IF I'M EVER A DICK ON THE INTERNET, TELL PAULSEPHIROTH'S MOM

RyuujinBlueZ posted:

I've been legitimately tempted to try and put together the money to bribe the normal translator/a talented group into just finishing off the whole damned thing in one go.

Not sure what it'd cost, but I'm pretty sure more than I'd be willing to pay.

I have to agree with this. I was wondering why this thread fell off the front page, assuming it was being translated as it was being published, and now that I've finished I feel a great void in my life.

Do keep in mind that most of the stuff about that was two high school girls just hanging out shooting the poo poo. That kind of context makes me think that a 101-level understanding is actually totally fine to base their conversations around.
:ironicat:

In other news I desperately need chapter 14. Why is it not translated yet?

Moogy's busy reading light novels and playing video games, and the team wants to wait until the last volume comes out anyway because the magazine scans they have are really bad.

Raws for the last volume have been floating around if you know where to look.

After flipping through it, I have two reactions.

1. That kiss is :3: as hell, I'm looking forward to seeing the ending translated.
2. When I said that Gaku should become a magical girl, I was only joking. And then this happens. :stare:

I'm deeply glad I did, because now I absolutely cannot wait even harder than before to read the chapter just in the (probably vain) hope that doing so will cause my world to make sense again.

Hello, yes! Is being very good day for posting, no?
Pretty sure Gaku has more in common with a Lovecraftian horror than anything else at this point. She exists outside of space and time as we understand it, and nobody can perceive anything more than a single facet of the Gaku collective. The only thing keeping the comparison from being complete is how limited her power within any particular universe is. The rabbit hole just doesn't stop getting deeper.

A relevant blog post from the guys who were translating it. Amounts to "the translators for Qualia aren't translating poo poo right now, and its writing is really tough to translate so we can't just get anyone to do it". Essentially its stalled and they don't know when if ever they'll get it done.

I guess adding "understands quantum physics" on top of "understands Japanese" and "will translate it for free in their spare time" turns an already difficult task into a nightmare.

Not just that, but understands those kinds of concepts in two languages. That's a huge hurdle right there. Qualia requires a higher level of vocabulary, basically.

This is where I remind people that the Qualia translator took two years to release his translation of Dra+Koi which has a script of less than 15 kilobytes.

Welp, time to put on my rear end-kickin' boots and go do some motivational speaking.

Honestly, I keep hoping that someone at one of the publishing companies will get bored or suddenly find a surplus in their budget and decide to pick Qualia up. Even if it took another two years to get out, that'd probably be faster.

Maybe is a good thing than it haven't been translated since I honestly doubt than my weak mind would resist knowing the truth. Lots of fluffly and heartwarming moments between the girls :allears:

The translator isn't translating them and no one else is willing to step up to the plate.

I'm going to pop these up a page at a time as I finish them. A word of warning that updates will probably be sporadic, poorly formatted and may contain errors. I invite anyone else to take a look at the RAWS and feel free to step in with corrections.

I've only got the first page so far but I hope everyone is ready for things to get nuts.

Maybe you could get in touch with the translating group, as far I remember it was their translator that dropped out. If you can provide the translations they might be able to work on the raw cleaning and editing.

I'm doing my best but I don't really think I'm going to be able to keep up with the speed or quality most translating groups would want. Maybe when I've got a chapter done someone can make it all pretty.

Anyway here's page 2.

I don't think you have to worry about speed, since this isn't one of those big shounen series that every scanlation group races to put out every goddamn week. As for quality, The group would probably be happy to collaborate and take off some of the workload from you. At least it wouldn't hurt to ask.

Anyway, thanks a lot for picking this up! It is very much appreciated.
