Sooooo....I did a little thingie because, *cough* last weekend I was in London to see a certain play 👀

What can I say, the play itself was astonishing, probably the most engaging performance I have ever attended, David is even more gorgeous live and watching him perform on stage was mesmerizing ❤️

OMG HOW AMAZING THIS IS

Guess who just spent a month making Japanese subtitles for the entire DT Richard II play, because I am simply that determined to force two specific friends to watch it and fangirl with me and talk to me about my fic XD

I started out using the classic professional Japanese translation of the original play (by Fukuda Tsuneari), which is written in period-accurate Japanese. When I showed one of my friends the subs she said "period Japanese is too hard!"

(This is a page of Henry's speech to Northumberland and York just before capturing Richard at Flint Castle... Yeah, holy wall of text!)

So now I've cobbled together a modern Japanese version using a mixture of adapted lines from the original translation, bits from The Hollow Crown (which is the only Japanese-subtitled version of Richard II one can buy, though that version leaves out half the lines and is much more forgiving on the subtitler cos they all speak so bloody slowly and with...I'm gonna say minimal energy😂), and a soupcon of super-abbreviations of dialogue that is waaaay too long in Japanese to fit on the screen.

Some of the jokes of course don't land in translation, which is too bad cos this particular production really leans into the gag potential of the play; e.g. puns like rain/reign😁

(Classic usurper humour XD)

Next step is to show it to my most patient friend and have her check it for errors and places where over-long lines can be made more succinct in a natural way. I won't lie, this project is fun as feck!

(The subs look giant cos my friend has poor eyesight🤣)

Try to imagine the perspectives. Squint your eyes, it will work, trust me.
