||
| − | I have Japanese cultural knowledge as much as an ordinary Japanese. |
||
| + | 入らないテロップが流れている。 |
||
| − | Although I'm a native speaker, Haruhi series may require tons of knowledge to correctly translate it with translation notes. By the way, when I read them, I just skipped unknown words. |
||
| + | 私は目を閉じて喧騒を聞いた。 |
||
| − | But I have dependable friends: Japanese Google and Wikipedia, and etc, So I don't have a fear of translating them. |
||
| + | 街は全ての煌めきを湛え、輝き眠らない。 |
||
| + | ただ貴方を想う。 |

||
| − | === I'm a translation adviser === |
||
| + | there is overflowing text on the screen. |
||
| − | You can query any japanese-related translation difficulties. This is my top priority in my contributions. There are many ways to conntact me, for example just write in my talk page or tell me an URL where your problem is written on Official IRC Channel or my talk page. |
||
| + | I close my eyes to listen to the city's noise. |

| + | 歩く時間さえ惜しくて |
||
| − | === Rationale === |
||
| + | 焦燥感が心を包むから |
||
| + | 私は人混みの中走り出した |
||
| + | 歩く時間さえ惜しくて焦燥感が心を包む。 |
||
| − | My definition of QC is to compare translated text and original text to find mistranlations. And If I find it, I inform it via the corresponding talk page or forum. Thus, I basically don't edit text directly. |
||
| + | だから私は人混みの中を走り出した。 |
||
| − | Another work of QC is to answer questions from translators and editors. |
||
| + | I don't want to waste time walking. |
||
| − | I think it is inherent in tranlation that there is the problem which to tranlate text in original or target language-like way. |
||
| + | Driven by that impatience, |
||
| − | It is difficult to answer the problem generally. And we should address each problem, considering the contexts. |
||
| + | I can't help but run in the crowd. |
||
| − | The discussion is beyond my work from the definition of QC. Basically, I only supply information. The discussion suits target-language native speakers, if they can get enough information from original-language native ones to decide which way is better. |

||
| + | 曖昧にごまかしたりしないで |
||
| + | 貴方のために作った時間。 |
||
| − | === Rationale === |
||
| + | 貴方のために書いたメール。 |
||
| − | I checked few parts of translation. I'm unsure about it, but apparently, some trivial detail meanings are dropped in the translation process all over the project. There was no choice. If A translator had worked on each translation of a sentence until he/she had made it flawless, enormous time would have been consumed. |
||
| + | 全部届けてよ、ねぇ。 |
||
| + | 曖昧にごまかしたりしないで。 |
||
| + | My time spent for you. |
||
| − | I also would spend as much time as them, if I should do the same thing. I think it is better to proof-read the entire project in order to eliminate mistranslation, skipping such small details. |

| + | 合わせて高鳴る胸 |
||
| − | Following types is defined in a way based on importance of a suggestion and whether it mainly relates to a cultural background. |
||
| + | 絡む手も 合わせた足並みも |
||
| − | ; high : Suggestions about a mistranslation which has potential possibilities of inconsistency with the storyline. |
||
| + | 震えを必死に押さえて |
||
| − | ; normal : Suggestions about a mistranslation which makes only sense within the English text. In other words, it isn't faithful to the corresponding original. Therefore, Editors cannot detect it by their own. |
||
| + | その先は見えないけど |
||
| − | ; low : Suggestions about a mistranslation whose meaning are a bit awkward, weird, etc in a smaller piece than a single sentence, for example substitution of words. |
||
| + | 今の鼓動だけを感じて |
||
| − | ; lowest : Suggestions about a mistranslation which drops very detail meanings or feelings, aka ''neglect''.... |
||
| − | ; culture : Suggestions in terms of Japanese cultural perspective for a particular translation part to become understandable easily, which is something like ''Translation Note''. |
||
| + | Beats drummed by you |

||
| + | Beats drummed by you(OR: beats drumming inside you) |
||
