I have the original Japanese volumes of SDB 1 2 and 3 and yet you don't see me translating those either

@Abs.
I am willing to edit some part of this book.. but this is my problem:
1. i dont have the scanner nor the skill to made a good raw image.
2. i can only speak xponese not english.

i would really love to edit this...

i dont care about work load or time consuming. .......

so any suggestions?

and i think we dont need to edit the story guide sections...... because it just a summary and guide for reading the manga....

If you're asking me, specifically, re: Japanese originals -> digital raws, I'd need to find/order additional copies of each book and either hand them off for people to scan, or finally find a decent scanner for myself and take the (duplicate) books apart to feed through the pages.

That's just on the digital raw side. And obviously I'm not going to do that if someone else could do it instead.

Translating the text is a different matter. It'd take about 2 months per book, assuming I had absolutely nothing else to do with my time (I assure you I have other things to do with my time). Also assuming I do not lose interest partway through (I assure you I would, and quite quickly).

After all that, editing is simple (for Jd- and the boys, anyway).

wait.... i am sorry if my earlier post made you confuse.

i am not asking you to do the translations.. but i am asking on suggestion to help me translate them into proper english. sorry once again.. i dont mean to offend you....

if about duplicates... there is plenty here in my place.. but i do hope it still same with the original layout.

and... we can skip the story guide right? it will less about a quarter of the book.

and is anyone can teach me step by step to made a scan pages look better ? like DCTP release....please

You can ask others for help on that. I don't do Japanese > (Bahasa-)Indonesia(n) > xponese > English translation editing.

@xpon: So what you need is something like a proofreader? If it's that I could try to help since I understand xponese most of the time

xpon · Post by **xpon** » March 10th, 2011, 2:54 am

@Breva
kinda..
but if at some part i cant find the english words based from the indonesian.. i dont know how i can pass that hurdle.

@Abs.
i know...sorry once again if any of my post offend you.

but if at some point i need help for something.. like a words or just a paragraph .. will you help me?

Abs. · Post by **Abs.** » March 10th, 2011, 3:02 am

xpon. Nothing against you personally but I already have to re-translate even when I proofread Japanese to English translations. Asking me to proofread your translations means exactly the same thing as asking me to translate it myself.

xpon · Post by **xpon** » March 10th, 2011, 3:07 am

that true.......

okay then..... i hope the American release the SDB...........

@Breva.
sorry to get your hope high.... looking at Abs post knock some sense to my brain. i must accept the fact that i will not able to finish this project without relying on other people. and that is too rude.

i cant made other to suffer because my selfish wish...

so sorry once again........
