Now that I have a good place to post it, I can ask here.

Basically what I have problems with is putting the furigana is a decent translation, because Kamachi does whatever he wants apparently.
This is how I translated the last speech bubble at first before I looked at the next page.

>Oriana looked for a point (written as Astronomical Observatory like the title. Looks like it's meant to be read as that though and written as point) to activate Peter's Cross

But when I saw Touma's reaction and the following text I'm not sure how I should write it anymore.
Should I rather use "Astronomical Observatory" or "Astronomical Observation" with point as footnote or the other way around. I think point as would be better in this case.

>>160367635
Then I can also use "written as point" in this second speech bubble here

Although that makes it a bit weird to translate and read

>>160367566
>tfw no 1600px WSM and 1400px WSJ

>>160368540
I don't care about magazines, I'm going to miss those tank scans

Public raws for shounen magazines will continue to get posted instantly anyway

Are we still getting digital rip scan after what happened last week?

>>160369513
New raws keep on being posted but I have no idea which site is one where the uploaders hang out

So what ripper works for Pixiv comic? ABe's illlustrating a manga on there and I want to save it for offline reading.

It's not that it's particularly difficult to understand or translate, but I have no idea what boxing terminology I should be using, or the correct way to say it in English.

Anyways Koyama Yuu is a beast.

Guy in the last thread a few days ago said he'd be interested in cleaning/typesetting this Matsumoto Leiji title for me. It's pretty cute desu.

>>160372298
?? From what i see, nothin has changed. They made another website.

>>160373339
It's always a Dempsey roll, straight, hook, or CROSS COUNTAH

Canon LiDE 220 or Epson Perfection V39? Or something else in the <$100 USD range?

>>160374043
I have the Canon LiDE 220 and it's alright for CCD scanner. A lot of raw providers use it.

>>160375433
Do you debind everything? I read the type of sensor it has will blur anything not in contact with the glass.

>>160375502
Yes I debind everything. You will need to do this regardless of what scanner you have. CIS scanners are better than CCD scanners but they are also much more expensive.
I own a CCD book scanner that works by having the platter go all the way to the side. In theory this means that books do not have be debound to be scanned. It's fine for western published books because the gutter in those books is wider. However it does not work for B5 doujin.
Give me a minute and I'll upload a comparison bewteen CCD and CIS sensors.

Waiting for my typesetters to do things.

>>160373339
What terminology are you unsure about?

>>160375747
Also I have the sensor names the wrong way round.
CCD - Charged Coupled Device
This works by using mirrors, rather like an SLR, to convey the image to a static sensor. They are larger, more expensive and usually slower to scan.
There is depth of field, this means that something doesn't need to be flat against the platter to get good quality scans.
CIS - Contact Image Sensor
This works by having the a row of sensors directly below the image. There is no depth of field, this means that anything not flat against the platter will blur.

>>160376100

Not condoning laziness, but I personally don't mind when groups ask for your PSDs. Scanlation should be a community of sharing, so you'd be saving another group time if you already have the work done.

>>160376100
>giving a fuck
What a dumbass. I scanlate so that EOPs can read shit, if I can help peasants from another language then that's great. I don't understand why you'd be mad over this unless you were some sort of autist.

>>160371146
>Goodbye hobby translations, hello money.

Hello losing passion and working on shit you don't like.

>>160376062
Small things like twist, roll, pivot, turn, etc. I'm sure they're basically the same, and I can give a pretty literal translation, but lacking any knowledge in boxing, I'm just worried it'll be obvious to those who actually do know a thing or two.

>>160376131
Any thoughts on the Perfection V39?

Every time. Every fucking time there are that guy who HAVE to post the raw before it fucking release. Couldn't you at least wait until it release not leak it too early?

>>160376774
Maybe, but, if the translation is actually good, nobody will mind, and you can gradually learn about boxing words as you go.

>>160376774
I box, ask away.

>>160376858
What the fuck? Are you a Jap?

>>160376793
I have no experience with it, so I can't offer an honest opinion.

>>160376942
Not really,but because of this incident,even the chink have to delay the release of raw magazine.

>>160376774
Any specific examples? Boxing terminology is very simple and is mostly the same in Japanese as they opt to use English terms. However, there are a few differences.

>>160377020
I might get one. I'll try to remember to post something about it if I do.

>>160377117
Nobody here cares about China.

>>160376858

That's what happens when you give scans early to speedscan faggots. Surprise, they release it early because they're speedscans and they have to beat out the competition for ad money.

"Strike with your elbow twisting for a fork!! As your fist follows a curve, raise your elbow and snap your wrist, punching as if you're hooking him!!
In this moment, your back and shoulders should be revolving with you, so use your other hand to protect your body and your chin!!"

Does that make sense?

>>160377228
>"Strike with your elbow twisting for a fork!
Change that to strike with your elbow on a 90 degree angle, the person talking is describing the motion for a hook I presume. the rest sounds fine.

>>160367453
Nothing. Feels good.

where is the CITY

i am rapidly becoming unglued from reality

where is the CITY
I want to know

Currently scanlating some shitty old doujins that just happen to hit my fetishes.
Mainly doing them just to gain a bit of experience and learn shit. I suck and I know it so I'm messing around in the shallow end of the pool, so to speak.
Going numb from having to typeset bland moaning over and over again.

For anyone here who has ever scanlated doujinshi, have you ever translated text-only doujin or doujin that contain text stories? Just curious if I'm the only one contemplating doing such a thing.

>>160373425
I'm still here anon!

>>160378997
>>160380888
Uhhh, I just have to edit chapter 4 and reboot translation efforts.

Translating porn is mindnumbingly boring

I need a new and cool mouse, so nothing

>>160384304
>reboot translation efforts
What, are you guys missing a TL again? Or is it something else?

>>160386052
Uhh, I have several projects on my plate right now and I backseated it due to typesetter going out of town. So I need to finish everything first before I go back.

>>160376131
So you mean that CCD is better than CIS?

Do you guys have recs or are already full?

>>160387323
*take recs
I'm sorry.

>>160387056
It depends on what you want to use it for I think.

>>160387323
>>160387355
I mean, it's not like it hurts to request that something get worked on, but the reality is that most people already have a backlog they'd like to work on, and they already scanlate as much as they can/want to.
If you're really hung up on seeing something translated, my suggestion would be to ask specific groups that work in the same genres and/or be willing to participate in the work.

>>160387515
Through rss or comments? Because where I'm coming from with intentions for TL is slightly different from groups that would typically TL this.
> Shounen but female audience, Historical, mystery.

>>160387501
Well, scanning manga would be the main purpose.

>>160387567
>Through rss
What?

>Because where I'm coming from with intentions for TL is slightly different from groups that would typically TL this.
What?

>>160387630
> rss
A way to communicate with scanlation groups.
> Intentions
Meaning, the only groups I typically know of deal with other demographics or genres that are different from the one I listed for a particular series that I want TLed.

>>160387323
Depends what the request is. If it fits with a TL's taste, then maybe they'll take it up.

>>160387600
From what I've learned then, a CIS could be a cheaper buy, but you'll probably have to debind. Otherwise the parts near the spine might not be in contact with the glass and be blurry.
A CCD has some depth of field to it so you could possibly get away with bending the spine and pressing it down on the glass.
Although most comments I see say you should always debind anyway.
The two I mentioned earlier are both CIS and around $80 USD new.

>>160387692
Oh, you mean IRC?

>>160387748
Oh sorry, yeah.

>>160387567
You're that Kusuriyafag? You should commission someone to translate it if you want it done that badly.

>>160387739
Debinding isn't the issue, I'll definitely do that.
I meant more about pure scanning quality.
If I get more details and better results using CCD I'd opt to get that instead if I can find something not too expensive.
Thanks for the info.

>>160387784
No? But you mentioned the series at least. So commission?

>>160387828
At the resolution you'll be scanning at, there are more significant things to worry about, like how wide the unscanned edge will be or whether there are any "quality enhancements" you won't be able to turn off.

>>160371146
I thought doing that was painting a big target on your head for copyright violation suits.

>>160387323
>>160387567
Why don't you just make a pitch for it here and someone might respond if they're free.

>>160387828
More details sounds good at face value but I think all you end up doing is capturing the texture of the paper itself. Then it gets removed as part of the cleaning process doesn't it?
Maybe I'm wrong but I'm under the impression 300 dpi for grayscale and 600 dpi for color is sufficient for scanlation.
