Bad Stuff About Baka Tsuki

[larethian]

Well, what was said is true to certain extent, but I don't really give a shit about it.

[onizuka-gto]

the point being, if you think there is a problem, then you are welcomed to contribute and make it better.
On the other hand, if you don't do anything to address the problem, then I can only assume that you can't...which is fine, as long as you acknowledge it.

Don't forget about our cursing role models.

This is about the Clannad project that was once held on BT-->

There’s actually a translation project up for it on Baka-Tsuki, but the quality is about what you would expect from that site – check it out at your own risk.

Same site

Wow, your English prose is really excellent (in general, and especially by comparison to the dreck that passes for “translations” on Baka-Tsuki/etc)

On the light novel insults side, we have

>“Knights of the Blood”? The poke is this shit?

Blame Baka-Tsuki >_>

Same site

Baka-Tsuki should be used as for references, but definitely not for the final decision. Reason being that the TLs there somehow don’t have as much say as some of the editors who lurk there all day who are japanophile control freaks that *have* to have series be done their way.

Saying this because I’ve been observing the power struggles and stuff there for a while now, I’ve actually seen some of those editors drive a translator away from the site (killing a series in the process) because he fought against some wording changes they had to have their way for some reason. It wasn’t a grammar or English issue either, just a control thing.

and the follow up comment was this ,it..seems like an insult and probably is..but anything negative concerning BT goes right???

Spoiler! :

Actually, for shits and giggles: ‘Zero2001′ at B-T is one of those instigators, he’s helped kill at least 1-2 series already, and is probably the biggest control freak I’ve seen there after lurking for years on that site.

Also seen him be a dramamongering jackass to a few would-be newbie editors a lot lately, so poke him. I really, really don’t like control freaks (D_S exception, at least he’s smart enough to recognize it and be funny with it).

Change his totally necessary “series improvements” back and write some reasoning in the discussion. Hook, line and sinker. He likes to look up your IP and pretend to know where you live (or talk shit about proxies/anonymity), and then deletes everything in discussion and pretends nothing happened. Have fun, anyone who participates.

Well, these are actually legit remark, tbh. Especially the "Knights of the Blood" one, though that's on the author.

^^' They don't really know japanese, so they can't get the meaning of katakana... Ignorance is bliss, you know, but they could try to inform themselves before saying such things
Anyway, we have a nice collection of quote about the french translation of SAO on BT.

About SAO, not really bad about BT, but funny enough I find :
(those are three persons talking)

>Les traducteurs anglais vont vraiment très vite je trouve.
-On appel ça des speedsubber.
+Depuis quand on sub des LN ?

>The english translators are really fast, I find.
-You call that "speedsubber".
+Since when do you "sub" light novels?

[Misogi]

Some corrections on the translation.

[Lery]

Actually it was a lot more casual as even my version ^^'' And also contained a lot of mistakes (in French).
Don't you think your version looks way too "adult" to really give the impression you should have when you read that...?
Those are barely literate guys talking on a forum, in the end.

I guess if should be more like Bestnumber's textese as like what we both wrote.

Blame Baka-Tsuki >_>

Blame baka-tsuki? Dude... the author named it so using E-N-G-L-I-S-H letters. Why is baka-tsuki to blame for that? Just a bunch of know-nothings mouthing off because they've got nothing else to do all day. Ignore the idiots.

[Lery]

Ignore the idiots.

Actually, we made this thread to laugh at them

[onizuka-gto]

To laugh at others, you must be able to laugh at ourselves.

I sometimes think this is an unofficial motto of the British
(And some of our close cousins who live opposite us of the channel, can't beat us, might as well join us, aimrite? )

Well, being able to laugh at ourselves bring some happiness... and about the second matter I won't make any coment about it, I just like UK and I want to go there someday .

[Zero2001]

I just like UK and I want to go there someday .

I'm there right now

[Nurin]

lol, but I'm on the opposite side of the channel,it's not like I can go there when ever I want

[Zero2001]

Yeah well I'm only here for my studies (overseas postgraduate student).

I'll be returning to my homeland in September (and that's in the Tropic of Cancer).
