Topic: Any French speakers willing to do some translation asap?

Bonjour.

Basically the question is in the thread title - the long version goes like this:

I'm putting together the final Pink Five DVD's for our Kickstarter backers and have English and Spanish subtitles already built, but would like to have French subtitles available as well.

I could run our English text through Google translate, but of course the results would be more hilarious than useful.

However, if we're going to do this it needs to happen quickly, within the next week to ten days. It's not a big deal if we don't have French subtitles, but it seems like a nice thing to do. Apparently it's a popular language.

I have the text for all the videos formatted into text files, ready to have each line translated to French (dialog only, nothing extra like *guns firing* or *distant scream*). If you send me the files back in the same plain text format, they'll drop right into the subtitle timeline.

Anyway, any of y'all French speakers willing to help with this, I can offer you an early peek at Volume Three in the short term, and a freebie DVD copy of your own later, once they exist.

Thanks, and ciao ciao.

When I make DVDs I'm going to strongly consider making both human translated and Google translated subtitle tracks available, for the lulz.

Would be happy to have Japanese subtitles too, if you wanted to do them. smile

And actually, I am considering some kind of ridiculous subtitle track as well.

I'll do it, on one condition: I get a custom member title that basically says Trey is my bitch.

No? Oh well. I'll stick with the DVD then.

I'd be happy to help. Shoot me the files and I'll get them back to you as soon as possible (before the end of next week at the latest). smile

Re: Any French speakers willing to do some translation asap?

I think you should have a subtitle track built up entirely out of the various mistranslations from Backstroke of the West, so "Jedi Council" = "The Presbyterian Church", etc.

Can't help with French, but under the assumption that your Spanish subtitle track is Latin American/New World Spanish, my wife and I could do a Castillian one.

For the next hour, everything in this post is strictly based on the available facts.

I'm game, although my Star Wars loving buddy is backpacking in India at the moment, just when his excessive knowledge of trivia would be most appreciated.

How many pages of dialog are we talking about? I imagine a lot of the jargon is gonna kick my ass, but I'm nonetheless oddly keen to try.

The Asylum doesn't bother with even ENGLISH subtitles, so BRAVO, TREY A STOKES.

Warning: I'm probably rewriting this post as you read it.
