[yfu]

ie turnabout: If you don't want to leave us on a cliffhanger but can't commit to a full scanlation, would a transcript + link to raws be easier for you? We appreciate all your hard work and dedication, but please don't stress yourself out.

Thanks for your concern! Long post incoming.

Seriously I love Turnabout and it's only 4 volumes (starts frothing at the mouth). While v1-3 raws are easy to find and I shouldn't have to spoonfeed you, v4 hasn't been ripped yet except by a friend of mine which is why I have them, however I am uncomfortable sharing these unedited because, well, they cost money!

Sorry as I am answering this message I just finished translating up to chapter 4 of v2. If anything the lack of attention this project has gotten made me really stubborn. Realistically, I could finish this in like, a week if I wanted to, but its mind-numbing work.

To not get into it too much, since I work solo, my workflow is a bit crazy. I'll read once, then sit down to translate with a rough script (generally both literal and localized translations), then I clean all the speech bubbles, EDIT THE SCRIPT AS I TYPESET while also comparing to the original JP dialogue, then proofread like 3 times, then edit again. I actually proofread multiple times, staggering releases so I can go reread with fresh eyes or get someone else's opinion.

So the problem is that I'm editing the stuff to fit as I'm typesetting, making sure it looks good, makes sense, and isn't too literal. Just the raw script would read like shit. It is very hard for me to read script without matching it to the pictures since it's just dialogue, it just doesn't capture the raw feeling. I also think it would take more time for me to format the script so it's legible than if I just typeset it outright. That's why there are teams of people who work on a single series. I'm a bit backwards and take some pride in my work, as much as any other group does. lol.

I'll just stop if I don't feel like it anymore. And no, I don't accept typesetting/editing/whatever else help because of my weird workflow, and I don't want to make commitments to anyone but myself.

edit: you know what would be faster? If the people who have it in English typed out the script from their copies.
