Osoraku Kanojo wa Ore no Aniki wo Neratteru - Ch. 24

Hell yeah, sniping one of the most popular series currently on the website with questionable translation, let The Games begin!

 

[andrespeg]

why

 

[Shitno]

why

 

[Goldenn]

Rei, you better sit the hell down cause I don’t want you interfering at all😭

Please say he doesn’t try to get in the way or something dumb🙏

Why did you snip this? This growing trend of sniping series that are actively being translated and then on top of it doing so with worse fonts and translations is saddening.

 

[itgf]

why not translate something that isn't being worked on? why snipe an active translation?

 

[Parnifia]

Truly a baffling thought process.

 

[Latium]

🍿bold strategy, cotton

 

[havelmom]

confess
do it

was just coming to ask if Uwaki Scans had said they weren't continuing this series.
Guess I'll wait and see if they also release this chapter.



Good Faith suggestions for the TL of this particular one-

• Find raws that are as high-definition as you can. The sharpness of the text against the lower resolution images is very jarring, especially the tonal contrast in the start black against all the washed out tones.
• Pay attention to punctuation. It might end up localizing things a bit, but it helps format sentence structure better than leaving everything without a terminal, and if those are absent in the original Japanese, remember that English is a different language--and linguistic conventions over how the two are written should be considered.
• Look at examples of other translations and how they typeset. Don't break words apparent when it can be avoided, and be willing to resize blocks of text entirely to ensure they fit neatly into the provided spaces.
• Practice redrawing. It's an incredibly useful skill, and it will allow full-replacement of Japanese text with your language of choice, meaning you won't have awkward, hard-to-read translations floating over tonally-similar backgrounds that lead to visual confusion when reading the chapter.
• Have multiple people who are native speakers who can proofread and ensure that both spelling and grammar are accurate, but also the "flow of speech". Whether you're doing this manually or using MTL (and if you're doing the latter....well, I'll leave my own opinions at the door), giving the whole chapter a couple iterations of review will help catch clunky phrasing, or places where dialogue stops and starts, and inconsistencies in morphology or conjugation/tense usage.
  
  
• Practice with series that aren't currently popular and that have an active team already working on them. If you have to, then it's best etiquette to reach out to said team and get their express permission as a courtesy. More than one series has been dropped by a dedicated team because people don't do this, and it hurts the community as a whole.

 

[wiwowiwooo]

sniping a series with this level of tl sure is something LOL

 

[Exeos]

okay so why is your first ever translation a series that another group (that is actually good at it) is already actively working on? that is just not very smart, please pick something else.

Dont even give this person critique. The quality is horrible. The TS is non existent. Fonts don't fit the characters. They are trying to get popular by sniping an already decently done series. Giving any kind of feedback to these people is doing a disservice to the group actually putting in effort.

 

[iamhumi]

It's great to see more translators but please show that love to the comics that don't have a translator!!

 

[Kaito57]

Let me guess : Rei is going to cry "Boohoo !! I can't do it anymore !! Please, take my place, lil bro !!" because of course he can't let his little brother have a peaceful win in life...

 

[DivyamJoshi18]

If that guy walks around Hojou or asks him to come I am gonna fckin lose it

 

[Darkshade13]

Man, I remember when scanlators used to have standards.

 

[Uwakiscans]

For those who are reading here, we have not dropped this series and are still diligently working on our version. Please look forward to it!
