Critical Role sub ITA

Ti piace Critical Role e sei italiano, o magari l’italiano è una delle tue lingue? Se non hai problemi con l’inglese potresti aiutare a tradurre i sottotitoli inglesi attraverso Cr Translate.

Dai un’occhiata alla loro pagina!

E se ti sembra un sistema complicato, non temere è molto più semplice di quanto credi. Fai ciao, leggi le istruzioni, traduci, e una di queste cose è optional!

Non aver paura di contattarli, sono tutti gentili. Li trovi su tumblr ma anche su twitter, e c’è Slack per facilitare le comunicazioni fra i team di tutte le lingue.

Al momento il team italiano ha pochi membri e non sono molti attivi, per cui ogni piccolo aiuto è un grande aiuto. Potresti tradurre qualche pezzettino o aiutare ad editare, o anche solo aiutando a compilare il glossario con i termini di D&D italiani.

Se conosci qualcuno a cui potrebbe interessare, passaparola!

CR Transcription Signal Boost

Y’all.

I just gave my first few hours to @criticalroletranscriptions, and I had such a great time!!

I signed into one slot just to try it out, did the middle of Liam’s quest in The Last of Us Warner Brothers Studios, and I accidently did two slots I was having such a great time!

Honestly, if you have any time, give a little to this awesome project! A 5 min slot takes an hour, and is flexible! Its really easy to get the hang of. And if you don't have an hour, you could edit a chunk or help people out with [Jenga] - where they could understand what was said (I had that with Taliesin’s car name, couldn't figure it out!).

And if you speak/are learning another language, head over to @crtranslate and give them a look! I’m going to attempt to put my French to good use but they really need proof-readers!

tl;dr @crtranslate and @criticalroletranscriptions​ are awesome - help them out if you can!

[crtranslate]

Will there be a planned translation of the Critical Role, Campaign 2 episode 13,14,... into Italian? Thanks :)

Episode 13 to 15 should have Italian subtitles by now, actually! :) Our speed has somewhat slowed this year due to... you know. We're currently working on Episode 16 in Italian.

Thanks for checking in and have a good new year!

[crtranslate]

Are you in need of Swedish translators? Do the translations get added to youtube or are they available some other way?

Hi there and thank you for your interest in joining!

Yes, we are in need of Swedish translators - that pretty much goes for all languages at all times. The more people we are, the faster we translate.

We send our reviewed subtitles to the team of G&S or CR, depending on the episode. They add the subtitles directly on YouTube. If you want to find out more about our process, join us on Discord and you'll be introduced in detail.

Have a good Saturday!

[crtranslate]

cuando habrán mas traducciones de la c2 a español ?

¡Hola!

De momento estamos trabajando en los capítulos 12-14, pero ya sabemos lo que pasa con 2020, y es que tenemos mucho ajetreo. Esperamos tenerlos listos lo antes posibles.

¡Gracias por tu apoyo!

[crtranslate]

Once we've read all the information etc are we just free to start translating, or should we let someone know on the discord server first

Hello,

thanks for your interest in joining us!

It is strictly speaking possible to translate solo after claiming your slot in the sheet, but we do prefer for our members to at least join the discord.

It's okay if you're not super active in the social chambers, but we have found that translating as a collective has a lot of advantages. Any difficult or disputed terms can be talked about in the chamber for your target language and you get all organisational updates as soon as we make them. It's usually easier both for the team and the translator.

Hope to see you around!

[crtranslate]

en el caso de querer ayudar a traducir que nivel de ingles ustedes solicitan tener para poder colaborar?

¡Gracias por tu interés en ayudarnos a traducir !

Normalmente esperamos que nuestros traductores sepan leer y entender bien el inglés para poder traducir fácilmente, pero también se pueden encontrar formas de ayudar con un nivel mínimo de inglés. Te invitamos a unirte a nuestro Discord para hablar mas a fondo.

Half a year of translation and other matters, July 2020

Just as about everyone else on this planet, our team has been impacted by Covid-19 in some ways. Fortunately for us and those who appreciate our translations though, our actual ability to work on this project together online has been pretty much unchanged! We have done more than work hard, though - we have been playing hard too. 

As our hopes of meeting up in person this year dwindled, the community spirit actually lifted and we have come together in creative and previously untried ways. Our community has grown from a volunteer work project into a place where we play rpgs, read our translations to each other in our native languages aloud, have movie nights in various languages, read our favorite stories to each other, draw together and much, much more. That being said, we did translate a whole bunch of episodes for you all. Without further ado, we present the work of the past seven months:

Transcribing

Tired of trying to figure out what a beholder should be called in [insert language here]? You can help @CRTranscript figure out what Matt was saying as that blue creature on the last episode.

[crtranslate]

Now that we know CR kickstarters can get funded have you guys considered asking CR Official to start a kickstarter for funding translations? You guys do a massive amount of difficult and extremely important labor that should be (and now definitely could be) compensated I'm willing to be that other fans would be willing to fund some translations even if the cast and crew can't

Thank you for your kind suggestion. We’re very grateful to see the community value our work so much.

However, we have no plans to crowdfund the translating work that we do. Introducing money into volunteer work, especially for an international team like ours creates many difficulties that we cannot afford.

Spreading more CR love everywhere for free is our greatest inspiration at the current stage. Thank you again for your support.

[crtranslate]

So what is the actual process for translating the show? I'm not seeing a FAQ page anywhere and feel a little lost about what's even going on here 😅

Okay, I am sorry t took us so long to get back to you, your question is a bit broad and we were not sure how to answer it. First, we do have an F.A.Q, right here: https://crtranslate.tumblr.com/FAQ (bit.ly/CRT_FAQdoc for mobile users)and you might find all of your answers there.

Second, the technical how-to is pretty well developed in our translation instructions which you will find here: bit.ly/CRT_InstructionsBut while I’m here, let me get through the general system we have.Volunteer translator will translate the episodes (CR campaign 1 and/or 2; One Shots; Handbooker Helper) by working on five-minute chunks - which can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours to translate, depending on the chunk, language and proficiency of the translator.Then another translator will come in and double check the work and give pointer wherever they find it pertinent. And after that someone (ideally a third translator, native in the target language) will go through the chunk one last time making sure it all flows well and that there are no grammar or spelling errors left.This is where the translators' job ends. The CRT staff, usually the team’s supervisor, will export the translated subtitles and we’ll send them across to Critical Role or Geek&Sundry depending on the project in question.

For practicality reasons, the translation documents live on google sheets and most of the translation work is usually done directly there. But nothing forbids you to work offline and then upload your chunk onto the sheet once it is done.All the links to all the sheets are on what we call the “Master Link List”.

I hope this answers your question·s if you have any more of them and neither the instructions nor the F.A.Q answers them you can send us another ask, we’ll be quicker next time I promise, an email or contact us on social media (links to all of those are pretty much everywhere. Or even better, join our Discord where you’ll be able to discuss with the staff or other translators directly. I guarantee speedy answers there.

See you soon and happy translating.Bill.
