[ElonNarai]

25 pages... and still going smooth!!!

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 ~_~)

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.

[Daisensei]

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.

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.

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.

[Dante The Gunslinger]

Where did you get that Japanese-English dictionary?

[LonePhantom756]

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!

[ElonNarai]

Where did you get that Japanese-English dictionary?

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 ^_^

[Daisensei]

Okara makes a remarkable appearence in this page.  Besides, there is no Okara's icon in the smile menu. This isn't fair! Page 26
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......”
EN   “It's likely I'd have few appearances in this time, therefore I was trying to show most of my face to the readers......”
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!?”
EN   “Then I don't need make gag?”
PT   “Eihn? Eu não preciso fazer piada?”
Frame 7
Yattarou   “Pururun Sukashii Okara teehendahh kore mite kurehh!!”
EN      “Pururun, Sukashii, Okara, it's serious, see this!!”
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”

[ElonNarai]

@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)

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.

[ElonNarai]

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

Thanks for the quick reply, Daisensei. You are mighty

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

[Daisensei]

Yattarou really was silly. He made me laugh a lot.   Page 27

EN      “No, I do say this behaviour is really Yattarou-like”
Frame 7
Okara   “Aa...... dare ka kono 3 nin wo tomete kere”

Okara (outside balloon)   “Hanashi ga susumanai daa”
EN            “That way story doesn't make any progress”

[ElonNarai]

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.

Pururun   “Nani wo konkyo ni son'na koto wo?”
EN      “based in what evidence are you saying that?”
Yattarou   “Konkyo? Son'na mono wa nai!”
EN      “Evidence? There isn't such thing!”
Frame 6
Pururun   “Son'na konkyo mo nashi ni...”
EN      “But with no evidence...”
Yattarou   “Tonikaku koko wa Nyankii shutsudou dei!!”
EN      “Anyhow it's time to Nyankii enter in action!!”

Finished page 29 and I also made spoof:


See last page for manga

[Daisensei]

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.  I noticed page 29 spoofing only now. Ha ha ha, it's hilarious. Page 30
Frame 1
Otama's speech   “Ehh? janai desu yo Karamarusan ga inaku nattara Karasuyama shiten no uriage ga ochiru ja nai desuka!”
EN         “Don't stay wondering. If Karamaru disappeared, Karasuyama branch sales go down!”
Otama's though   “Karamarusan ga Okarasan wo uragiru wake ga nai wa kore wa nani ka arunoyo......”
EN         “Karamarusan would not betray Okarasan. I think there is a reason for this...”
Frame 2
Box   “Otama wa itteru koto to omotteru koto ga sakasa datta”
EN   “Thought and speech of Otama were swapped”
Otama   “Arema...”

Frame 3
Yattarou   “Iya~ demo yokatta~”
EN      “Anyway... this is a good thing...”
Frame 4
Yattarou   “Oira wa kore wo matte itanda......”

Yattarou's tears falling like waterfall   “Doohh”
Pururun   “Nani ga doshita no yo?”
EN      “What are you saying?”
Frame 5
Yattarou   “Mou Nyankii no riidaa Yattarou no deban wa nakunaru ka to omotte shinpai shite itanda”
EN      “I was anxious thinking that the presence of  Yattarou as leader of Nyankii was no longer necessary”
Frame 6
Pururun   “Nanka saikin genki ga nai to omottara sou yuu koto”
EN      “You looked to be depressed lately, but now I see why”
Sukashii   “Maa koko ichinen heiwa datta kara na”
EN      “Well, indeed we had peace for one year”
Frame 7
Yattarou   “Min'na shinpai kakete sumanakatta na......”
EN      “I'm apologizing for making you concerned...”
Pururun&Sukashii   “Dare mo shinpai shite nakatta kedo...”
EN         “Nodoby was concerned though...”
Frame 8
Yattarou   “Okara”
