self-respecting editor does ~_~)

See last page for manga

Ever think of editing the sound fx as well?  They're not terribly difficult.... here's the first page from when I started to translate this comic circa jan 05' or so

(http://i10.tinypic.com/48xzdwx.jpg)
http://i10.tinypic.com/48xzdwx.jpg (http://i10.tinypic.com/48xzdwx.jpg)

Keep up the good work, only crit i have besides the sound fx would be the placement of your text, it seems kind of cramped in some bubbles or really spacious in others.

EDIT:   P.S.   -- Hey Sam, remember me? :B

EDIT (2):  Resized per request

Dude, your skill is freaking awesome. Real nice. One question though: Did you stretch the text in the boxes? It seems you did.

BTW: Add a link or upload it as attachment since a full page is rather annoying.

About replacing SFX: In the beginning I was thinking of doing that but after looking around on the internet I found a poll (I believe it was animenewsnetwork, not certain) where visitors was asked what they thought of replacing SFX. There were two majorities: One that didn't want to replace the SFX with editor translations (how I'm doing it) and the others want to have it translated but only if it was done reall nice (like you did).

Since the people that didn't want replacmenet were 7% or something bigger than those who did want it to be replaced I choose to go with the majority (also since I found out that it was quite a hassle to translate SFX).
I assume that the difference is made because some read fan translations and other proffesional translation. proffesional transaltions are used to convert the entire manga to english (sometimes they eve flip the pages to the western reading). In those cases I also want it to be replaced, but in all other cases I don't really care, but I think other prefer the replacement technique since you don't destroy the japanese feeling of it.
I hope it's quite clear since I'm having a feeling that this is not well explained, if not I will try to rewrite more clearly.

Long story made short: No, I don't replace the SFX and I have no intention to do so for the reasons see above

@Hayama: Maybe it's too early to ask you but I'm constantly hoping that somebody picks up the Samuari Pizza Cats version of this (I'm doing the KNT-version of it). Maybe, I'm allowed to be so bold, this is a task that you're perfect for? You have already proven your more than capable (proberly better than I). Besides you have one advantage: the names are shorter in english! Believe me those long names are hell!

@Daisensei: Since your the project-leader (at least in my opinion) of this, what do you think of my above request? I think a lot of SPC-fans (including me) are willing to help him.

Sound FX replacement is really simple, even editing the images takes rarely less than a few minutes per panel.  If you choose not to and keep your translation notes it's fine, but the end product usually ends up looking really cluttered.

The text was 'stretched' as you put it in photoshop to fill up the text boxes...

I did consider editting all the images fully to allow for proper text bubbles, but the only major changes I did when sam and I first started doing the translation originally back in early 2005 or so... was to edit the size of the 'pages' digitally to be all uniform and straight.

I can understand how you made most of it, but how did you rotate some of the 'Hisss' text so that they were angled?

Also, what font did you use for the twinkle?

(Short blip of an idea: why not flip the images, sans text, so that It reads like a regular book?)

In photoshop you can use the Warp Text feature in conjunction with Leading\Kerning\Ect to achieve a varienty of effects.


To be honest, I don't remember ^^;  As I've yet to reinstall all my fonts from my last crash, I don't as of yet have the ability to recall it by punching it up in photoshop.  When I do I will let you know.


For starters, it's more natural for me to read from left to right for some reason, also it helps when translating when I can just opaque/transparent the layer I use for masking out the japanese font.  At one point Sam and I did discuss doing a SPC version though, in which I definately would flip the images.

The goal of the entire project is that others who don't understand Japanse can read and understand the manga. It's not my goal to convert it from a manga to a comic.

@hayama: Lol, I meant with smaller a preview and a link not a smaller image. ^^

Daisensei ´´Queer`` its same as shut up or silence?I dont know much english.

Please search the internet next time: http://www.answers.com/queer&r=67
or use wikipedia. This is thread is for the translation of the KNT manga and not to help you get a better english grade ;)

I agree, it would be perfect if it was possible to make a job as good as done with the TV show KNT to SPC convertion.

Oh, but I am not a native English speaker too. I confess that am not sure if the better translation of okama is queer or gay. In the portuguese version I chose one of the least offensive word for male homosexual.

By the way, I shall be traveling this weekend, so am afraid that there will be no translated page this week. Sorry guys, and ElonNarai, relax yourself for now.

I think "queer fox" sounds funnier. :D

Guys and ElonNarai? Makes me wonder what I am...
Anyway I can use the extra spare time as well

@Hayama: You're in (if you want to, otherwise I will have to force you o_0 ). If you want I can give you al translated psd (photoshop files) though I have lost the first 12 in a crash. Anyway just tell us how you would like to work and we will try to help out.
Just to be clear: I do the KNT-version and you do the SPC-version (otherwise there are two people doing the same kind, a bit over the top right?)

Now I know that all these will be available soon enough, but is there any way that I could get a few untranslated ones in advance?

(A site or some such thing would do.)


EDIT: 15,000th post of the forum! BOO YA!

The original scans cane be downloaded from Supersonic's FTP server. (http://www.edoropolis.org/forums/index.php?topic=778.0) In the /misc category, look for "KNT_Manga_Scans_[MethidMan].zip"

Thank you, felineki.

ElonNarai, the "To Usa-hime" on the box could be flipped, to account for Karamaru being upside down.

That is unless it was put upside down to be funny.  In that case, you may want to angle it clockwise to line it up with the sides of the note.

Well, I was lazy and this fits, that's the true reason, but I have looked at the picture again and have thought a bit about it.

In the original file it was a 90 degrees turned and also the box is 90 degrees turned. I could also turn it 90 degrees (left side of the box becomes top of text) but even now I wouldn't do it.
My goal is not to create an exact translation, but one that is readable and understandable. If I would turn it than I would have to do strange things to text and I as reader wouldn't like it.
I want to keep the same text-size as much as possible without stretching it or having a lot of dashes (U(dash newline)S(dash newline)a(dash newline)....)
Why? Because it's more easier to read. This means I have to ignore facing sometimes and it also means I can't fill the entire textcloud. This annoyed me at the beginning but now 21 pages I see that this is a better result.

I will outline my goals in a clear summary

The goals:
- easy to read
- understandable english

Easy to read
Using to same font everywhere
Don't change the size of the fonts too often (I start at 8 pt and unless there is a special reason I stick with it)
Use western style writing (left to right, top to bottom)
Translate Sound effects instead replacing him (still have to find that poll)

Understandable english
No perfect translation since current translator (Daisensei) and editor (ElonNarai) doen't speak/write native english
Those who are in the thread are allowed to help getting correct translation. ElonNarai keeps notes of all remarks (I have an entire document of it ~_~).
Corrections will be done at a future data (still to be decided)
Japanese meaning can get lost during translation, this can't be prevented but is minimized as much as possible
We will use Japanese names

Since the popular post (datatransfer) I often worry about the fact that other peole want to translate as well. This can be done on their own or with another team, but this isn't that worries me. What worries me is the fact that if more than one team translate we are actually competing. I don't like to compete since I'm doing it for fun, nor see I the advantage of it.
So what I want to say is that everyone who feels like translating, editing or wants to do anything related to the manga please tell so. My goal is to get this manga translated in such a way that I can be proud on it.

So if you want to help or you can think a better job, let me know. I rather work together than to compete against oneanother. Even if you have no skill and you want to help just say so. I had no skill at the beginning but I'm working on it and seeying the praise I assume I do a reasonable job.
So if you would like to help you can contact me by mail, MSN, forum message or just replying in the thread. I will first discuss anything with Daisensei, but he has more concerns than only the KNT-translation and I only have the KNT-translation as my concern.

PS: You can ask for any task ^_^

Finally took some effort so find the poll that I used: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/poll.php?id=29
1552 people have voted so it does hold some weight
And Tokyopop (manga publisher in North America) also had this see this news article: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2002-10-19/no-sound-effect-translations-in-tokyopop-manga

@Methid Man:
I don't think it's wise to create four versions (KNT original, KNT SFX translated, SPC original and SPC SFX translated) but if there is someone willing to do, why not? I will be more than glad to help.

After the break taken last week, I resumed the translation work. This was a long page.

BTW: I came across this utility that can be used for translating: http://www.physics.ucla.edu/~grosenth/jwpce.html I have tried and I was able to translate partly the first four frames (took me a lot of time since I'm not familiar with Kanji and Hirigana). It's a text-editor with translator in which you simply can write the "baka" and it will put "ばか" or "馬鹿" there. It's quite a nice.
BTW2: It took me 2 hours to do those four frames because I'm not familiar with Kanji.
BTW3: We are 1.1 gb of the 5 gb (I'm starting to doubt it resets itself, so that is since the start of the project ~_~)

Translated Manga (KNT-Version)
See last page for manga

I've been using JWPCE for quite a while, it's a great program. The built-in dictionary and kanji lookup tools are very useful.

After Supersonic's server being closed, the untranslated manga scans was available no more. I put them in a zip file at my server, so anyone could get the scans. Click here to learn more about (http://www.edoropolis.org/forums/index.php?topic=218.msg15777#msg15777).

Sadly that program is for Windows only. I use in my Linux box kinput2/canna server for Japanese typing (with on-the-fly romaji-kana-kanji coversion), and Openoffice.org Writer set up to Japanese language. Gjiten, a great Japanese-English dictionary, helped me a lot too.

Where did you get that Japanese-English dictionary?

Wow, you guys are doing a really good job! As a new member of the Edoropolis Emporium, and as a long-time KNT/SPC fan, I hope nobody complains if I extend my personal kudos to everyone working on this project. If there's anything i can do--such as tweaking any translations, or offering commentary on what's been accomplished so far--let me know. I'd be glad to help out, and I have access to a Japanese-English dictionary of my own if it helps any.

And, um...the name's LonePhantom. Glad to meet you all!

JWPCE has one it, if you download the full package and install all of it in the same directory. Just look onder utilities and then select Dictionary (I use the toolbar, but this helps you more I think). I don't know about linux, but Daisensei refered to http://gjiten.sourceforge.net/ , but that's is linux only.

Tweaking the translation (if you're natural english speaking and I mean natural), proofreading or helping with translation (just pick page 27, so you don't collide with Daisensei work on page 26). Anything you submit will be used if it can be used and give you a place in the credits.
What you can also do is make a start with the SPC-version, but you have to keep in mind that Daisensei only translate one page a week to prevent him from fatal brain damage (he does a lot besides the manga!! So far I'm impressed with everything he has done.).

Just say what you aspire and we will help you on your way if you need any help, LonePhantom.

I think you should re-read my post since JWPCE is for windows and gjiten on the other hand is for linux.
JWPCE can also translate.

Oh and next time please check your post as well, you messed up a bit ^_^

Okara makes a remarkable appearence in this page.  :D Besides, there is no Okara's icon in the smile menu. This isn't fair!

Frame 3
Pururun   “Doudatta? Sukashii”
EN      “Found something, Sukashii?”
Sukashii   “Dame da haitatsu saki ni wa Karamaru dokoro ka hito no sunderu kehai sae nakatta yo”
EN      “Nothing. Besides Karamaru, at the delivering address there was not a sign that someone has even lived there”
Frame 4
Sukashii   “Ittai doko itchimattandarou”
EN      “Where the heck did he go?”
Above Okara   “Ji...” (denotes she stays at the reader's sight)
Pururun   “Soune moto ninja nanda kara jiko to ka au to wa omoenaishi”
EN      “Indeed. Since he was a ninja, I think it's very unlikely he'd suffered an accident ”
Frame 5
Pururun   “? Doushita no Okarachan”
EN      “What's the matter, Okarachan?”
Frame 6
Okara   “Ora konkai deban sukunasou dakara narubeku kao wo gamen ni dashiteda da......”

Frame 6
Pururun   “Yamete Okarachan anata wa Teyandee yui-ichi no majime na kyarakutaa na no yo~”
EN      “Stop it! Okarachan, you must be the only serious character of Teyande!”
Okara   “Ehh ora gyagu yaranakute iidaga!?”

PT   “Eihn? Eu não preciso fazer piada?”

Yattarou   “Pururun Sukashii Okara teehendahh kore mite kurehh!!”

Footstep   “Zudadadadadahh”
Frame 8
Sukashii   “Yattarou nani wo son'na ni awatetenda?”
EN      “Yattarou, why are you so disconcerted?”
Sukashii   “Mahh omae no koto dakara taishita koto ja nai darou kedo.....”
EN      “Coming from you, must be nothing important though...”
Yattarou   “Teyandee! Koitsu wo mirya omae datte awateru ze”
EN      “Teyandee! Reading this surely you also would be disconcerted”

@Daisensei: You forgot to translate one sound effect in frame 6. I tried translating, but failed. But I think it's either Klang or Kaching.
Also In frame 4 I changed Pururun since the original one didn't connect with what Sukashii said.

If you have any comments about the changes please say so and I will try to make a better one.

@Everyone: I found a site with fonts used by scanlators. (And no, I'm not going to change fonts half-way)

See last page for manga

As always, an excellent work, Elon Narai. Going straight to the points:

The missing sound effect of frame 6 is: Pururun hitting her face   “Gan”.

The Pururn's speech at frame 4 really alters what is written in the original manga. Pururun express her opinion that Karamaru would not suffered an accident, since he was formerly a ninja. She wasn't arguing Sukashii's opinion, like can be understood from the way you put in the manga.

Ok, I reverted Pururun her text and correct the sound effect

Thanks for the quick reply, Daisensei. You are mighty (http://daisensei.youaremighty.com/)

BTW: about the Okara icon. Close-up or full body shot?

Yattarou really was silly. He made me laugh a lot. :gurulou:

Okara (outside balloon)   “Hanashi ga susumanai daa”

Ok, Missed my train twice in a row, laptop started smoking, new laptop, after a week laptop crashes, lost a design document of over the 60 pages (thank you backups) and on top of it I got ill. Normally I'm extremly lucky, but that wasn't mine week.


@Daisensei and proofreaders:
Please proof read this page (27) because I had to rewrite some text to make english correct (grammar-wise) and I had some troubles with it. Besides a creator is really bad at seeing his own faults.

:francine: is almost a mere supporting character for TV series, but in the manga she plays a major role in the story. She makes me laughing a lot, in the scene where swaps her speech and thought.  :D

I noticed page 29 spoofing only now. Ha ha ha, it's hilarious. :gurulou:

Frame 6

And another row filled.

And a note for the record: I hate sound effects and translating them...

What happened to the pages?The links are broken?

Links are working fine. (just checked to be certain)

Maybe you meant that what I wrote in green?
If that is the case then I meant that I won't update the link in that section to refer to the last updated content of the manga (aka the post in which I release a new page). I changed it now.

Phew! One more volume was finished!

Bottom of  page   “-3wa e tsuzuku!-”
EN      “Will continue in the volume 3”

The topic's popularty is very well-deserved, it's great that so much progress is being made on this translation. The part where Otama accidentally says what she was thinking is very funny. She's got a one-track mind sometimes. :D

Sorry, it took so long but I had to spent some time on my programming homework.

On another note: Within a few weeks I will be on vacation which means: No internet.
I will post when I actually do leave, but I will be here home for at least another two weeks.

It happen again link broken.Why it happen?

Links are working fine for me.

Ok, link is broken now. I just noticed and I have looked up the reason: Guess you have to be patient or in anybody knows a reasonable file host that supports images than I'm willing to look in it.

REQUEST: if anyone wants to redo the page, please by my guest! As you can see I sucked at this one but then again I'm a programmer and not an artist (the opposite ^_^).

@Daisensei: Yesterday morning I watched the last episode of Tekkaman, still couldn't recongnize Honda on this page but hell! Loved the serie by the way, even the ending ^_^.

ElonNarai, I think it's not necessary redo the Page 32, it's good enough in my opinion. The page of this week will make you smile, I bet, because it's short. :gurulou:

2. I have switched to Adobe Photoshop CS3 (is more easier to work with)

Oh, translated pages are:
page 1, 2, 3 and page 35, 36, 37.

page 2: credits page
page 3: WIP: introduction to the characters, still have to think how I should do that.

thx Elon, cant wait til the other pages are done!

Your welcome ;)

BTW: I just noticed (by clicking on TGL:Radio Ga Ga (Queens-fan?) that he has in singnature (bottom of each post) ) that there is a birthday thread and THANK YOU for remembering me. Since I rarely visit the forum and limit myself to this thread only (self protection: I'm quite a forum-addict once I get rolling) I won't be able to keep track of everybodies birthday. Still thanks you guys remembered me :-*

Oh and for the record I was intrested in why Polly was called the striper. I god damned love her (fierce, outspoken but has her kinds side as well). And yes, I'm succer for romance  :-*

Hey! Don't look at me! TGL started it! >:(

Next, he's gonna tell me Francine is a heroin addict; stealing needles from the hospital garbage bins.  :francine:

Nah, she is a gangster (proberly the father of the family). It makes sense if you think about it.

Owns a Pizza Hut --> Pizza comes from Italy --> Italy has mafia (which country hasn't) --> so Francine is a gangster and she also has super huge gun (launch pad).

For those who are italian, I'm sorry for misusing some of the prejudice that is know (thank Hollywood/Taintforest).

Also you have more chance of finding needles in garbage bin in a cafe then in you do in a hospital.

:badbird: will marry :violet:? What will our hero do? Oh, my... Poor :badbird:, he seems to be helpless.
@ElonNarai: I liked the Kyattou Ninden Teyandee logo in the cover, it's nicely drawn. However I noticed the lack of author's (Tatsuya Souma) name from that cover.

I will change do the update page tomorrow.

And I have finished the page. Yeah!
God... Soon we will have fights and since fights equal special effects I actually fear those pages.

See last page for manga

Well, Francine is actually a tran-sexual, but you didnt hear that from me

@Elon
sorry to say this, but speedy looks like he's well, farted, in the sleeping picture  :O ?:| >:[

Yeah... pizza...

Seriously, it was empty to begin with. I was thinking of putting some sleeptalk in it but since I already had to change the wedding part to have it make more sense I decided against it.

Gotto be as true to story as we can, right?

yep, but ya can add a bit of it, thats not in it, to make a bit funnier!

:speedy: tries to be a cool hero but... how silly is him.

@All: I decided not to translate the sound effects because I don't think they need to be translated, besides it's quite a hassle to do so right (ok, I don't like SFX but it really is not needed)
If someone however thinks I should do the sound effects as well, please post and I will do it for the next update (and I promise I won't curse you ;))

Hmm, Pururun's not qute as "flat" as you were claiming earlier, eh Yattarou? :P I like how in panel 4 he's all serious-looking and ready for action, despite the huge bump on his head (I wonder how those manage to sprout through their helmets, anyway...).

Oh my god, that last look on Otama's face, that has to be worth a million points. That look just explains soooo much. Especially if you compare it with the look on her face a frame earlier. I'm now having trouble to stop laughing.

---

See last page

ahahaha that page 40 proves that polly is a striper....*evil laugh*

But in that context it can be said about any person, unless you never need to go to the toilet ;)

say what?

Ok, I admit you must have my sick brain to follow my logica.

When you go to the bathroom most of us take down our pants and underwear so that we pee and poe in the toilet and not on our own clothes. I hope you are familiar with this otherwise... well... I fear that your than still wearing diapers ^_^.

Anyway the above is stripping. So in that in context you must see Speedy and Guido also as strippers just as the rest of the time (please let them know how to use the toilet) :P

but isnt that how they use there tails for? or is that something different :D

I could continue this for a while, TGL. But I think we should put an end to it.
This is getting way off-topic and this thread is for the translation of the manga and not "the 101 uses of having a tail" ;P

So I want to stop this before it goes to far, I hope you can understand that.

hehe

so whens the next page gonna be done?

At least its translation has been just finished.  ;-)

It's an interlude page, with comment from Satoru Akahori, one of KNT writers. Teyandee!!!
By the way I don't know if ElonNarai would edit this page because it is almost text only. I don't blame him if he decided to left it  undone.

Intresting to read some comments from someone directly involved in the production of KNT. Seems the staff really have an emotional attachment to the show.

As I was browsing the Wikipedia links you posted, I noticed KNT's Japanese article seems to be expanding, with a section on the various enemy mecha.

@Daisensei: I know it's not on purpose or anything but there are many mistakes in the translation of page 44 making it impossible for me to create something was readable (I was unable to grasp the meaning and intent of the writer). If you would improve it than I have no trouble replacing it.

@Methid Man: Thinking back I would never have guessed I would actually help out with a scanlation project. Now I wished I never begon helping, but the comments I get from other people make it all worth it. Still glad I did decide to help out :P

---

See last post in thread

Ok, I have read it over quite a few times, because it could mean more than one thing.

But assume you want to help me out as an editor.
In short there is no real need, the problem is that it takes time to do it and I don't like things that cost time. I ordered a time machine but it's assambly date is somewhere in the far future :P
I really appriciate the offer and if I'm ever in a pince I will not hesitate to contact you. As for SPC version, I will give you the PSD files (photoshop files) so that you only have to remove the text and not have to re-edit everything. I might think about helping out as an editor as well, but I prefer to leave it to you.

PS: If you want a head start, please PM me about it and I will send you a copy every week.

Sorry for my late reply, I was busy in the past week and made almost nothing of my fan works.

I know my English is far from the perfection, and translating Akahori's words isn't a easy task. He is a talented writer and the way he puts his speech in Japanese isn't trivial in any sense. One can see that Akahori conducts his speech like he is intending to say one thing, but then he reveals that he wished to mean the opposite thing. I mean, although I understand what he is talking about, it's hard to translate without making the English text almost completely different from the Japanese one. However I work my translations in an almost literal approach, in a hope that someone could modify it to make more understandable for the English speakers (as like Tigriss makes in the Project Dream). Therefore I can't do nothing but wait for somebody pointing me the bits that aren't understandable, and suggesting me how it could be.

Oh, by the way I'm not taking your criticism in a negative side, if you can understand me. I'm aware that my work is far from the perfection, so it needs a careful proofread.

@Daisensei: I'm aware of the hardships involve translating, so I will aid you whenever I can (and I have already been doing that by correcting your text :P).
As for Akahori's words if you could tell me what he is trying to let us understand then I have no problem to copywrite (as in copywriter) it, I sometimes do it for other people also, so maybe I can help it out.

I will edit all my previous post so that it won't contain any reference to gigafiles.

Maybe I will change my own website so that it supports something like gigafiles (I really liked the system) but for now you have to life with this.

Also I will only show the last two pages to view older pages you have to go in the backup location

Hmm, I'm wondering, is p45 a play on words? I know in English, we might say someone has a few "loose screws" as a figure of speech, does a similar idiom exist in Japanese? The artwork on that page is great, Omitsu's adoreable.

Yes.
But I didn't like how that was said so I changed it too something more native english. "loose screws" is known figure of speech for me but I still wanted the words in context. So I came up with that.

Also I just noticed two flaws in pp46.
1. Scan error on the entire left side
2. Font in fourth frame is wrong. It should be Wild Words and not Augie

Felineki, really the pointed figure of speech is same for Japanese... and for Portuguese too ("alguém tem parafusos a menos na cabeça" - "something has less screw than normal in its head"). Some ideas seems to be almost universal...   :)

Now, about the Page 47, it's very likely that Usahime would order to banish the Edolo-robot.  :D

Just an update (since I guess some of you might wonder why I haven't signed in yet).
But I'm sick (some virus that got half the school) so I haven't been really in the mood to do anything at all (which includes homework, games, anything).

I'm already feeling better (nobody is able to beat because I'm invincible) so with a bit of luck (and a lot of sleep) I will do the page tomorrow.

Sorry for the delay.

i bet u 2 of my next posts...that you WONT do it :D

Well, I have done it. I decided to power up my laptop (it has been off for more than it was on, normally it's the otherway around) and done the page.
Now I have to finish programming the demo and I'm free to do whatever I like.

One could see that Nyankii didn't make a good landing.  :D There is a word that I was not able to translate, so it's better left untranslated for now.

Frame 2
Sukashii   “Otama no yatsu mata shoujun machigae yagatta na”
EN      “Otama missed target again”
Outside balloon   “Touyakusoku”
[Note: not sure, it would be “to oyakusoku” (and promise) or “touya kusoku” (long-distance arrow + rule); both don't make any sense.]
Yattarou   “To ittemo an'na hasshadai de shoujun mo nani mo nai kedo nya~”
EN      “However with that launcher it's impossible to make any aiming”

Yattarou   “Oi omaera Edoro-robo wo ima sugu tomeyagare!”
EN      “Hey you! Stop Edolo-robot now!”
Frame 4
Nyankii   “A...”
Frame 5
Yattarou   “Ko”
EN      “Th...”
Yattarou   “Koitsura soujuuseki wo hakai shiyagatta”
EN      “They destroyed the cockpit”

I think the "long distance arrow rule" interpretation makes sense... as in it's a "rule" that if you try and hit a target from a very long distance, you're going to miss (like Otama often does). Just my speculation.

Just weighing in on the title, here, if you're planning on keeping with the SPC theme, the title should be something like "The Four Evil People," or "Tetrad of Terror."

What about a promise not to miss (to actually hit her target).

Also this time she didn't have her usual high tech gear.

I have just left it out since it didn't make sense at all and if it does I will add it in the future.

Somebody   “Machina sou kantan ni ikaseru wake ni wa ikanee...”

Yattarou   “Dare dei!”
EN      “Who are you?”

In SPC it would be something like "Who are those four pigeons?"

Mojo Rojo: We are crows!

Speedy: Whatever you say… pigeon!

Quick english lesson
When to use "is" and when to use "are". When you can say there is more than one of it you use "are" otherwise it is "is". So trio is one and you use "is", when you talk about trios you use "are"

Also in frame 4 you wrote: "We haven't a choice other than go to engine room to stop it!"
This is wrong because "We haven't" is the simple present negative. present because it's now, simple because it is not ongoing (continues) or completed (perfect). And negative because it has not in it.
This means the correct way is "we do not have". After some more correction you get "We don't have another choice other than to go to the engine room to stop it" (I have underlined the other corrections)

I would recommend you use word and turn on the grammar checker (it's good for most common errors) and use http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_grammar#Tense (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_grammar#Tense) to see in what format it should be written.

just seach on YouTube, "Accrington Stanley Milk Ad"

"Quartet of Darkness, WHO ARE THEY?" "EXACTLY"

Heh heh heh. Those poor birds...seems like no one remembers them these days. :D His outraged reaction to Yattaro's inquery was priceless.

Now then, we'll soon see if the Nyanki are up to fighting this deadly tag team...unless something happens in the next panel or two...

And yeah, giving all characters more air time can sometimes draw attention away from the main stars, Daisensei. It's the risk of pandering to the crowd...you don't want to overdo it. :P

Oh boy now I'm two pages behind. Thank god I finished all my tests yesterday and deliverd the ray tracer, bouncing cube, and Assambly assigments also.
Otherwise it would be three, maybe four, five if feel lazy. Guess we could also make it... well you get the picture.

I will do it the first thing in the morning and after that it's some R&R time for me, myself, and whatever my name was ;)

Ok, I saw LonePhantom756 post as one of Daisensei, guess I was a bit tired.
Anyway the reason I have been so slow lately was because I had a lot of work todo with school. And that's know done untill the next tests.

@Daisensei: I have not translated the background (frame 3) since they were adds for pizza.

Page 52 & 53 are showing up as Page 51!

Indeed, my bad. I always quote my last list and then edit a few numbers. This time I forgot to correct the links to the images.
Whoops...

hahaha you got owned by the Numbers of DOOM!!!

I think translation is fine, although I haven't got what was your doubt. The really literal translation of following Okara's speech would be:

おカラ「ま-真面目に2人の話を聞いていたオラっていったい...」
Okara   “Ma-majime ni futari no hanashi wo kiite ita oratte ittai...”
"Me, who was seriously hearing their talk ["ittai": don't have an exact translation, it's an expression of interrogation or doubt]..."

Okara didn't finish her speech, but one can see her dissatisfaction about how naive is she.
I hope this has clarified all.

Sorry, I meant that I was uncertain wheter everything was translated (there was one on the right and two (combined) on the left). Also now I read your explanation of what could be meant I wonder if I interupted it correct (I assumed she was pointing out that she was acting silly because she thought they were serious).

Now I'm following you. :P
The rightside balloon contains "Aahh" (only an interjection, translated as "Oh my!"). The small part of leftside balloon contains "ma", followed by "majime" in the main area of the balloon, therefore Okara was stuttering. So none was missed from translation. 
The interpretation you gave to her speech is different from the original meaning in Japanese, Okara regrets for hearing Wankoo-no-kami and Otama when discovered that they were talking only to show themselves in the manga.

"To get the right answer one must ask the right question"
Anyway I will correct it with the next update as I'm now programming a prototype of a new game.

Today is thank you day in the "Kui" calendar (Kui is a Invented world for a novel I have been writing for the last 3 years) , Thank you for the KNT manga translation ^_-

TWO PAGES

@Daisensei: I'm certain that "Shimatta" is "damn" or something. I will try to correct the other images tomorrow as I want to have some sleep right now.
@Everyone: I'm currently quite packed (as in I had too much fun programming the graphicsal userinterface for a game and I lost 4 days on it) so I'm sorry for skipping an entire week.

Perhaps the best translation for "Shimatta" is "Oh no!".

It's almost end of the year and I'm very tired. However I'll never give up, so here is this weeks page. Enjoy!

VACATION
Next week I will have vacaction (from 21 dec) which also means I don't have any internet (except my GSM, but that costs me). I assume I will be back a week after new years. If I'm sooner than I will announce it here.

@Daisensei: You have told me that you are a teacher in real life, but I never have heard what subject you teach. I'm looking for someone who I can bug about physics beside my own teacher. I have to fix a bouncing cube example (it's  a 3D application, I'm a programmer) for an assigment for him but it's not yet perfect. I want to point out that this is only for me if I can't get it fixed in the vacation and only if my ow teacher can't make me understand it.

Happy holidays, and don’t feed the black cat, he was an evil kitty and needs to lose weight anyway  =^_^=

I'm posting the last page that has been translated in this year. ElonNarai is going to have a vacation (me too, but later), and I have some duties that must be attended. I know we are stopping just when the story is becoming more insteresting, so I only beg for your patience for now. I'll resume my work in the early 2008's, I promise.
About this page, Pururun is showing her unexpected smartness. Who could say her only attribute was brute force?  >:[

Older board members already know that, but I'm professor of Chemistry, more specifically Inorganic Chemistry. I don't know if I could help you, but you might open a topic in Off-topic Discussion board with your questions.

[technical boring stuff]
I'm changing my Latin (roomaji) transliteration of Japanese texts from now. Normally sokuon, the sudden stop in the pronuciation of a phoneme (like holding breath before ending a syllable, represented in Japanese as っ - little tsu - character) is represented by doubling the next consonant of the word. For example, リットル (litre) is graphed as rittoru (with doubled t). The problem arises with an ending syllable, since there is no next letter to be doubled. To represent such case, I shall use doubled t (tt), such as にげろっ(nigerott).The reasoning  behind it is  t letter would be related to tsu kana.
[/technical boring stuff]
It looks like :speedy: and :polly: are facing more and more troubles to stop the robot.

FX (crows flying)   "Pyuu"

Sorry, I'm late but that was because of school. They decided to push a deathline forward which meant I had to do a lot of things.

@Daisensei: I don't think I will ever have a need Inorganic Chemistry as a programmer, but if I do I will think of you first. As for the bouncing cube, I think I already know where the problem is. Now I only need time to fix it.

@EVERYONE: HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Ah, another reference to the finale of the show there. The "important thing" that Yattarou needed to tell Pururun about end up being that he needed to borrow 1000 yen. :D

Just a quick note before anyone asks. At the moment I'm having various tests of school.
This means I don't have much time to edit or sleep or anything else. After tomorrow I hope I will be done so sorry for the wait.

No problem, ElonNarai! A good performance to you in the tests. The manga can wait for a while.

Well, here are three new pages. Sorry that it took so long but I have that one thing that annoys me which is called a life ;)
Sadly I will have to do some retakes (just like 90% of all the other students) which might cause another few weeks of delay. Oh how I wished I had a life o_O

@Daisensei: Thanks for the encouragment

Nice job, ElonNarai.
However I'm afraid the translation  of page 62 last frame was not exactly that. Actually Otama was relieved because a 2nd Edoropolis mass destruction didn't ocurr (in the KNT series the city wasn't destroyed by the comet, but by the Omitsu's missiles instead).

Whoops, I should have scrolled down a bit   ;)
Also I noticed that pp61 wasn't fully translated by me. I'm starting to do a bad job...   :/

Anyway I will fix it somewhere during this week.

After this point, the presence of :lucille: in this story turns to be more and more important. Her fans are lucky.

Ha, the "my hands don't reach my head" thing is actually something I've wondered about. :P

I just love Doraemon in page 59...

I didn't noticed Doraemon between frightened crowd before you have mentioned. It's face looks so happy...  :D

I forgot to translate one line of page 64 (http://www.edoropolis.org/forums/index.php?topic=1103.msg20848#msg20848), but now it's fixed (sorry for that,  ElonNarai).

@Daisensei:No problem, it's fixed now.
@All:I have updated the last four images (page 64-67) with a (self-written) filter that makes it more inky. I would love to hear some feedback on it. If someone else wants to have a look at the filter (and/or thinks he/she can do a better job) please drop a line using the forum mail.
@All:Just so everyone knows. KNT manga is pretty popular. The site that host it nows keeps track of montly hits which is 1220. Divide that through the four images each month and you get 305 views per image. And that for something that isn't finished. Once it is finished I'm certain that it will ramp up because of various distrubutions. It's quite fullfilling to know this.
