fic translations

[lucathia]

Jenny Flint has offered to translate my fics into Spanish and has translated three of my oneshots to start things off! \o\ (The three oneshots I've written about Adair)

♥ El Impresionante Club de Fans de Adair
Aunque Adair no lo sabía, tenía un club de fans. Un club de fans muy impresionante, que tenía dos miembros muy impresionantes: los Caballeros Tormenta y Juicio.

♥ Aún en la oscuridad, el Sol brilla
Adair creía que su futuro capitán era perfecto, pero cuando Grisia destruye esas ilusiones, Adair no queda nada contento.

♥ El camino para volverse impresionante
Adair es un vice-capitán impresionante. Sin embargo, no comenzó siendo exactamente así. Si la genialidad de Adair era 40% parte de su naturaleza, entonces el 60% restante se debe, en realidad, al estímulo de Sol. O eso afirma el Caballero Sol.

Eeeee. This is just amazing. Future Spanish translations can be found at Lucathia Rykatu-esp. I cannot get over how amazing this is. I'm now trying to read my own fics in Spanish with my bare understanding of Spanish. XD;

Also, this has made me want to translate a few of my fics into Chinese all over again. I might do it some day, and it would be good practice for my Chinese composition.


My fic writing hasn't gotten far these past few days, but I'm excited to try out Dragon NaturallySpeaking! I bought myself the program when I saw it on sale. (A big part of my motivation this year for NaNo was for the discounts for various programs for winning, haha, but I'm very faaar from winning. I managed to find discounts elsewhere though, so yay!) I've been wanting to try Dragon out for ages. Windows 7's built in speech-to-text is okay, but I'm hoping Dragon will be even better! I'd like to use it to write fic, but I wonder how I'd do with speaking my fics out loud, haha. It might actually be more difficult, but who knows? I'm always looking for different ways to plop my ideas down. XD; I first have to update the vocabulary database though, or else names will give the program some difficulties. At least it recognizes Adair. =P Lesus is giving it trouble though. I keep getting leases and lace and am having difficulty having the program learn my pronunciation of Lesus... XD

Woah this is awesome! Congrats on getting your fics translated!! I know...virtually no Spanish, but they look amazing ♥

It's so exciting to see! 8D

How exciting to have your fics translated! That is so cool!!

Ooo, good luck with Dragon. I've never tried one of those speech to text programs, but that's because I think I would feel awkward doing it. Name pronunciations especially. XD;

So cool! ♥

I had Dragon scan my fic folder yesterday, and then I trained it to learn my pronunciation of a bunch of names. I ended up recording a lot of Japanese names, haha, since a lot of my fics are for anime and manga. It was kinda awkward since my dad was sitting in the same room and probably wondering why I had ended up mostly training Dragon in learning Japanese names.

I skipped recording swear words, haha. That would have been even more awkward. Lots of awkwardness ahead for me. 8D;;;

hi, just took a look at the translations. Jenny did a good job of it. (still like it better in english, though). only thing I noticed wrong is 'blueberry' which she translated as 'mora azul' (blue - blackberry), and should be 'arándano' instead

a speech to text program sounds interesting, a partner once made one (that was a lot better than the windows one) as a university project. I'm not really into speech to text, I... hardly ever talk as it is... dictating to my pc... I'd probably ditch the program the first time it made a mistake...
training programs can be so awkward. hehe, I got my text to speech trained in a bunch of japanese too

I looked up mora azul and arándano. Is this a regional thing? I saw a lot of different responses here! I find it very curious that there are so many different responses.

I've been wanting to try out my speech to text program more, except I haven't found much time to use it yet. OTL I'm mostly in the living room with the rest of the family, so there's never much time that's quiet enough. =/ Guess that's another downside to speech to text! I find that I organize my thoughts differently depending on if I'm speaking aloud or writing something down, so I'm interested to see what I'll compose through talking, haha. Will be a good experiment.

Do you know of any text to speech for android systems? I'd still like to install text to speech on my cell phone... I'll have to look into that more. :3

interesting discussion that, don't really know if it's a regional thing, I actually didn't know the spanish name of the fruit (hadn't actually seen one since.... more than 10 years) and bumped into some in a supermarket it had the name in the tag (both in english and spanish), that's how I found it

lol yes, I find it extremely awkward writing (and sometimes drawing) when my family is around... gosh, and it being a speech to text (background sound aside)... yes, thoughts are indeed arranged differently, it'll be interesting to read it too.

currently I don't know any apps, android has SVOX or something like that. quite natural sounding voices, but I haven't found how to use them yet (and it's paid ones)
