Hi, I'm obviously pretty new. I'm gonna be working as a Chinese translator, so nice to meet everybody.
* taps finger on the desk*
Hmmm, Im apparently not so good at self introductions. Oh well. Looking forward to working with everyone.

:bow:

Xye

 :goodjob: Welcome! Are you a girl or guy? ^.^ how old are yaa~ *spams with questions*

NieYiFan

Ah, sorry about that. I'm 20 years old AND a guy ( lived through the teens). I grew up on the east coast, and spent most of high school watching anime and reading manga. Now, 2 years after graduation, I STILL spend a lot of time reaqding and watching, although it takes a really good anime to get my attention lately. For more, visit my profile.
      :hi:

Iteza

Welcome NieYiFan to the team!!

Hope to work with you soon.

Welcome to Transcendence~

A translator that's a guy? xD
Werr, you can't take him. He's special.
I hate losing. I hate crying. I want to keep laughing.

Eeeeh?!  :noway:

*Is dissapointed*

Welcome by the way ^^

NieYiFan

Apparently this is a rare happenstance. Well, Now that my training and deployments are over and I have time, I can get crackin.
  Once again, nice to meet you all. :hi:

Xye

welcome back man XD <3

I kinda forgot what your preference were for the projects? XDDD (any fav ones, or fav genres?)

NieYiFan

Not really. You give me a job, I'll do it ( with the possible exception of Yaoi, i'll have to check with my manliness meter first)   :=D:
But really, I'll do pretty much anything. So long as it's of the chinese persuasion.

Furgeson

LOL! I don't think we do yaoi... much to the annoyance of Xye.  :woohehe:
Welcome Nie! It's great to have you~
Hope to have you with us somewhere special. Like that new project. TEEHEE. >O

Xye

Lily is quite accurate in guessing on this one XD

@NieYiFan
Can you translate the chapter 1 of Lovely Everywhere?  :o_o: it's a new project. so you might wanna do a name list too <3

Thanks!!  :love:

Madam, It would be my most distinct pleasure to try. Nay, I shall do more than try!!!! I SHALL DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :=D:

NieYiFan

I like it... It's funny and sorta cute ( coughs to assert manliness). But really, it's kindof a long chapter, so give me 7 or 8 days tol finish it. I started reading it tonight and translated the first 3 or 4 pages. They were probably the hardest, since theres not a lot of context to go on. It's wierd, for some reason the main characters voice in my head is that of Tohru Honda's english voice actress. ??? it kindof creeps me out.

Xye

after you read it~ Can you also give me a short summary of the series (or translate whats on the book cover) so that i can post it on the website ? <3

"Tong Danwei" is a highschool freshman with romantic dreams about the boy she is fated to meet. While on the way home from picking up groceries, she runs into a pretty boy, and that's where our story begins. Will she find love in high school? And more importantly, will any boy be able to overlook the fact that although she is in high school, she still looks like an elementary student??? Follow along on "Tong Danwei's " 'adventure of love and high school angst, with plenty of comedy thrown in to the mix.

WAH............you're doing a LOT NieYifan..... :goodjob:

Furgeson

ZEOMG! You're dedicated.
Congrats, and thanks for what you've done so far... ._.;;;
(Are you going to start translating now? wAH... finally!  *skip)

NieYiFan

I haven't really done anything. I read a manhua chapter and wrote an intro, translated a few lines.  But yeah, I am translating now, and hope to handle at least 4-7 pages a night. My only problem is trying to make sure the translations are organized in a sensible manner on a word doc.  Is it possible to get an example of someone elses to se how they organize it?

icewing

uh........Nie? you're frickin 20 right?   lil and i can't call you Xiao Nie........FYI...........xD

Not anymore. I have short hair now. That picture was from the beginning of senior year, and I cut it halfeay through the year for a drama club performance. Now that i'm in the navy, i have to  keep it short

Furgeson

ButtCheeks would worship you. I believe he wants to join the Marines, though.Someone whos not asian ACTUALLY translating?! Gawd, you know we worship you.  :love:
As for translator's formatting. I suggest using Ruraine's format, or Charmys Much much more complicated one
If you want to take a quick look, please PM me or email me at [email protected]

Hello! Welcome. Yay some one else who is 20! This is exciting. :D Same with the anime watching thing. It takes good ones now to catch my attention.

charmy

HELLO! i realised i haven't welcomed you yet! ~_~

a little late, but welcome here! :D
CHINESE TRANSIs are AWESOME! ^_^
:woohehe:
anyway, have fun around here, make yourself comfy. ( though i think you've already done that...xD)
if you want i have a template for my transi format...
attached ^_^

Good points (I feel):
1. I find that it's more organised this way. Makes me less angsty.
2. Actually initially what sparked my format to be done this way was because the editor for my project said that it was hard to copy without leaving out the spaces and paragraphs inbetween the translations. So i decided to so this table one, i felt it was easier to copy. though the editor went MIA without even trying out this new format, leaving me no feedback. lol.

there's downsides to this format,
1. File size is much bigger compared to files with just words.
2. You have to specifically add a line where you want them by pressing 'enter' at the end of the previous line. Tedious.
3. I'm sure there's more but i can't think of them right now. *brain dead*

I've put some common symbols at the end of the file for easy copy and pasting if your translation needs it so you don't have to search for the symbols every now and then.

Ah. Hope you found this useful. you dont have to use it though. (:

and wow this is probably like my longest post in forum history.
