"He accused me of not checking the stuff I upload." The dude(?) you've been talking to uploaded quite a lot of stuff and gave you general advice. Actually a good advice.
There was no advice, that I learned anything from. I looked through it beforehand like anybody would do. Of course I saw the same things he said. And I didnt want to fix them because I personally do not care enough. Thats why my translation was so fast.
The only exception was the second image missing, because it was named "3png" instead of "3.png", which my image viewer of choice happily ignores, because file extensions are almost always completely unnecessary. I am sorry if I misunderstood him and sorry if acted rude. English is not my native language and I was somewhat angry already because of other comments.
If you "can't be bothered", what's the point in trying to translate in the first place?
My goal is for people do understand the story without needing to read the novel and to be fast. I think I achieved that. I dont want to waste my time on anything more than that, because the last 20% always cost 80% the work.
These days it is possible to just point your smartphone at the page and see an awful machine translation
Was this "an awful machine translation"? I dont think so.
awkwardly aligned into speech bubbles (using Google Lens or something else).
yeah that is what happens if you spend about 1sec on typesetting the entire chapter, by bruteforcing the layout with the biggest font size.
Generally when people do translation by hand the idea is to do better than that.
Yes, generally. But here there are two options: Either I didnt put in the effort or I was stupid enough to not notice these issues.
I hope their is no one for whom the latter is the case. Also this is not a "translation by hand".
Also, your previous releases were better. Still very rough, but much better than this one.
Yeah. And it took me that 80%, so 5x longer.
And know I didnt put these numbers in as a joke. Even if i did not measure them, at least the order of magnitude is correct.
