This was given a poor translation on 4Chan about two months back. I'm looking to get a good translation. I already have experience in editing/typesetting.One work I've already done:http://exhentai.org/g/549940/f900dcdc72/Also the scan actually made is a bit poor. The images I'm posting were cleaned up a bit in Photoshop. There's a higher-quality version available in the remote chance anyone would like to get it: http://www.dmm.co.jp/dc/book/-/detail/=/cid=b159baklo00582/If this isn't the place for this request, though, I'd welcome someplace else.

>>3387Example of the poor scan, the image at the top is cut off. It's also cut off here.
Here's the poor translation: http://exhentai.org/g/592777/dfeb5ea535/I think anyone who knows Japanese can tell quite a bit of it is off, plus the way a lot of it is worded makes it come across as a rewrite.

is it even possible for a gajin to buy from a Japanese website??
>>3414Yes.However I got in contact with one person who says that Comic LO scans are DRM-protected and that "a digital rip can't compete the quality to a decent scan anyways."So basically all that's needed now is someone willing to translate.
>>3414Yes.

>>3414There's people that rip DRMed files, I'm unsure how but it should be possible. Looking at the preview though, the files look clean but very filtered unfortunately
>>3418Filtered?
>>3417Removing the DRM is not a problem. However the limited quality usually is. Manga that's ripped from Amazon Kindle have resolutions as low as 722x1024.

>>3446It sucks that there's no full-size preview image for DMM
Well, I'm learning Japanese and wanted a challenge. I took a crack at it. I have no prior experience. There's a couple of glaring holes, I don't know how people format things and I can't write sexy, but it is at least an honest attempt at translation. Read it and... weep?http://pastebin.com/4xBMf4Su

>>3452This is the old translator's notes (before the typesetter for that one added in random cursing and stuff): http://nsfw.foolz.us/u/thread/1352760/I think comparing both can allow one to get a good grip on the translation, although it'd be nice for a third person to go through the one you just made and give more accurate translations, since I know "the 26th page of this girl's world" is wrong (26p = 26 pages, refers to length of this.)

Alright, using the old translation, the new translation (with corrections), and some other bits and pieces given their own translations elsewhere, I'll start typesetting the new and improved translation over the next few days.
>>3530Put it into a .zip folder and upload it somewhere.There's no reason to make people save every individual page.
>>3531Yes, it will be uploaded elsewhere. I'm only posting images right now when replying to others, to show the translations being done.
Just another image.
Any chance of this being finished?
>>3556Over the next few days, yes.
Will be done by the 11th.
Gah, still very much busy. Done by ... the 13th.BTW how's the typesetting?

>>3588Guess I should actually bump this since I asked a question.
>>3590Use a different font for your thought and narration bubbles. Something thinner or with lowercase letters.Keep the font size the same throughout the whole one-shot, and the font is to large. You can afford to make it a few points smaller.

>>3591Any specific font suggestions?It does seem the text is too big on some bubbles/boxes.
>>3591Any specific font suggestions?
It does seem the text is too big on some bubbles/boxes.
>>3593Standard ones are Chinacat for narration and Mighty Zeo for though.Just make sure the font size is consistent. If you do use these fonts you can make them roughly the same size as Wild Words by setting their size one point higher.And you only change the font size when the raw does also.

anon should keep fonts as is imo italics do the job for thoughts or narrationbut decrease the font size on some of them

>>3595No. One of the most basic things in editing is to use different fonts for your thought and narration.Just read the Yuri Project editing guild.

>>3596Maybe you could give OP fonts that don't have upper/lowercase? It looks weird to me having a font with upper/lowercase letters next to one where all the letters are equally sized, altho I'm not a fan of Wild Words to begin with
I use augie for sounds, actions and signs, and HL Fantasy1 for screaming/moaning/all that. I'll use Chinacat and Mighty Zeo for narration and thought though.How's this? I resized some of the wild word text too.

>>3599It's still pretty big. With a 300 resolution Wild Words set 4 will work. If the raws aren't already in 300 resolution you can make a action for it to do it in bulk. Just make sure not to re sample the images, so the physical size does not change.
>>3601>With a 300 resolution Wild Words set 4 will work. If the raws aren't already in 300 resolution...How would I go about doing that?

>With a 300 resolution Wild Words set 4 will work. If the raws aren't already in 300 resolution...
How would I go about doing that?
>>3602Just google how to make actions so you don't have to do it manually for every page.
>>3604Well just doing it on a single page I don't notice any difference...
>>3605A 300 resolution is not going to change anything about the image, that's just what most scans use. It's only going to let you have normalized font size. So instead of having wild words set to 20-30 or whatever you have it at, you can set it to 3-4.I recommend you just read this over.http://wiki.yuriproject.net/editing_tutorial

>>3606I think the size of the fonts on that page is fine as-is. I might make one or two bubbles a bit smaller.
>>3607http://wiki.yuriproject.net/editing_tutorial#styling_text>Use consistent size for text of a same font, try to only fluctate around +/- 3px if required. Do not make the text as large as possible to fill up the bubble, but not too small either.

>>3608there's pretty much no text that's right at the very edge of the bubbles, anything that looks big to the reader (down to just me I guess) is probably due to the inevitable awkwardness of putting English in a bubble designed for Japanesethere's a point where "too big" and "too small" becomes subjective judgement, you know

>>3608I read it a bunch of times already including well before I made this thread. Again I think the size of the text is fine as-is.
Should be done by the 12th.
Damn my being busy. The 14th...
I will try to get this out tomorrow (that is to say the 14th), I have 1 page half-done and 3 others left.
Down to two pages that require a bit more editing than others. The 19th is the last day I'm busy.
Will be done tomorrow.
Damned winter storm. Delayed for just one more day...
This will be out in the next few days. I've just been really busy.
So I'm done.What now? Put it online somewhere?

dont listen to anon. post the final version in a download link here
>>3686 post final version download link here. Dont do what was just said.

>>3697Anything else?I'll be returning to my computer in a week. I'll upload it somewhere by then.
