ALAKTORN 170 Report post Posted June 22, 2013 been reading the manga, here’s an old one I hadn’t translated わかったわ！7つ揃えるってドラゴンボールね！！ | I got it! Collecting all 7, that’s about Dragon Balls, right?! edit: seeing as the scanlation kept taikō untranslated, I left it as is too; only thing I’m not sure about is whether it should be singular or plural… 本物の太閤は将棋が弱かったらしいわよ・・・ | I’ve heard that real taikō were actually weak at shōgi… this one’s funny, about Conan and Jodie going derp (I think, or I’ve completely misunderstood it) 仕方ないじゃない！気抜いてたんだから・・・ | It couldn’t be helped! They lost focus… feel free to propose better wording than “they lost focus” if you can think of anything 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chekhov MacGuffin 1089 Report post Posted June 23, 2013 seeing as the scanlation kept taikō untranslated, I left it as is too; only thing I’m not sure about is whether it should be singular or plural… 本物の太閤は将棋が弱かったらしいわよ・・・ | I’ve heard that real taikō were actually weak at shōgi… Taikō is singular here because it is referring to the Taikō, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who Shuukichi is nicknamed after. I went ahead and fixed this one. As for the other one, lost focus or slacked off seems to be right. I think it's a reference to the beginning of file 856 when Conan figures out it was Bourbon and Vermouth at the shrine. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ALAKTORN 170 Report post Posted June 23, 2013 thanks for the help Chekhov 画力対決で描いてたゴルゴって、ひょっとして横溝弟なんじゃないかしら？ for this one I have no idea what the first part means (画力対決で描いてたゴルゴって) the latter is something like “isn’t it the younger brother Yokomizo?” other than that everything has been translated I’ll try asking my Japanese teacher about it this monday 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chekhov MacGuffin 1089 Report post Posted June 23, 2013 thanks for the help Chekhov 画力対決で描いてたゴルゴって、ひょっとして横溝弟なんじゃないかしら？ for this one I have no idea what the first part means (画力対決で描いてたゴルゴって) the latter is something like “isn’t it the younger brother Yokomizo?” other than that everything has been translated I’ll try asking my Japanese teacher about it this monday It sounds like it's about an "artistic skill showdown" and "Golgo's depiction" referring to the main character Golgo 13 from the same named manga (ゴルゴ13 Gorugo Sātīn). The main character Golgo looks a bit like the younger Yokomizo brother, Jugo. ==== I would personally capitalize Taiko because it is a title and an exemplary nickname. You see the convention in the President (when referring to the current president), Alexander the Great, the First Lady, and the Oracle (of Delphi). It's a nitpicky English grammar point. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ALAKTORN 170 Report post Posted June 23, 2013 but what’s this artistic skill showdown about? で描いてた should mean “drawn there”, so Haibara is saying that the Golgo drawn at the artistic skill showdown looks a lot like Jūgo…? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looking more into 画力対決, it seems to a specific expression for when one guy tries to draw another artist's character. Look at the image results for "画力対決". Maybe you can put it together as "Doesn't the Golgo (13) drawn at the redrawing showdown look like the younger brother (Juugo) Yokomizo?" 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ALAKTORN 170 Report post Posted June 24, 2013 here’s what I’ve put “Doesn’t the Golgo drawn at the redrawing showdown look a lot like the younger Yokomizo brother?” even though I’m not confident Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ALAKTORN 170 Report post Posted July 1, 2013 話がチャカポコしてて「まじっく快斗」な雰囲気ね・・・ means something like “The story is all over the place, it gives a Magic Kaito atmosphere…” I’m too wasted to think of how to properly put it right now even though that doesn’t sound so bad itself edit: added to wiki, didn’t feel like finding a better way to word it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ALAKTORN 170 Report post Posted July 8, 2013 蘭ちゃんポロリしちゃうわよ・・・ | Ran-chan’s is gonna fall off… dictionary says it could also be “crying” but in my experience ポロリ is always used for when a piece of clothing / towel covering body / etc. accidentally falls off, so I went with that interpretation not knowing what sort of thing is gonna fall off I just put “Ran-chan’s” though it sounds awkward; once the chapter is out I guess we’ll know what it’s about edit: having seen the raw, it’s about her dress, although I feel like it’d be a more appropriate comment for Sonoko… but yeah, I’ll put “Ran-chan’s dress is gonna fall off…” even though that’s not the exact nuance as in Japanese but I don’t know how else to put it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ALAKTORN 170 Report post Posted August 10, 2013 2 new ones ちなみに三毛猫ホームズはメス猫らしいわよ・・・ this I don’t quite understand, “By the way, the calico cat Holmes seems to have been a female…” the part I don’t understand is whether Holmes had such a cat or if the cat itself was named Holmes edit: must’ve been referring to this show http://wiki.d-addicts.com/Mikeneko_Holmes_no_Suiri translation could also be “By the way, the cat in Calico Cat Holmes (or Mikeneko Holmes) seems to have been a female…”, I ultimately put “By the way, the calico cat in Mikeneko Holmes seems to have been a female…” but it could be changed if someone thinks otherwise ムギちゃん見つかって良かったわね・・・ | I’m glad she was able to find Mugi-chan… that’s the old woman’s cat that looks similar to Tai-chan 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ALAKTORN 170 Report post Posted October 29, 2013 興味深いわね、世良ちゃんの寝室・・・ | I’m really interested in Sera-chan’s bedroom… I’m not really sure about the translation but oh well Does anyone think they can reword this to make it something like “Sera-chan’s bedroom is of great interest…”? Basically removing the subject, but actually making it sound decent, that one doesn’t sound decent to me. I just read in a game the word I’m translating as “interesting” translated as “curious”, so maybe that could be used instead if it sounds better. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
