I'm not the most skilled scanlator out there but I managed to do the
scanning, cleaning, and typesetting for 100+ chapters of Inuyasha.

I figured I'd step up since I'm not in the least happy with how the
long-awaited chapter 6 turned out. Poor text placement and LtR piss me off.

Off you go.

This is a no-complaint, just fucking do it community. If you're not
happy with something, you don't moan about it in a rather passive
aggressive manner, you redo the work I put in and I will happily update
the website with your version.

Hi :)

In case you're thinking of fixing/redoing chapter 6, consider including the following amendments suggested by me and Anton way back when:

- Page 4 top panel, I don't suppose it's possible to fit in the full name of the SICP book? It's a fairly well-known book after all and I think the reference adds a small touch of hidden geek-delight to the scene. At least for me >.< Here's an image of the original book cover: http://mitpress.mit.edu/sicp/full-text/book/cover.jpg

- Next panel, the bubble that says "Girls have such a weak spot for magic" is said by Akane in the original but here it sounds like it's a continuation of Akiha's speech. Not sure if that's intentional, but if we're still attributing that bubble to Akane then maybe something like "Girls are weak against magic yknow" would be better if the one in the googledoc takes too much space.

- Page 5 panel 3, I think what Akane said in the original had a "oh the odds are so stacked against me and so I can't help it, I'm going to yield!" sort of vibe. So maybe a better shortening would be something like "Alright! I guess there's no helping it... I'll sell my soul to this demon!"

(with perhaps "You even have my husband hostage" in small print. Not really important I guess, but I just thought the hostage part was pretty funny :P )


Page 4, first panel: it'd be better to use smaller text and/or allow part of "structure" to be obscured by the edge of the panel than to get the name wrong on the cover since we're referencing a book that not only exists, but is very well known and commonly regarded almost as a holy tome (along with the dragon book, it's pretty much required reading for any serious computer scientist.) Also, could we find a better way to express Akane's giddiness at getting the book? "Yes!" doesn't really convey giddy to me. :/ (But feel free to tell me that it should if I'm wrong; I'm not a native speaker after all.)
Page 4, second panel: the line about girls having a soft spot for magic belongs to Akane, not Akiha, so the placing is wrong and the derogatory re-wording doesn't fit. (Also changed the spreadsheet to "soft spot" from "weak spot;" I thought it worked slightly better.)

Page 7, panels 5 and 6: I noticed that you omitted the "sleep deprived to the limit" thing so I took a second look at the translation and realized that it was stupid. Changed it in the spreadsheet to "Because of Akiha's stupid errands" / "I just want to lie down and sleep for a week" - we might want to include it, to give an even stronger indicator of Akane being less-than-happy with Akiha's requirements for lending her the wizard book.

Page 8, first panel: how did "Ubuntu" turn into "Risa"?
Page 8, second panel here's where "Risa" should go.
Page 8, fourth panel: "welcome, Karmic" omitted. Doesn't really add anything to the story, but I thought I should point it out if you forgot it rather than cut it out.

Also, seconding the "holding my husband hostage" (though betrothed or some synonym thereof would be more consistent with earler dialogue) bit, I think that'd work pretty well!

Meanwhile I'll go take a look at what's still missing in the spreadsheet for chapter 8. I had thought we finished it.

Okay I did a run through of the spreadsheet and filled in the missing SFX sounds with my best estimates since no one seems to have been able to put in something better. Also made some minor amendments and also fixed the positioning of some of the romaji transcriptions. Didn't pay too much attention to that last though, especially since the romaji used appears to be a different form from what I'm used to.

Anyway, I think the English translation is complete now, just post if you need anything else on the spreadsheet.

Also, it would be great to know if anyone is willing to typeset chapters 9, 10 and 11; starting translation on them feels a bit pointless if the scripts are just going to be lying around for a year or two.

I'd be willing to do it depending on how chapter 8 goes.
But I am falling in like? for this series so I'd most likely have it (ch9) finished before summer holidays are over (I'm from Australia, so that's Dec-Jan).

I was also considering translating it myself if no one did, even if my translations are horrible.
Will you link me to the spreadsheet or doc of the translation when you're done? (Perhaps put them in a new topic...) Thanks heaps! Great to know someone else can translate!

Yes, I saw that and have all the sources downloaded from aerialline =)
Just wasn't sure if someone cleaned it already.
I'm planning to do RTL, is there a RTL warning page for ch8?

Also, for the spreadsheet, I had to check revision history because someone (can't tell who, didn't sign in) seems to have (probably unwittlingly) cleared and edited giberish into a cell.
Would you mind checking the translations for me? (my revisions are under vcgamesii)

Thanks,

I can typeset in my subpar, gimp-based, non-vector way if we need it and don't mind having gimp sources rather than nice vector image sources. That's all I know how to do :)

I just did a quick look through. Everything looks okay, except Page 4 Panel 5 background text:

"This is hypothesis still within reason"

That sounded a little weird to me, was the that original translation? I think "This is still reasonable" or "This much is still reasonable" might be better.

Otherwise looks good. If you plan to typeset this then that'll be best since I have no experience and expertise, so we should only use me to hack things together as last resort :P

I changed it to "This analogy is still within reason." or acceptable bounds if that fits better? Please write in/comment on the spreadsheet itself because that'll be what I'll be referring to when I typeset.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AoU0j7W2_dPTdEFHTmczRVZHdjBhWnRVMl9nMlNDQWc#gid=0

I haven't typeset much myself and haven't done much work in GIMP (pretty much none in photoshop). Here's my first page of typesetting in Ubunchu. It's not perfect but I think it's acceptable, might touch it up a bit more, and maybe warp the text on the note, though not sure of the procedure for that.
http://i407.photobucket.com/albums/pp160/peacedudes12/Shared_WebUploads/ubunchu08_0011.png

I definitely would be glad to get some help either in advice or typesetting of other pages. It'll definitely make for faster releases (I'm entering exam period soon). If you keep your GIMP .xcf images and all the layers (don't flatten them and use layers for every typeset) then someone/I'll be able to touch them up if needed. Just pick some pages to do =).
Fonts I'm using: Main speech - Anime Ace 2.0, Notes: Felt Thin, SFX/Shouts: Yikes! , That 'Though it was indeed a very brief moment' - Augie, (Also Monospace for the terminal font and Ubuntu Bold for 'Flash'. Forgot what font I used for 'Stomp' >< (once I transform text, I lose font info and can't edit the text) but I think there's a better font for it, not sure what though (I thought Snap ITC but that's a bit off).

I also realised the aerialline.com sources have layers for everything so there's pretty much no cleaning work needed! =D Makes working on source files so much easier xD. Just turn off the visibility of layers you don't need like all the Japanese text =P

Looks good to me. IIRC, moofang did most of the work on this chapter, so he probably remembers more of it than I do.

I think it looks pretty nice. Definitely good enough by scanlation standards, and I don't think we'll be able to rise above that (even doujinshi look pretty darn good nowadays) without going all vector on it.

Is the license of Anime Ace OK? It seems to be free for "independent comic book creation and non-profit use ONLY" which I guess would be OK since the CC-BY-NC is also non-profit only. [Long rant about "non-commercial" being a completely useless term and licenses depending on it being even more useless, etc.]

This is why I was a little confused about the "cleaned sources" question. Best part about working on Ubunchu: no bloody cleaning, redrawing, levelling, etc. of crappy low-res scans.

I wanted to be jealous and pick out faults. But the point here is that
you have none, it's a great type set with some nice and smooth work.

The only thing different I would have done is removing the double
vertical bubbles and replaced with a horz one. but that's just
aesthetics. As it is it's perfect.

Keep up the good work guys!

Hi All,

The "First page" was the first page I did (which was actually the last page of the chapter).
I just did the first page of the chapter (excluding title page <- that one would be tricky =P).
Here are links:
http://i407.photobucket.com/albums/pp160/peacedudes12/Shared_WebUploads/ubunchu08_0002.png
http://i407.photobucket.com/albums/pp160/peacedudes12/Shared_WebUploads/ubunchu08_0011.png

@Jordan, I'm using GIMP (lol no money for Photoshop, and why would you need photoshop when GIMP is so good already - unless one really needed to use a photoshop plugin not offered in GIMP and didn't have other FOSS solutions). Have fun with GIMP! (If you're into media, might I also suggest Inkscape, Audacity, Aegisub, Handbrake, Open Shot Video editor (Linux) as my personal favourite FOSS in what they do.)

I finish my exams in 4 weeks, so don't expect too much. I'll probably only be typesetting when I'm taking a break from study etc.
Constructive criticisms welcome!

Also, does anyone have a credit (and read this RtL) page, otherwise I'll have to make one ...

Things I need:

1. Credits: I need to know who were the:
translators, editers, typesetters (me lol), QC etc. To keep things simple I may just do two categories: translator and editor/typesetter.
I really only need the translators that worked on the google doc (I don't know which google account is who, apart from you Sysy lol, but what name do you want to be credited as?), as the editor should only be me and perhaps Martin/others if he QCs.

2. RtL page: This is page 2 of http://divajutta.com/doctormo/ubunchu/ubunchu-05-rtl.pdf or page 2 of any rtl pdf from ubunchu.net
If we don't have one already done for this chapter, I'll make one. I don't think I found one for the other language translations I could use.
At first I thought our credits go on this page but apparently it goes on the front page. I do like to keep the original artwork as un-obscured by new stuff like credits as possible though.

Since everybody here can contribute to that translation file on
googledocs, just use ubunchu translator team or something like that,
with the full url of this mailing list
(http://groups.google.com/group/ubunchu)

For the RTL page, of course you can always make a new one. :)
If you like the original artwork intact, you can always make the
credit page as the last page.

That's some heavy works you got there. :D Thanks. :)
Are you still working for chapter 08? Because actually, it is already
finished. Now, all's left for chapter 08 is to put the words back into
manga. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?authkey=CI_m9pMC&key=0AoU0j7W2_dPTdEFHTmczRVZHdjBhWnRVMl9nMlNDQWc&hl=en_US&authkey=CI_m9pMC#gid=0

Sorry if I don't really get your e-mail. English is not my primary language. :)
Btw, it takes me a while to realize that "Bruitage and Ecran" are "SFX
and Computers", not new manga characters. =))

IIRC, moofang did the main part of the translation work on chapter 8. (Looking at the revision history of the spreadsheet confirms this.)

Lol, thanks =)
I've got all the ch.8 pages done, just need to QA/QC and make the fonts uniform and look nice.
(In assignment week atm, so might not get that released in the next 7 days).

For the credits, i just did translators as: Anton Ekbald, Sysw, me, and Ubunchu team
I also put the typesetter as me, and added a link to http://groups.google.com/group/ubunchu
When I release it do I have to send it in for further QC or can I release it to the world from my blog?

Wow, activity :) been busy and more or less forgot about all this.

Btw, would be great if you could add me to the translators list, since I did most of it (for english) for chapter 8. Either by name or just as "Jason moofang" would be fine. Thanks :)

I suggest pestering everyone here about doing QC; eyeballs and bugs, you know.

Over at Little White Butterflies there's a requirement for at least three people to QC and OK any release. In spite of that mistakes still slip through, sometimes bad enough to necessitate a V2 - Ubunchu has quite a bit more dialogue than most LWB stuff, so it's probably a good idea to assume that we'll make both more and worse mistakes.

OK, so I have holidays again so I've finally done some work on it. But I cbs'd QA/QC'ing it majorly/properly and thought I'd just push out a version 0.2 out to everyone for a review. Can't believe it's been 1 year since I started. Talk about stalled projects >_> Being my first official release though, other ones should take less time =)

Please post your comments on what doesn't work (maybe what does work as well =) )

Thanks,
Vince

Took a quick look, don't see any major issues, nice job :) Some minor issues:

- You spelled dependencies as dependancies in a few panels
- Ekblad's name is mispelled in the first page's credits
- I'm still missing from the translator's list :( Please add me (as "Jason moofang", or "Lim Yuen Hoe") as I did most of the translating for this chapter.

Looks good to me apart from the issues Jason mentioned. Considering the division of work on this chapter, wouldn't it make more sense to put him as the sole translator and everyone else listed under translation as "translation check"? That's how we usually do it in LWB (and, I dare say, nearly every other translation group).

Version 1.0 here: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B--r92YeA5ApOTlKek5tRkJoYjA/edit?usp=sharing
Hope it makes its way onto the website =) Any problems, please tell me so I can make a revision (v1.1)
I've also posted it to my blog.

Next time I think instead of dragging out the project and working on it whenever I felt like, I'd do it scheduled within a short period of time haha, makes it easier to remember what I was doing. Summer/Christmas holidays soon for Australia =)

Regards,

Great! I have some free time this weekend, so I might start working on the next chapter then. (Unless somebody already did; I haven't checked.)
