QUEXIONS' SHITTY TRANSLATIONS

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v470/Ryushikaze/Aeriff1D001.jpg

A beautiful woman who sells flowers in the sector 5 slums. She is the last survivor of the Ancient( Cetra) who possesses the talent to talk to the planet. She is always being chased by the Shinra who desire the Promised Land, a place they assume only the Ancients know how to find. She appears shy but the strength in her abilities on the undersurface surprises people around her. Even though her life has been complicated, she constantly has a positive attitude in any event without any pessimism. She encountered Cloud, and with the fate of the ancients unknown, accompanied him on his trip.

During their travels they learned that Sephiroth was going to use the ultimate destruction magic "Meteor" to try to damage the planet. To put a stop to his ambition, she went toward the capital alone to recite a prayer of the (or two the idk) ancients needed to move the white magic (holy). She offers her prayer to the planet and Sephiroth's blade pierces her; with a peaceful smile, her life ends.

(on the right)
The "voice" of the planet is not heard by ordinary people, but because she is an ancient, she is able to talk to the planet.

(on the left)
"Take care of yourself"** she informs Cloud in a dream, then vanishes from the team.

Any good? y/n?
(and uh.. Tres did help a couple times )

** the actual translation of this line is "Only I can take care of this business but Tres and I agreed the English line would be better."

 

[Gym Leader Devil]

Dude, Quex, is this your very first translation? If so, this is not just made of Awesome and Win.

This is Made of Awesomely Epic Win.

 

[Dashell]

also in B4, Hito, Ryu and Tres tell me:

About everything

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

What Dr. Cox said.

No, you did well. I'm proud of you. For a first outing, it's great.

 

[Vendel]

What Dr. Cox said.

No, you did well. I'm proud of you. For a first outing, it's great.

I know you tried. You really tried not to sound condescending. But it couldn't have come off worse if you said you would hang it on the fridge because it is so nice.

 

[Ghost X]

I wouldn't have a clue if it was good or bad translating, since I don't speak Japanese . G'luck if it is though.

 

[Tetsujin]

Did the word koibito pop up?
If so, yes, your translation will be wrong.
ALWAYS.

EDIT: Because I'm a dumbfuck. See this post.

::takes off fridge::

But, no, she genuinely did a great job for a first effort. Seriously. Like, it's legible (sounds like English) and the meaning is clear and stuff. So.

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

Awesome. I'm impressed and envious. I'm learning Japanese but I'm still at the stage where my sentences are spoken very slowly and consist of things like "Excuse I, where are the post office?"
Does this mean TLS has another translator in its stable now?
Congratulations, Quex.

 

[Makoeyes987]

Awesome job. Now you can twist and make up translations with the big boys!

 

[ForceStealer]

Quex showing her translation to Tres, hito, and Ryu:

 

[Ryushikaze]

You didn't translate the part about how she sells drugs to various ShinRa employees and how Scarlet was her biggest customer!

Seriously, though, not bad.

Impossible to translate, my ass...

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

Impossibly to translate, my ass...

For real. If Que can learn to turn those squiggles and sharp edges into that after just a single night of really looking into it, nobody has an excuse to ignore shit on the basis of "It's not been officially translated, and Japanese is so fucking hard to grasp."

 

[Makoeyes987]

....I wonder if Quexinos should feel insulted by that or not.

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

No, because she made the effort.

And anyone could do it if they were willing to make the effort. We're talking about language here, after all, not beating Kasparov at chess.

That doesn't take anything away from her, of course. Just the opposite -- it's to her credit that she wanted to expand her horizons and see what the deal really is.

She still did a better job than I did the first time I tried translating something, if she still needs a leg ego stroking, though.

 

[Celes Chere]

Good job (I think), Quexy! You're better at translating than driving, I see. Of course, none of you are right. For you must be true Japanese to learn or grasp this very 'difficult' language! All you have to do now is interview your fake friends from Japan, and you can be official! =D

I ate the soul of a true japanese person. Does that count?

 

[Gym Leader Devil]

No Ryu it does not. I consumed the souls of an entire Japanese village, including the folks at WacDonalds, and I still can't translate. At all. Japanese souls just taste good, they're not useful for this sorta thing

 

[Dashell]

Impossible to translate, my ass...

no Ryu, I already told you I'm not gonna translate your ass... oh. you meant something else.


Also to everyone in this topic:
SHUT UP! I don't care if you say nice things

but yeah I had fun doing it... now for page 2 if it all looks good

 

[Celes Chere]

Yeah! Do Tifa's profile next! =D Translate Zack's profile for me. *O*

 

[Vendel]

Do you translate...uh..adult material?

I'm asking for a friend.

 

[Gym Leader Devil]

Do you translate...uh..adult material?

I'm asking for a friend.

I am that friend

 

[Ryushikaze]

No Ryu it does not. I consumed the souls of an entire Japanese village, including the folks at WacDonalds, and I still can't translate. At all. Japanese souls just taste good, they're not useful for this sorta thing

Those weren't true Japanese souls.

no Ryu, I already told you I'm not gonna translate your ass... oh. you meant something else.

I've already translated my ass.

 

[Dashell]

... what uh.. did it say?...

wait never mind, I don't wanna know.

 

[Gym Leader Devil]

Those weren't true Japanese souls.

Blasphemy! Only the people at WacDonalds are true Japanese souls, didn't you know? No other Japanese soul can be trusted!

I've already translated my ass.

What language was your ass in anyway?
