Still wanting an English translation aswell !!

Nightfox · 20 July 2017, 23:41

I have used tools to create a google translated version of the PDF. It’s translated terribly but it is barely translated enough to follow. If the official English version isn’t coming then maybe I can upload my version

And (only if the official English version isn’t going to be released) we can form a group in here where each group member gets allocated a chapter or 2 to convert the badly translated google English into proper English. Then it can be compiled back into book form

Nightfox · 24 July 2017, 22:37

Or I don't mind doing the whole thing myself but it could take a while. Are there any objections?

I like that idea...
Better than rolling around in thumb tacks before my alcohol bath....

:-) Seriously, I like it..
I don't know much assembler yet, but I'd be willing to try to clean up some text...

I'd be willing to translate a chapter like this too. From the first part not the 3d part.

Nightfox · 05 August 2017, 02:00

No disrespect to the official translators of the project but should we get this unofficial project started then? The official owners have all right to stop this. But yes I have already begun chapter 1. If you want to do chapter 2 then that would be great

Bear in mind the Google translated version is truly awful. If you have parts that you need help putting into proper english then you can let me know

Emufr3ak · 07 August 2017, 17:12

In this case I'll do chapter 2

I think the translation is a lot better for later chapters. Google seems to do a better job on technical explanations but has problems with the introduction part.

English is not my mother tongue. While i think my English is not too bad, I'd appreciate someone to look over it after I'm finished.

Nightfox · 11 August 2017, 01:07

Thanks a lot

Emufr3ak · 13 September 2017, 22:27

I'm working at Lesion2 at the moment. Translation takes long and I have limited time. i can do about 2 pages a week at the moment. So this will take a while.

Nightfox · 14 September 2017, 08:48

Lately with my new job I don't have much time to translate at a fast rate as well. We need more translators if we hope to get this finished before 2020

I wonder if the official translation project is truly abandoned

Emufr3ak · 14 September 2017, 22:12

I sent a private message to alexsperri. One of the writers of the course. Lets see if we hear something back. If I dont hear anything or if the project is abandoned I think we should try to motivate more people to translate. If all goes wrong I'll head for 2020. Better late than never ;-)

MartinW · 15 September 2017, 12:00

How is the google translation? I don't speak any Italian but if the google translation is good enough for me to get the gist of what it's going on about then i'd be happy to translate / clean up a chapter, maybe more if I get into the content as well.

G**gle translation just transforms your text to broken english.

I realise that, I've used it many times. I meant what is the google translation of this book like? As in, how reasonable is it? Or has nobody done that part yet and maybe it needs doing as we go along?

Nightfox · 16 September 2017, 06:10

It’s quite terrible for Italian. Some sentences make no sense at all

OmegaMax · 16 September 2017, 06:18

Example:; it calculates address: every line and' constituted from ; 40 byteses; you add to the address of departure.

This is just one example of how bad google translate is for Italian

MartinW · 16 September 2017, 12:46

Ah, ok - if it's that bad then I can't help. You'll need someone that speaks assembler, Italian, or both, as well as being a native English speaker. This might well be why it hasn't happened so far?

Emufr3ak · 16 September 2017, 17:48

I do think in the right context you can make sense of it, even if some sentences sound quite funny. It means a lot of work though.

I tried learning from those tutorials but couldn't understand what was being said,so instead I started reverse engineering game routines to learn.I can share my progress and routines if you guys want to learn also.
