FRANÇAIS Voici une case contenant une bulle narration. Le texte suivant ne s'adresse qu'aux anglophones. Ce style de BD est mieux connu parmi les francophones. J'explique certains aspects de ma traduction anglaise du récit de cette BD francophone. ENGLISH Sometimes, I will only summarize the clip(s) (telling the story in the third person) for: 1- Censored clip(s) 2- A subset of clips 3- Some clips that require extra explanations 4- Most clips of the first half of Episode 2, because there are lots of mixture of censored and non-censored clips. I will usually not translate the text in balloons that are : 1- Only noise made by the mouth, throat or nose; ex. "Snif!", "Slurp!" 2- Only punctuation; ex. "?" 3- Only interjections; ex. "Ouch!" "Heu!" 4- Only a single word (for most balloons); ex. "Yes!", "Michette!" However, I will include them if such word is part of a longer text; ex. "Ouch! It hurts my nose; snif!" Ionivka and some another character(s) are stuttering; I will not show that aspect in my translation. Instead of "T-T-The t-t-table," I will simply write, "The table.” One character is talking "verlan" (inverting the syllable of every word). I will translate verlan text as normal text, but I will add "verlan" as an identifier of the balloon type, like Sverlan: The nuclear reaction... instead of S: The arclenu tionreac... If a character tells a long comment, I usually split the text into 2 or more balloons, often of a different type. The text of the first balloon ends with 3 dots, the continuation text in the related balloon of the next clip starts with 3 dots. Often, if the content of the speech is not important but I want to give an indication of the situation, I write either the beginning, or the end of what the character is telling. Respectively, the text will either end by 3 dots, of will start by 3 dots. A good example is shown in my post, yesterday on Sept 14 : *A Basic Clip." Her ordicom (computer for Big-Feet) is playing a recorded lesson : "At the next lesson, we will introduce..." There is no need to write everything.
