Thanks for preview of vol.3 ch.3!Darknemo2000 wrote:Does anyone plan to do volume 3 chapter 1? Cause if no one is doing or planning to do it I guess I should then.
Serenade said that he might wprk on it after he finished Volume 5 Chapter 1.

As far as I understand it, Serenade_Beta "might work" on chapter; Darknemo2000 speaks about preview. I don't see any contradictions here, and I don't see a reason for them to wait for each other. Well, if I missed something, and there really are some problems, I'd suggest two translators to divide work between themselves directly.<DeotoxSlayer>: Serenade said that he might wprk on it after he finished Volume 5 Chapter 1.

<DeotoxSlayer>: Why don't you just work on Volume 4 for now, and if Serenade doesnt translate it then you can do it later.
Some translators don't work on chapters if their's a preview out for it already.Const2k wrote:As far as I understand it, Serenade_Beta "might work" on chapter; Darknemo2000 speaks about preview.

Words in bold (bolded by me) are absolutely correct in general sense; downside is that they don't provide useful information in our exact situation. That's the reason I suggested two translators - Darknemo2000 and Serenade_Beta - to negotiate between themselves directly. Otherwise there's simply no firm information to base a decision on.DeotoxSlayer wrote: Serenade said that he might wprk on it after he finished Volume 5 Chapter 1.

Well, though there is no real contradiction in that but I usually prefer to do preview to chapters that do need it rather than working on the same one at the same time.As far as I understand it, Serenade_Beta "might work" on chapter; Darknemo2000 speaks about preview.

For me it sounds like he is more willing to translate Volume 6 than 3 so i don't know...Hmm... After I finish chp. 1 of Volume 5, I'd prefer a different chapter (other than V.5/Chp.3) like Volume 3's untranslated chapter or the final chapter of Volume 6 (because it sounds so fun to translate that pyromaniacs' lines...) because chp3 of volume 5 focuses on... well... those two (Henrietta and her emo swordswomanAgnes)...
uh...well why don't you just do some of the earlier chapter of Volume 4 for now, and if Serenade decides no to work on Volume 3 Chapter 1 after finishing Volume 5 Chapter 1, then you can do a preview for it.Darknemo2000 wrote:Well, though there is no real contradiction in that but I usually prefer to do preview to chapters that do need it rather than working on the same one at the same time.As far as I understand it, Serenade_Beta "might work" on chapter; Darknemo2000 speaks about preview.

Again it should be noted that my preview take more time compared to Matt's for example as he uses only a very few translation means and thus it takes him faster but also decreases the quality of the preview and increases the chance of mistake.
Since I work with many MT and dictionaries my previews take longer but also makes it rather close to what original translation would be. There may (and probably will) still be mistakes yet the number is decreased considerably.
But because it is time consuming process to provide high quality preview I would prefer to do that for a chapter that is really in need and doesn't have a translation who works or plan's to work on it.
