There are some ways to save things - but well, it’s not always successful.
There are different versions of some shows too. It can matter where the tape they used as a fan channel came from - what country can mean a different version entirely.
I am aware of the software where a person can try to save subs - but there’s sometimes more involved. Depends too on the quality of the first group - some fan channels are putting out great work - some are putting out a bit less organized work. Two I took over were pretty random - and required a lot of fixing to put out some existing eps. I am still fixing things from 2-3 years ago at Demi-Gods - and I took that over less than a month ago.
I am not on that particular team, but I do believe they tried to save things. That’s the way I read things on the front cover there at any rate. At least we still have the drama - because we are losing 46% of Chinese Dramas right now. We have already lost Lan Ling Wang…
hello ! what is “TE”? But Goodfight is a kor-eng subber and he’s looking for projects And for the drama, I already send a PM to the different mod, and I’m waiting for their answers. https://discussions.viki.com/t/looking-for-a-project/1932
TE is translation editors.
They are editors who are fluent in the video’s original language and English. Specifically checking whether the translations are correct.
PRESERVING THE MEANING OF THE SENTENCE
Translation editors should try to preserve the meaning of the sentence as accurate as possible.
PRESERVE THE TONE OF VOICE
If sarcasm was used, please edit the translation to preserve this.
INCLUDE NOTES OR EXPLANATIONS WHERE NEEDED
Translation editors should check translations of idioms and slangs closely and where necessary provide notes or explanations using the format found in the general guidelines found there http://nssacademy.weebly.com/subtitling-guide.html
If you notice, goodfight hasn’t been active for two years. That message was from 2014. She probably was discouraged by the loss of her account. https://www.viki.com/users/Goodfight/overview
(it is a closely guarded secret, but I can edit English too. however, I also type like a banshee SO transcription of English really isn’t hard for me…does “I really, really like you” need that sort of help? I also segment but am trying to limit that to the three dramas I have as CM right now… keep that editing between us, okay? looks around, quietly melts into the shadows…)
GeNie of the Lamp POOF!
p.s. By the way, since I’m in Denver, Colorado, all compliments delivered by me could be considered “high” ones due to altitude.
You should consider writing for a profession (if it’s not your profession already). Reading you always makes me smile, and at times roll on the floor with laughter.
,and because I’ve completely lost my mind around vikiworld, yeah I just finished what there was to transcribe at Next. 6-14 complete - needs Korean translations on some lyrics and things the hard subs failed to catch - in other words, it’s done to what I can do for it. So mark Next complete in that regard, it now needs Korean subtitle help OR a good TE there and that should do it.
I’ve sent a note off to Bettina to let her know. If you’ll change item 42 here, that will help too.
Next turned out to be next on my list after all… and now for Duo. Just because you love us over there :). and tomorrow to put another episode of Demigods to final edit…Ammmmiiiittttaaabbbhaaaaaa…! (one day, i segment Zhou Botong at Condor, the little guy who speaks 100 mph non-stop. 2 second segments! the next? looongg winded Shaolin monks over at Demigods…sigh. 6-8 seconds for a sentence…is it any wonder my hair hurts?)
Writing is not my profession (yet). Although I do have some great ideas…and well, I should write a drama. (grin). I do massage therapy to pay the bills, coach powerlifting from afar - and I write whatever finds its way from my brain to my fingers…
Who can truly say what the future brings. What we are truly passionate about can bring us to new adventure, new ways of thinking. New roads, mountains to conquer.
Ok now I’m hearing “Climb Every Mountain”. Sound of Music. that cold med I’m on is VERYYYY good apparently…
Crouching Dieter, Hidden Donut
You’d be amazed what I would write for Krispy Kreme Donuts…!?
I would like to help as much as a can, but i’m in the Eng-Esp line, and i have some experience has a segmenter but i’m not graduated from any segger academy, if any of you think i could be able to help you please contact me.
Hello,
Is the above list an updated list? I don’t have any ongoing projects so I may be interesting in helping transcribe. What kind of pre-requisites does a transcriber need to have? I’ve done segmenting and English editing in the past so I understand how the subbing and segmenting tools work but just want to ensure I’m volunteering for something I can do. Is it exactly what it sounds like? As in, typing the hardsubbed words into the corresponding segments?
Hi lolathao,
If you are interested in H.I.T. or Woman of Matchless Beauty, Park Jung Kum, we are still looking for transcribers! Transcribing is exactly what you said. To transcribe, you only need to be able to write English. Having segmenting experience will actually help, too, because the hardsub timings tend to be off. The segmenters correct the timing in the Viki subs, so it’s easier to transcribe when you are able to understand which segment goes to which hardsub.
(grin) I’ll see you at Duo too.
