Check my translation please

[TehMouse]

I just translated some manga using AI. Well, “translated”, to say so. I fully understand how much well-deserved disgust MTLers inspire in everyone who loves reading manga. I even understand that the reason for this disgust is twofold: the general laziness of “trashlators” and a lack of knowledge of the Japanese language. I decided to eliminate at least one of these reasons, so I did my best. Not only did I feed the text itself to the AI, but I also carefully described the context of what’s happening on each page so that the artificial idiot could “understand” it as well as possible, maybe even better than the natural one kekek. I did everything else myself, and I constantly monitored and corrected the AI’s work throughout the translation process. Nevertheless, I realize that there are various errors in this translation—both mine and the AI’s. I’m asking you all to point out these errors, because my English isn’t that strong—it’s my third language, and I mainly use it for reading. Thanks in advance.
And yes, my typesetting sucks, I know.

Nice dolphin pr0n.

I don't know, seems fine, without the original to compare to you can't really tell, also you missed a piece of dialog on page 010.

There's untranslated text, it's right there.
It's a detail but if the author took the time to handwrite it you might as well translate it.

Done, the dolphin porn archive has been replaced, the link is the same. Or just that page: https://drive.proton.me/urls/AY201NDJZ0#VoW4NVJkoPac.

There are the signs everywhere lol.
I’d be more than happy not to use AI to translate this manga if someone would pay for a human translator. Two or three cents per character, 400–700 bucks per tankobon.

Well, you're missing more handwritten text on page 8 (in the file numbering).
I'd also drop that question mark on page 20, it's a more exacerbated line (and it kinda looks like a typo)

Well, I'm just a novice translator, but I didn't notice any translation mistakes to write home about, so I guess you're probably fine.

 

[TehMouse]

Checked and fixed all the missed text. SFXes are omitted intentionally.
The updated archive have been replaced, the link is the same. If no one has any objections or comments by tomorrow morning, I'll try to post the first chapter on mangadex.

 

[TehMouse]

Сhapter three is here.
This time, I'm much less confident that some of the lines translated by the AI are correct.

 

[TehMouse]

Well, since none of the people who downloaded chapter three (a whole single download!) have any objections to the dialogue style or the language in general, I'm uploading it to mangadex.
Oh, I just found a mistake in the title. It's always a good idea to double-check before committing.

The draft translation of 4th chapter is ready for your reviews.
