However, my strongest language is English, followed by Chinese and then Japanese. I've learned English throughout my entire life, with around 6-7 years spent in Chinese and a mere 2 years on Japanese. Knowing Chinese is a cheap shortcut to Japanese though, which is why I chose it as my third language. I translate as a way of improving my Japanese. I'm new to all of this translation stuff so don't hesitate to point out mistakes and whatnot.<br /> <br /> <br /> == '''Stance on Translations''' ==<br /> <br /> <br /> I translate with details in mind, trying to stick as close as possible to the original source. I know that by keeping all the details possible, reading flow in English might be a little jarring, but I believe details should not be omitted no matter the cost. I won't forgo reading flow completely though, and will always think of how to structure the sentence to get the best of both worlds.<br /> <br /> I like to nitpick about the smallest things, such as when a sentence might sound too long in English. I would prefer to keep it in one sentence like the original but understand that it would flow better if it is split instead.<br /> <br /> I'm the type of person who would literally translate jokes even if they don't make sense and explain it afterward. To me, using an English counterpart for such a thing isn't translating, but localizing. The English counterparts usually sound very awkward in context anyway in my experience. That said, in the most extreme cases, I won't be opposed to doing so if it vastly improves sentence flow.<br /> <br /> I also dislike skipping chapters when translating, even when someone else has already translated them. It bugs me when I translate without knowing what previous things were translated as.<br /> <br /> <br /> == '''Current Projects''' ==<br /> <br /> <br /> '''Hidan no Aria v01'''<br /> *Prologue: I found many details to be missing so I'll probably just add them in while trying to improve flow or make a second revision.<br /> *Chapter 1: Same as prologue.<br /> *Chapter 2: Incomplete, plan to finish.<br /> *Chapter 3: Incomplete, plan to finish.</div>
