Re: I'll post some more when I get off my ass and finish.

Actually... I just finished translating pages 119-126 of the manga vol 1 which I'm pretty sure has not been scanlated and is not part of the webcomics.

The thing is, it has the Axis and the Allies and an extremely cute Finland so I'm a bit hesitant about posting the translation here for people to edit. I'm afraid if it gets posted to the main comm there all the Nordic fans will, uh, go rather crazy over it and I know that can be irritating to other fans. I like 3/5 of the Nordics and even then sometimes I get the 'oh STFU already' feeling.

And I really like Finland and it's such a cheery story that I really don't want bad feelings to come from it so...

tl;dr, I will probably cherry pick another section to translate before I put the whole chunk here for someone to edit but all the other sections seem to either have been scanlated before or are part of the scanlated webcomics, so idk. Might translate pg 127 to the end.

I-I'm not exactly sure what you...

Do... do you want me to scanlate it with your translations...?

....lol I was going to ask you to do that but I think I got derailed halfway...

Re: I'll post some more when I get off my ass and finish.

[acordak]

lololol

Well, uh, I'd be happy to! Just post the translation and link me to the scans and I'll get right on it.

Gimme a day or two, I think I'll just translate more while I'm on a roll.

Re: I'll post some more when I get off my ass and finish.

[acordak]

Alright, sounds good!

Re: I'll post some more when I get off my ass and finish.

Well, I'll just pass you the scans and trans for the part I've done.
As for the rest... if I don't pester you more by the time you've already finished this batch, feel free to post it on the main comm :)

Batch 2: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?nuy0magmtdh
For the translations, just scroll down the txt file until you reach pg 127.

PS: Great job on the edits! You might want to resize it to around 800-850 pixels in width for easier reading and less browser breaking...
Btw, will you be posting all these to the main comm? I was kinda hoping that you would...

Re: I'll post some more when I get off my ass and finish.

and oh, I mooched these scans of MangaHelpers, if you need to credit or state your sources or whatever.

Re: I'll post some more when I get off my ass and finish.

I don't think scanlations should be kept away from the main comm, if that's what you mean.

Re: I'll post some more when I get off my ass and finish.

[anonymous]

Nope I'm not thinking of keeping scanlations away from the main comm. Just... thinking if I should translate more before asking someone here to edit.

Re: I'll post some more when I get off my ass and finish.

[anonymous]

there's not a set amount someone has to translate before getting others to scanlate. hell, you could get away with just translating one strip at a time and i doubt people would mind

Re: I'll post some more when I get off my ass and finish.

[anonymous]

If you post what you already have, acordak can start scanlating them while you can work on the rest in the meantime~

Re: I'll post some more when I get off my ass and finish.

[anonymous]

I actually had the same idea a couple of minutes ago. Will be doing that as soon as I proofread my trans.

Re: I'll post some more when I get off my ass and finish.

[anonymous]

Then have it posted kalmarunionen" so we can squee in peace? :|

(I don't get why everyone cares so much about one small group of fans)

Re: I'll post some more when I get off my ass and finish.

does it matter if they go crazy over it though? seems like a total dick move to keep the strips from people just because a handful of enthusiastic fans start writing in caps over a strip that focuses on something they really like :| it's not like you have to read the comments, or anything. man i hope i'm not coming off as too bitchy here

but thank you for taking the time to translate and all! i dunno what we'd do without you guys ♥
