Twokinds Translations

#1 Post by Kindamoody »

As it seems like people don't see the link to my "versions" site, here it is:

Sorry about the annoyance. Back to business.
________________________________________________________

In the past years, several attempts on translating Twokinds have been made, most of them not very successful as the translator usually found the work too hard. But then one day in the #twokinds chat we got news:
Tom in the IRC chat wrote:Jan 30 05:52:11 <Tom> Someone did a complete Russian translation of Twokinds.
There are now full Twokinds translations in these languages:
  • Russian, by Siber, first one to catch up with Tom (in January 2011), active and updates when a new comic is published.
    Spanish, by johnny_jones, caught up with Tom on June 20th 2011, also active.
    German, by Cornelius, caught up with Tom on October 14th 2011, but is it active? I can't decide for myself as my German is not good enough but it seems like it's on hold.
    Portuguese, by xamali, caught up with Tom on May 9th 2012, active.
    Polish, by Szmeszek, caught up with Tom on June 10th 2014, active.
    Polish, alternative translation by Bartenn and Wojszach, caught up with Tom some time during 2015.
    Czech, by Severka (HatGirl), caught up with Tom on June 17th 2016.
    Italian, by Valerio, caught up with Tom on January 12th 2018.
    French by Ja'shurheso'do, Darkgeem, Mathius, and Manax166, caught up with Tom on June 6th 2018.
    NEW! Chinese by Boltmu, caught up with Tom on March 6th 2019.
Then there are some unfinished translations:
  • Korean, by ShineVlue. Sadly enough, the translation is gone (I forgot how many pages but I think it was at least 300). It used to be avaiable at twokinds.kr but the domain expired and was taken over by someone else.
    Thai, by pcenterplayer, chapters 0-3 done.
    Italian, by GeekItalianGuy, chapters 0-2 done. Currently on hold because of lack of time.
    Italian, by Kopaka1996, starts off where the other Italian translation stopped but unfortunately this too is discontinued.
    Russian, alternative version by surf93, in progress.
    Norwegian (nynorsk) by Sigvart Brendberg, in progress, at least 110 pages done in April 2016. Will later move to http://2kinds.tk
    Swedish, my own, caught up with Tom on June 1st 2012 but is currently on hold because of lack of time.
Did I forget any? Send me a pm or contact me in my IRC chat channel. (This chat is also a place where I and some of the other translators have been discussing translations in the past.)

Some hints for potential translators. Basically, you need to do these steps:
  • a) remove the original text
    b) translate the text
    c) put your text on the page using some kind of image editor (Photoshop, Gimp or anything that works. But don't even think of using Paint!!!)
    d) (optionally) redo onomatopoeia and other things where just a font is not enough (like in page 20)
    e) find somewhere to upload the pages
    f) (optionally) make a web page that shows the pages, one at a time
But I've saved you a lot of time on step a): on http://kindamoody.com/versions/, my "versions" site, there are (among other versions) text-erased versions of all the pages (except perhaps the most recent one(s). Some things might still have to be erased or changed, but almost all the work is already done. These pages were erased by me, johnny_jones, ShineVlue and surf93 (thanks also to Tom, who simplified the work a lot by providing "speechless" comics). I've also got some .zip archives for download, with many pages in each, but you'll have to ask me for the current URL to them. They might also need to be updated as they're not complete.

Depending on your ambitions you might also be interested in knowing what fonts have been used for the various pages, and I can help you with that too (some of the information I got directly from Tom, so I know it's accurate).

There's at least one older translation thread around, I started this new one as the previous one contains a lot of outdated stuff... if you want to check it out, the main content of it starts around http://twokinds.net/forum/viewtopic.php ... 6&start=21.

Yay! You started it! I wish I could help with some translations, but unfortunately, the only language I know is English. I know a little bit of other languages, but not enough to be fluent.

Well, since Cornelius is doing an amazing job translating Twokinds into German and is already far ahead of my own translation, I decided to stop working on it. I wrote him an E-Mail, offering my domain (for free, of course!). Should he chose to take it from me, the "official" German translation is reachable under http://www.twokinds.de.
Should he decide that he dooesn't need it, I will think of something else. Maybe I'll create a redirection towards his page if it's okay for him.

Either way, keep up the good work, translators! :grin:
Greetings,
Riddler

Announcement:

My own translation is now officially dead.

The good news is: The German translation is still reachable by www.twokinds.de !

In agreement with Cornelius I redirected my domain to his translation page until further notice. :)

Thai translation added. I took the liberty to change the link to the page that actually shows the first page of the comic, though.
