- <RSanon> Hi, ELH said to message you
- <RSanon> I'm the other translator for t-rex
- <RSanon> got a sec?
- <Yakkul> 20 mins before I leave
- <RSanon> I just need a minute
- <Yakkul> k
- <RSanon> I'm not so good with slurring speech, and I've come across a particularly difficult line
- <RSanon> かぜにやんかひかねんらよ
- <Yakkul> who is saying it
- <Yakkul> what kind of person
- <RSanon> Churio, she's got a cold and yelling at youma
- <Yakkul> does she always slur
- <RSanon> in this scene, yes, because of the cold
- <RSanon> also, there's a watashi wa before that
- <RSanon> sorry
- <Yakkul> Can I see the whole page
- <Yakkul> one thing to keep in mind is you can never give too much context
- <Yakkul> even for a single line
- <Yakkul> you can't translate something properly without the full context
- <RSanon> http://i.imgur.com/VhOLuco.jpg
- <Yakkul> how'd you tl the previous line
- <RSanon> "You... you poisoned me to keep me here, didn't you?"
- <Yakkul> wait... for the おめぇ~わたしのこと line?
- <RSanon> yea
- <Yakkul> It's not poison but "underestimate"
- <RSanon> なめ is underestimate?
- <Yakkul> nameru
- <RSanon> or did I confuse something
- <Yakkul> 舐める
- <Yakkul> that works also means lick
- <Yakkul> hue
- <RSanon> I thought it was like she thought she tasted poison
- <Yakkul> Nope.
- <RSanon> so she's saying something more like, "Are you underestimating me?"
- <Yakkul> Yeah
- <Yakkul> Are you underestimating me? I'd never catch a cold. kind of thing.
- <Yakkul> I want to TL it like "I'm not some common lizard, ya know." // "Like hell I'd catch a cold." Of course, that's without knowing any of the context of this character's personality
- <Yakkul> and of course, without the cold bit
- <Yakkul> I have to leave pretty soon now though, but
- <RSanon> hmmm
- <RSanon> thanks for your help
- <Yakkul> I'd just suggest listening to how people sound when they have a cold
- <Yakkul> I'm not immediately sure how I would write it to suggest that they have one
- <Yakkul> so that's what I would do
- <Yakkul> although are you sure she's got that cold sound?
- <Yakkul> I guess idk how she usually talks
- <Yakkul> she probably does huh.
- <Yakkul> anyway, sorry gtg.
- <Yakkul> I'd love to stay longer but alas
- <RSanon> I couldn't figure out the last column at all and figured it was a cold slur
- <RSanon> and I haven't seen her use nya before
- <Yakkul> Okay
- <Yakkul> then it's probably sick face
- <Yakkul> good luck then!
- <RSanon> thanks
- <Yakkul> yeah that's tough since the main sounds that are altered when you have a cold are vowels and the m/n
- <Yakkul> adding a *sniff* in the middle of the line might help
- <Yakkul> and now I'm gone 4 real
