You know, I'm actually hoping this project works, so I can actually UNDERSTAND some of the lies I misunderstood. I am german through and through, I can speak and write fluent english, but god forbid I can't understand a friggin tv show! If this gets translated inti things like french, italian, or hopefully german, I can actually get the few punch lines! So, if any one needs a german translator, I'm here.
(Of all the shows in amerika, satam and the smbss were the hardest to comprehend...)

(Sorry, lines not lies)

Yeah, sometimes it's really difficult to understand what they're saying.
But I remember having seen a clip from the German dub of SatAM. I believe it's posted here in FUS...
Or was only Season 1 dubbed?

If the French subs pull off well I'm hoping to get FUS subbed into a bunch of other languages, including German. It will be quite the project, but the first step in this is helping the boys out over at Unisson and getting them those English Transcripts. One the Transcripts are all finished it will make subbing into other languages a lot easier (Need to find translators but eh, we will get there when we get there).


I also want to eventually start translating Sea3on into other languages as well. I think that project would be a bit easier, really just need 1 translator from each language to change the text and upload it.

Anyways guys, thanks for your work, lets keep going at it till we are all done.

I once tried adding subs in Spanish to Season 2, but it wasn't easy because I didn't have transcripts
The only thing I tried to do was to change the names into those in the dub (the characters names were kept intact, but, however, the Power Rings were known as Magic Rings, and Knothole as simply "The Lair") to make it more confortable to those who had watched it on TV.

Just finished the Sonic Racer transcript. I'll email it to you, Baduka. I was pretty careful with it, so there shouldn't be any errors. Aside from some incoherent Antoine babble, I was pretty sure on all of it. I guess you could look it over once more though.

Btw- I realized a little way in that we are doing this to help to translate into French, yet Antoine's character essentially just makes fun of French people

[Hammer]

Does anybody know if there was a French dub?
It would be interesting to hear the french Antoine.

Wow, it looks like a good dub. Up to date, the only french dub I had ever heard was DBZ, which I absolutely hated because of its horrible translation.

However, I've heard Uncle Chuck being called Uncle Jules (WTF?) and Antoine just seems weird for me. Can anybody identify his accent?

EDIT: Uugh, Robotnik has that "robotic voice" effect, as if there were two people speaking at once.

[Bakuda]

Ha...that's pretty interesting. Snilvely's voice....suits him .

Anyway...a quick word about formatting. Normally in scriptwriting the names of characters (when not in dialog) are written in all caps so as to help differentiate between them and the spoken dialog. Example:

Scene 4: Mobotropolis 3224

SALLY: Where are we?
SONIC: Looks like Robo-town. Oh man, here we go again!
(SALLY gasps)
SWATBOTS: Greetings citizens, have a nice day.
SONIC: Nice day? We gotta check this out.
SALLY: Mobotropolis. Oh Sonic, isn’t it beautiful?
SONIC: Yeah, it sure is. Yo, there’s the palace!
SALLY: Oh, despite your bad concentration and synchronization, we arrived at the right time.
(SONIC sniffs the air)
SONIC: Home sweet home!

[Hammer]

All right.
I suppose that the other transcripts will also be revised, both for content and for layout, isn't it?

[Bakuda]

I'll take care of it...don't worry

[HaricTheHedgehog]

I heard that people in this topic would hear the French version of Antoine. I offer them this privilege.

[Hammer]

Does the French Antoine have any particular accent?
I mean, if it's French in all versions (save for Latin American Spanish, where he is Mexican ¬¬) he can't be French in a French dub.
It's like Futurama. A running gag says that in the year 3000, French is a dead language, but in the French dub, the dead language is German.

[Hammer]

Hey, btw, why aren't the finished transcripts in the page?
I'd like to see if any changes were made (I'm making my own translation too) before I start No Brainer (I've been really busy these last weeks)

[Bakuda]

I'm sorry...that's my fault. The past week or so has been crazy..especially this weekend. But I'll get them up soon and let you know when I do.

[Bakuda]

Ok...here's an update on the transcript project.

We currently have 9 transcripts completed and available on the website. You can find them here. That being said, 6 of those episodes were already done when this project started. Which means that in the last month and a half we've only succeeded in doing three transcripts, with another one nearing completion. That's a start, but far from where we should be. We need more help with this! There's still 14 episodes up for grabs. Anyone who can help out is appreciated. Check the list here and pick an episode. Be sure to post on this thread to let everyone know which episode you're doing. Also...a quick note on formatting. If you want a good example of a completed transcript here you go.

And for those who've already done some...thanks alot!!!

[chief]

Yeah so I've basically put Bakuda in full charge of this transcript project. I just don't have the time to watch over it and PM those who have already done a transcript and beg them to do more. I'm far too busy with some of the other site stuff.. Last night I made the hard choice and started giving others some of my tasks just so everything gets done properly.

Anyways just to let you know we have another group interested in subbing SatAM as well.. Just need those transcripts! So don't fail me guys. We've done a lot over the past 2 years with more on the way. Id like to get more of you to help out here.

So any questions and stuff like that Bakuda is the one to go to.

[Hammer]

I'd like to ask for a line which doesn't come properly in the transcripts.


In Sonic Conversion, at 13:35, Antoine says something. In the transcript, it's written as "hysteric rambling in background", but it can clearly be heard that he says "Or maybe some nice ___ ___ to keep your eyes red. They're so creepy when they're red".



Thanks in advance. I've got my own one-man translation/subbing project for SatAM, and I'm trying to alternate season 1 and season 2 (I've got my reasons), for which the transcripts come in handy. I've already done Game Guy and Heads or Tails, so Sonic Conversion is my next one in the list.

[Bakuda]

He did pretty well in saying hysteric rambling. I listened to it about a dozen times and got everyone on IRC listening to it and the closest we can come up with is "fruit tart". Sorry...wish I could do better with that for you.

[Hammer]

Thank you very much, I've checked it and it really says "Fruit tart". Thanks ^^

I assume the line is this:
ANTOINE: Or maybe some nice fruit tart to keep your eyes red. They're so creepy when they're red!

These transcripts will really help me with my translation project.
