[AMicrowave]

if the reading is jenky I just give up trying altogether and use context inference instead, the conspiracy group/cult is a classic troupe anyways.

trope, troupe is a group of people working in entertainment, like a circus troupe

Thanks for pointing that out, but saying it's MTL after a single mistake seems a bit much, no?

Fine, here's some more (and not all of them either - -)
Page 1: "Imperial March". "辺境領", even google TL give "Frontier Territory" so....
Page 8: Julia's "wait for me" literally is not what it said in RAW. She said "I'll go I'll go~" (行く 行くー)
Page 9: Liberato saying "I" does not make sense. He's referring to Noah/Will bringing Julia here to introduce Rei. (the first bubble can just be 'yo')
Page 11: Lilia should be saying "...(I've) brought him/her" (forgor if Mithra's gender's mentioned - - could also just do "...I've brought Mithra" I suppose)

There's other things like not 'translating' the emphasis dots (like on page 2, at the same time/simultaneously was emphasized)
"If it's not MTL, why MTL level."

Sorry if it wasn't TLed in the best way but this wasn't MTL ^^' I do admit that I did a slip up on Rei's presentation bubble, idk why I thought it was a "わるい [space] ...." like how people would say "sorry, I'm ....". It is indeed just "I'm not a bad/evil monster", thx for pointing it out.

I'm still new to TL and I'll do my best to not have such obvious mistakes happen again. Sorry.

Well, don't feel the need to add pronoun to every sentence, because that's probably one thing MTLs keep doing and most of the time they're wrong.
Also after you've done translating once, try going away for a few hours then come back to check your own TL for mistakes.

I usually follow the RAW so I don't bother bringing up issues unless it's glaring like that very iconic reference being mistranslated.

Okay so

Page 1: "Imperial March". "辺境領", even google TL give "Frontier Territory" so....

"帝国の辺境領" Empire's March or basically imperial march, if you look at the wikipedia page for Spain's MARCH "スペイン辺境領" You'll notice that it gets defined as a March.

Page 8: Julia's "wait for me" literally is not what it said in RAW. She said "I'll go I'll go~" (行く 行くー)

I simply reworded it while keeping the original intent of her being excited to go. I could've TL'd it literally but idk, this just sounds off in English. The role of a TL, I feel, and even according to a friend of mine who was a TL for many years and is obviously leagues ahead of me in TL and JP, is to convey meaning while staying close to the text AND while sounding natural in the Target Language. "I'll go I'll go" just sounds weird to my ears and this is just nitpicking at this point because we get intent that she's excited to go.

Page 9: Liberato saying "I" does not make sense. He's referring to Noah/Will bringing Julia here to introduce Rei. (the first bubble can just be 'yo')

First, about the "yo". や being TLed as Hi is correct, so would be Yo. Idk at the time I hesitated between a simple hi or yo but went with hi (Now in retrospect I could've went with yo because of his cool guy vibe, sure).
And now for the 2nd part, I'll hand it to you, I may have confused who specifically was being brought here, and later with Mithra.

There's other things like not 'translating' the emphasis dots (like on page 2, at the same time/simultaneously was emphasized)
"If it's not MTL, why MTL level."

As I just said if you read my reply, I'm new to TL and tbf, I simply didn't know what those dots meant. A comment simply saying "hey you forgot about the emphasis dots btw" would've been much more appreciated than immediately calling everything I did MTL when they're simply human mistakes. Now I'll know what those dots are and will make sure I won't forget them next time, thanks.

Well, don't feel the need to add pronoun to every sentence, because that's probably one thing MTLs keep doing and most of the time they're wrong.

You mean stating the character's names instead of pronouns or what? I'm aware that it's a TL trap to put too many times pronouns like "I" but I don't feel like I've exaggerated on that front?



You know, I'm someone who sincerely appreciates feedback and I don't mind if people point out TL mistakes I did because then I can simply learn to avoid making them in the future. You know for example your OG comment about the "glaring mtl mistake" of the "bad monster"? Would MTL REALLY mess up such an easy TL?
This was clearly a dumb but human mistake here, even another TL on the team agreed after having a look at it.
So instead of speaking so confidently on what is MTL and what isn't, maybe you should keep it at pointing out mistakes in a nicer way which would benefit everyone

And lastly I've simply never read nor watched Reincarnated as a slime so I wasn't aware of the reference at the time, sorry ^^'

 

[albirew]

yeah... they all do it like this, starting with "i wanna go to his house!" and ending with "i won't let you sleep tonight...♥"

on another note, i haven't found much issue on TL (maybe because english is not my main language tbh)
if i was picky, i'd say the jester explanation mixed with jester moron's speech, but that's an issue on the author-san side...

"帝国の辺境領" Empire's March or basically imperial march, if you look at the wikipedia page for Spain's MARCH "スペイン辺境領" You'll notice that it gets defined as a March.

Alright I had to look it up, and while it's possible it is a march, it doesn't feel like it is.
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/March_(territory)>
More specifically, a march was a border between realms or a neutral buffer zone under joint control of two states in which different laws might apply.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_March
"military buffer zone"
But in this first page it's said to be territory under Empire's direct control + I don't recall the kingdom and the empire being hostile to each other (admittedly I just skim through those backstory page a lot .- .)

If I was TLing I would've gone for the safer choice and call it the frontier/border.

I simply reworded it while keeping the original intent of her being excited to go. I could've TL'd it literally but idk, this just sounds off in English. The role of a TL, I feel, and even according to a friend of mine who was a TL for many years and is obviously leagues ahead of me in TL and JP, is to convey meaning while staying close to the text AND while sounding natural in the Target Language. "I'll go I'll go" just sounds weird to my ears and this is just nitpicking at this point because we get intent that she's excited to go.

"Wait for me" doesn't seem to suggest that. Especially when they're inviting her to go right now (they're ALREADY waiting for her reply)
I don't mind changing words/sentence to convey the correct meaning, but for me this wasn't the right choice.

First, about the "yo". や being TLed as Hi is correct, so would be Yo. Idk at the time I hesitated between a simple hi or yo but went with hi (Now in retrospect I could've went with yo because of his cool guy vibe, sure).
And now for the 2nd part, I'll hand it to you, I may have confused who specifically was being brought here, and later with Mithra.

Context is what matter here. His first line maybe ambiguous, but the 2nd line show he's talking mainly to Noah/Will.
So a more generic "hey" into "(I see) you've brought her" would've sound better.
But you've recognized that mistake so.

As I just said if you read my reply, I'm new to TL and tbf, I simply didn't know what those dots meant. A comment simply saying "hey you forgot about the emphasis dots btw" would've been much more appreciated than immediately calling everything I did MTL when they're simply human mistakes. Now I'll know what those dots are and will make sure I won't forget them next time, thanks.

Given how many MTLs try to claim they totally did the translation despite glaring mistakes, I've just assumed anything that look sorta MTL was probably MTL'd until proven otherwise.
And you've proven otherwise.

You mean stating the character's names instead of pronouns or what? I'm aware that it's a TL trap to put too many times pronouns like "I" but I don't feel like I've exaggerated on that front?

But it led to you making mistake with Liberato's line.
So figure out the context first before putting, if any, pronoun.

Would MTL REALLY mess up such an easy TL?
This was clearly a dumb but human mistake here, even another TL on the team agreed after having a look at it.

Some of the worse ones would straight up rewrite how the line should be.
At the end of the day it's a tool, it's not flawless especially when put in the hand of a monkey with no clue what IS the correct result.

And lastly I've simply never read nor watched Reincarnated as a slime so I wasn't aware of the reference at the time, sorry ^^'

That series is just one of the recent/popular series that make the reference, the OG is much older (Dragon Quest is celebrating its 40th year anniversary this year)

 

[RanmaChaos]

Thanks for the chapter

 

[Seetee]

Thank you for the translation!

Some of the speech bubbles make me confused. Sometimes our MC seems to think things to himself, but then everyone knows it and acts on it. Is this the manga-ka trying to save time by not drawing his writing-in-the-air-trick every time?

 

[PrivatePublic]

Immediately read the two threatening groups as the Masked Fools and the Antimatter Legion.
Curse you Star Rail brain worms!

 

[gab177]

honestly might be one of my favorite manga depending on how it goes, i need more of it now lol

thanks for the tl!!
