What do you hate the most about a bad scanlation?
>TL note: -unfunny joke- ;^)
>>122341243
Is this for real? I don't even read the mangastream translation.
>>122341475
Yeah, MangaStream likes adding swearing everywhere.
>>122341475
Niggastream likes adding random swearing, even when it doesn't make any sense or doesn't fit the character at all. But that's actually the least of their problems.
>>122341587
>But that's actually the least of their problems.
Is it? They have worse problems?
>>122341475
They like making people speak like they're gangstas in the ghetto. Why else do you think they get called niggerstream.
I hate that 50% gray tone so much.
Lack of decent typesetting. Like that shit is not hard. Out of everything needed in scanlation typesetting is the easiest to make decent.
>>122341648
Yeah, I don't want to swing from their sac or anything, but sometimes I have to king like a kong and talk about their ridiculous idioms.
obnoxious editor/translator notes that aren't actually notes, just the idiots commenting because they think they're funny

Not really, at this point different scanlations have different standards for typesetting alone.

>>122341587
If it was just the swearing I could bear it, but the translator adds in idioms and colloquialisms every fucking chance he gets like he has something to prove
the entire thing is as idiom dense as that diamond dozen pasta
>>122342049

Scanlation community, ladies and gentlemen.
Some literally decide to be dipshits on purpose.
For example:This post comes from a Bieber fan, Korea is the best, I use reddit/tumblr more, my home boards are /v/, /pol/, /s4s/, /a/ is full of fedoratippers, and I joined this site after some admin I forgot the named of left.

RedHawk and Niggastream are both detail killing trash with absolutely terrible cleaners that are the manga scanning equivalent of movie grain removal.
>>122342319
I can overlook the occasional yen to norwegian krone conversion or the stale norway jokes, but sometimes they go too far.
>>122342437
My greys
>>122341648
Their translations are rarely accurate even when they aren't swearing.
>>122342437
Ther isn't to much of a difference between the volume scans that we get and the cleaning niggastream and Redhawk do, I'm actually satisfied with the cleaning/redrawing, the typesetting is also okayish, but the translation triggers me like one or two times a chapter.
>>122341243
What I hate the most is liberal translations. With anime I can hear the japanese audio and can tell what is actually being said a lot of the time. But with manga I have to blindly trust what they write down.
I don't even really care about excessive TL notes because I can just ignore them
>>122342480

>>122341243
>What do you hate the most about a bad scanlation?
speech bubbles that were cleaned with an obviously different color than the background.
>>122342802
For weekly scans, you really don't have any options other than overlevelling the blacks a bit or spending half an hour burning a page.
>>122342786
as weeby as it tends to sound, I'm the same way. It's a niche interest with niche audience, and a niche facet of that on top of it all. It's not something that needs to be localized, you can be rigid and overly literal with your translations and assume you audience has or can pick up on enough japanese to make sense of things. that's the whole god damned basis of translating for a bunch of fucking nerds, that they have an invested interest in it and its authenticity.
How is it possible to remove such big jpg artifacts and retaining the details? I don't plan to surface blur/smart blur + masking it's taking too much time and I have to do this through 200 pages.
>>122342866
That's the whole fucking problem. The shit they do takes MORE time and effort than just balancing levels on a raw scan, AND it produces less attractive results.
>>122343007
It takes a lot less time than waiting six months for the chapter to be released in a volume.
>>122342958
>that's the whole god damned basis of translating for a bunch of fucking nerds, that they have an invested interest in it and its authenticity.
Just in the sense of /a/ or 4chan or the actual big picture of the western audience?
>>122343007
It used to be like that, but scanlators compete to get the better filtered chapter now, I don't know, blame japflap or m7.
>>122342992
your raw scans should be bigger than your actual final cut page, you know that right?
>>122341587
Don't forget the gender shit with the fairy advisor.
At least RH went by appearance to call Gerharde Lady.No clue why NS went with "Sir".
>>122343100
No shit.
The raws I'm working with are 2000px height, already leveled but saved with jpeg at a shit quality.
Any decent scanlatons for prison school? I'm readig lazy ass and its shit.
>>122343067
are you retarded? that's not the point. neither shitty "cleaned" scans nor basic leveling are going to come out comparable to a tankoban scan, the point is that one takes addition effort for no additional quality while the other is both sufficient and lends acceptable context for poor quality.
>>122343288
and what happens to the artifacts when you've leveled, cleaned, reduced down to web size, and saved as a hq .jpg or .png file?
>>122343342
And if volumes are non-existant, then nothing you're saying remotely matters.
Also, learn what capital letters are before you start projecting your own mental capabilities onto others.
replacing sfx and other kanji thats part of the art (like move names and stuff that take up half the page) with regular text.
>>122343392
I'm asking a way to remove efficiently the artifacts from the raw without killing details not how to prevent artifacts when saving.

And you can still translate in the margins for sfx if you're really worried. As for kanji, obviously you'd put the translation beside the character(s) or in the margin.
>>122343592
>>122343592
even worse is when they leave the bubble blank or *no translation*.
at least in that you can read it a bit if you know some basic japanese.
>>122343593
Nope, too many little/weak details are smoothed out with the surface blur.
>>122343431
Is that supposed to be surprising that T-O-R-I-K-O says stuff like that ? Come on.
>>122343705
So use less of it.
>>122343645
Localisations allow you to alter the sfx "art" if you want, I don't know why some subgroups can't do that too.
It's another thing if they fuck it up.
>>122343520
Sorry, I was thinking you were just concerned about not letting the artifacts make it into the final "print" copy. It would depend on the case by case specifics but if the details are too small and/or fine to really clean around and inside of, then you may just have to try and use a bandaid or stamp tool, or even just stitch together your own tiled digital toner sheet and relay things in that way. If there's just really fine line art you may have to risk redrawing it, which is a whole other can of worms.

Because mimicking sfx into the native language takes a lot more work. Also, I'm not >>122343494 but I also hate official translations that replace Japanese sound effects. Sometimes it actually looks pretty nice, but replacing them just seems straight up ruinous. Japanese sound effects are often a part of the art. I think I recall Araki raging about this when Jojo was first translated.
Is translating in exchange for scans a good idea? Like, I translate something and someone scans something I want to read for me?

No watermarks. Creditspage only if it's inevitable. If it is evitable, typeset the credits on to the page with the chapter cover or the last page as small as possible. No TL/N's. If anything actually needs that then make an extra page just with your TL/N's. Tl/N's != (un)funny Joke.
>>122344980stay away for your own good

>>122345306

>>122345132
I've worked on a visual novel before and went with the compromise of using honorifics when the character's name is being said out loud by someone (to match the voices), and dropping honorifics for internal monologues (unless they're different than usual) because it's unnecessary.
Hate it when the story uses them for plot like 3/4s of the way through and you have to retroactively fix earlier stuff.
>>122345118
>If anything actually needs that then make an extra page just with your TL/N's
I actually disagree with you there, unlike printed media it's much harder to read if you have to jump to the last page and back just for a translation note.
If it's something small i'd much rather have it as a footnote.
>>122345306
If you already know the latin alphabet (which you do, since you know english), you can learn them very quickly. it's easy

>It doesn't cover the part about knowing what they mean
Is it really that difficult? If you've watched anime for a year you'll figure out what DOKI DOKI, PUNI PUNI, GOGOGOGOGO, HYUUUUU, and so on mean. Even my anime-watching friends who don't know a lick of nip know that much.
>>122345465
If you only plan to read 10 manga, maybe.
>>122345121
I just want some practice translating and to learn what people wantso that I can ignore most of it in favor of what I want to do because trying to please the masses is a short walk off a long pier into Lake Failure.
Also a large part of me hurts seeing an enjoyable manga or show be butchered by a bad translation, and I know I'm not the only one who feels that way.
>>122345265
Easy access to informationand probably head trauma over the years along with other neural fuckerykinda ruined my memory
>>122345229
I personally drop honorifics no matter what if the series doesn't take place in Japan. If it does, I'll still take them out if I can, but if there's shit like calling someone "senpai" instead of their actual name in there then I won't even try because that's just not translatable, and then I leave them all in for consistency.

>>122345492
What sort of rebuttal is that, even? As long as you can read what's on the page you should be able to figure out what it means even without anime knowledge. I would hope that most people aren't mentally retarded and can't understand why it says "garagaragara" when a sliding door opens or something.
>>122345395
Shouldn't that have been the other way around? Only using honorifics when nobody's speaking?
Anyway honorifics are a big part of basically all Asian cultures so I never understood the issue with keeping them in.
>>122345611
That's a bit inconsistent, translation wise.

>>122345675
>Shouldn't that have been the other way around?
I have a thing about trying to match what's being said out loud with what's being read; it's one of the reasons everyone complains so much about them infamous nipponese hambahgahs and mansions and bitches.
Only makes sense because it's a visual novel and therefore is voiced, but when you hear the -san/-chan and you read it it works a lot better than not.
I guess the objection with keeping them in is that it sounds too "weeby," and the underlying objection there is that, if the character is going to be speaking (translated) English, you want the character to sound like they're saying something a native English speaker would actually say.
People who translate when they suck at both languages and ignore suggestions to pick up someone to proofread it. Then that makes it 90% more likely that it will never properly be done because most people ignore stuff that has already been completed except for rare circumstances.
>>122345888
While I can understand that argument, I feel it's flawed since the characters are often NOT English, and thus removing the untranslatable honorifics is like just ignoring the characters' culture.
>>122344680
Having to do shit like this is pretty annoying.
I remember there being worse but this is the first that came to mind.
>>122345993
>While I can understand that argument, I feel it's flawed since the characters are often NOT English, and thus removing the untranslatable honorifics is like just ignoring the characters' culture.
>>122345993
Honorifics are no different than any other part of the language. They should be translated as any other text would be translated. They hold no inherently special context that makes them important, and it's only this weird anime culture that actually cares about them. I have nothing against fan translators that keep them in because it's their deal, but someone trying to keep to a professional standard has no reason not to translate them like anything else.
>>122345887

>>122345993
Reaction face isn't me, btw.
While that's entirely true, because you're reading what they're saying in English you have a tendency to think of them as being English speakers, which is why throwing in untranslated DESUs and BAKAs and all that jazz makes it sound really cringeworthy, like someone pretending to be japanese. Aka a weeaboo.
I dunno, it's a weird personal preference that has to do with how I know people tend to read things out loud in their heads. I know that doesn't make much sense but hey.

>>122346059
You may as well translate yen to dollars and pretend ramen is burgers if you want to just ignore parts of a society.
>>122346116
I believe that way of thinking is really too simplistic. If they weren't important at all, they wouldn't be used at all. Even English has honorifics, although there are far less of them (could it be that has something to do with how we are? Nawwww). The way language is supposed to work is that it all blends together, so you really shouldn't try ignoring parts of it or enforcing rules on it. It's that kind of thinking that led to some really awful translations in the past (for example, Japan being called Japan instead of Nihon- this applies to MANY countries) even though you could honestly just keep using stuff like honorifics and eventually their meanings would come to beunderstood.
>>122346221
Well, I can't argue with your preference. I also have weird preferences when it comes t, say, writing which completely perplexes people that know "proper grammar" (proper grammar is in itself a total joke).
>>122346306
Yeah, but Hox doesn't put random commentary on the actual pages like that.
>>122346116
"Anime" and "manga" also have translations, yet practically no one familiar with it uses them
>>122346417
Anime is actually one of Japan's borrowed words (from animation, that's why it's written with katakana), which I always found funny. Through I think the late 80s and into the 90s though I believe marketers needed a way to differentiate what was obviously a completely different category of cartoon. At first, they used Japanimation, which is an unwieldy and shitty word, but eventually they just used the "Japanese word" for it because it's quick and clear. Probably a similar story for manga
Well, this is how language is supposed to work. We borrow words and eventually understand them.
>>122346326
>You may as well translate yen to dollars and pretend ramen is burgers if you want to just ignore parts of a society.
I really laughed with your opinion though, but I guess you didn't really meant it, since dropping honorifics equals to ignoring their (Japanese) culture is exaggerating to me.
>>122346417
I thought both of them were accepted in English dictionaries?
>>122346326
It's not ignoring their culture; it's no different than the various form of personal pronouns they use, but it's only in the absolute worst scans that you see anyone trying to work boku and watashi into the translation intact. There are probably hundreds of such nuances in all languages, and it's up to the translator to make sure the meaning remains intact while remaining understandable to the reader. If the translation is bad because of it, they just aren't skilled enough. It's the same thing with leaving full-on Japanese jokes and just explaining how they're supposed to be funny in Japanese, completely ruining the point of the joke. Or when translators just say "they're speaking in a different dialect, just pretend you understand" instead of actually trying to convey it properly.
>>122346521
It's without a doubt ignoring a part of it. Asians are autistic about politeness levels.
>>122346521
>accepted in English dictionaries
this is meaningless anyway, dictionaries are not authorities on language- just reports on them
>>122346562
>It's without a doubt ignoring a part of it.
It sounds better now, I guess.
>Asians are autistic about politeness levels.
Isn't this just a stereotype, though? Or is every single one of them "autistic" about being polite?
>>122341243
>Complaining about free stuff
So, the scans for volume 13 of Yuru Yuri are distractingly bad. Does anyone have anyway / filter / something at all to make it more on the readable side?
>>122346682
Calling them autistic, now that is an exaggeration. It's pretty much more like they all are so used to their orders and rules that breaking them really bothers them. This is probably why "blond hair" is forbidden in many schools. That kind of thing. Real life Japan is different from anime where everyone's really casual. One of my Japanese teachers actually stressed honorifics and formalities (such as bowing) pretty hard.

>a bunch more i can't remember off the top of my head
Then there's those groups liks2scans or easy going that take on like 200 projects, regularly work on 10 and on the rest they cry about theft when another group starts scanlating.

For comparison this is what it looks like if it were ripped properly. Shame the guy who ripped it is retarded and a further shame that that I can only rip the sample which only covers most of chapter 89.
>>122346682
>Isn't this just a stereotype, though?
It is. I'm Asian and I can tell you that Asia is so fucking huge and diverse that we're no more polite or rude than the average westerners. And then there's the rural folks who just entered the city for the first time, oh boy, you wouldn't know rude till you've met them (and even that is generalizing).
>>122346229
Hox did it but some chapters were by some random group named Twilight Dreams Scans
>>122346875
>pick up 30+ new series
>release the first few chapters of all of them
>months later only 10 or so got releases past 5 chapters
>years later, only about 2-3 are released regularly
Fucking Japanzai.

I don't see anything wrong with that.

Let's not talk about Japanzai or S2watermarkscans, please.
>>122347088
/a/ used to like it, maybe in the same levels of OP's
>>122346875
>easy going
Even after holding on releasing a shit load of shit just to have one huge release list on christmas, no fucking Jin chapter released.
Fuck them.
>>122347128
Yes, the same people who like Naruto liked it.
>>122346875
>skipping volumes
This I can never understand. Why would you do that?
>>122347128
/a/ also like Akame ga Kiru.
/a/'s taste in manga is rubbish.
>>122346875
>>hey guys here's a funny meme why you should join us
>>randomly not translating some words like baka, tensai...
There used to be a Spanish fansub for GE Good Ending that inserted dank memes in some of the dialogue globes.
>>122346417
"Animation" and "comics", with "Japanese" in front if it's relevant?
>>122347241
I know some groups skip over ones that already are adapted into anime. Like Nichibros, for example. The guy only did the last 2 volumes since those are the only new content.
>>122347241
I guess it makes some sense for like Akagi or Kaiji that had a very faithful adaptation but it's still annoying
>>122347260

CUNT ASS NIGGA BITCH DON'T KNOW ABOUT MY GODDAMN EDGY SWEARING MOTHAFUCKA
>>122347087
No. Just want decent raws to read and thought someone in a scan thread might have some image tips.
I've tried image blur, topaz, stretching it to weird angles then stretching it back.
Using this as a sort of last ditch effort before giving up on volume 13 and just reading 14 when it comes out.
So wheres a good place to download or view manga online?
Does anyone of you know where I can find this without watermarks? http://www.dm5.com/m176456/

I recently edited a Neptunia h-doujinshi and added some desu to Compa's dialogue.
I'm guess I'm just that obsessed with her.
>>122344680
holy fuck this.
downloading eyesheild 21 only then to spend 2 whole fucking hours organizing, looking up volume chapter lists, and renumbering 50% of the fucking pages because they couldn't do this shit is so fucking awful.
Not to mention the scans were shit, one chapter was so fucking bad it was like looking at 5 pixels

When did we start this spicy new meme?
Are there T-shirts I can buy of this meme yet?
>>122347597
Without the online reader mark right?
Normally I'll search "[name of series in Chinese] pan.baidu"
Use mangaupdates/ wikipedia to find out the Chinese name of the series.

There is still like 150 untranslated chapters of SZS
>>122347597
Yeah.
Since it was easy finding it I don't want to tell you.
Using aliased text.
>>122348018
You should have posted this epic dank meme like 2 years ago.
>>122344719
What's wrong with .rar files?
I actually don't know. Whenever I need to compress something I use .zip anyway.
>>122348082
Are you trying to tell me that AfricanAmericaStream is an older meme (butit check out)?
How did I miss out on the spiciest meme of this generation?
>>122348035
>There is still like 150 untranslated chapters of SZS
I thought it was fully localised?
Isn't it scanned at kitty?
>>122347241
You're a shit group. Hyakko had 2 volumes skipped in the middle of the fucking story because "the anime covered that stuff already"
I shit you not.

It's known for a long time that incompetent translators compensate their lack of skills in both languages with swearing. It's especially true for chink students, so if you see a swearing then you can bet that translator didn't understood what was written in original or couldn't translate to English. You will win 9 out of 10.
>>122348232
Wow, this juicy meme has gained quite the traction!
I hereby decree that all mentions of "Manga"stream now be called Niggerstream! Here Hear!!
:D
>>122348274
What are you doing?
>>122348274
Ayyoo where da crackerstream at? LMAO.
Is there is a white translation website? I would like to only subscribe to pro-white japanese translation websites only. I hope there is one~
>>122341587
I've always found their Toriko to be reasonably straightforward.
The reason people read Mangastream/panda is because they get it out first. I'll put up with gangster shit (which is in some cases indicating a word that has no literally meaning other than to indicate aggression, though they do go overboard) rather than having an uncertain release schedule.
>tfw late to the scanlation thread
>>122342352
If they're on /pol/, aren't they the opposite of an SJW? Not that that's much better.
>>122348274
I don't like the meme either but I don't get what you're so bothered for. Just because you didn't notice it until now?
>>122348035
Didn't they once use porn as a watermark before getting backlash and removed it?
God, A-Team is the biggest group of assholes who translate manga.
Why do scanners "clean" pages, which ultimately makes them look different from how they appear on the WSJ page beyond the translation stuff?
>>122348575
Assuming it's necessary, well...it's necessary. Some scans, like Boku Girl's, are disgusting.
>>122341331
not strictly mango related but it fucking kills me when shieldbro has tl notes everywhere
stop this shit, put them at the end and don't bother if it isn't something that needs explaining
>>122348274
It's been around for years, ever since they started added in stuff like "Kinging it like kong," "Swinging from his sack" and "He's a bad man, Shiiit"
>>122348603
raws*, not scans
>>122348502
They shitpost, rage and doing other SJW shit there.
>>122348575
Because the typical WSJ magazine is printed on really shitty quality paper. If you don't clean it, it'll look absolutely terrible. Like yellowed newspaper type of terrible.
>>122348575
Would you honestly rather read something on your screen that looks like this?

Because it sure looks like the latter
>>122348677
No, about TL notes.
