Fansubbing

No, breathe easy. I'm not going into fansubbing.
I don't think I could put up with that kind of workload and stress.


I've been thinking a lot about translators and whatnot.


Basically, whine and complain about everything you want.
Bad TL, Typesetting, Editing, etc etc.

Just a short excerpt:

"5. People don’t actually give a shit about the quality of subs. Following from that, people don’t seem to give a shit about what the characters are saying on screen. Otherwise, there’s no way in hell Coalgirls and qIIq could get away with their subs. This isn’t even about translation “accuracy,” it’s about using half-decent English."

*Clap Clap Clap Clap*
Right on the mark, in fact, this entire post is.


And I'm also pulling up really old posts.


I'll admit, I myself have really bad English. My marks in English are usually several letters lower then everything else.


And, no, posting a picture of a book on grammar in front of a computer doesn't make you an English major.
Nor does it tell anyone anything about the quality/consistency of your work.
No names here...


I have a high opinion of Hadena, not because of their work, but because I see that they are actively trying to improve themselves, and I respect that.
