translator? i hate translator,

dont be mad sire, but i dont have a deep compassion for a translator because they're screwin up the original and made the translation lost its soul... and meaning

when i read translation book such as harlequin or twilight series, the soul-lost-irony is not bad, because i dont have any difficulities in visualize such a light material

but when it comes to an important textbook, its a real nightmare. if you read a textbook about engineering you'll encounter a misconception gap that the translator means something, but the original writer means something else! try to read elektromagnetika telekomunikasi and compare it with the original which was wrote by the William H. Hayt...

Then you haven't read the books I've translated

Try to read it, it'll blown your mind

Not all translator's job is crap bro. Don't generalize something just because of some of your bad experiences.

Agree,...
I just can't imagine a world without translators.
One terrible translation result doesn't mean all translators are bad, try reading other translated books, and compare.

Soon to be published... From Harlequin series.
Seers of Grampian Trilogy: The Runaway McBride, The Scot and I, and Bewitching Bride...
Ambrosiana translated the first of the trilogy....

That's good for you!!
You go, girl!!

quite unfair to me.. i'm translator :cool

not crappie sire,but its what i have to say... that their job is not as good as reading the originals,

but if i have any oppurtunity to read what you have wrote, i'll be glad to hire you as my translator, thanks before

[COLOR="Navy"]actually u have ur own point. such as reading original twilight which written by Stephanie Meyer is totally different with the translated version. I mean TOTALLY !
geez they removed a lot of romantic quotes ! [/COLOR]

May I know the translator of this book, gan??

Sir, I think you're just downright rude.
This is a thread for fellow translators to share tips, joy & sorrow of being translators, vacancy, etc and yet you suddenly came in here and insult us all. What is your motive actually? You're no translator, you don't know how translator work, you haven't even done a translation job yourself, so you have NO RIGHT to insult everyone here.
If you are one senior translator and decided to say or state that every junior translators work are crappy, then it's OK. You have the experience, you have the experiment, you have everything to back up what you say.
But since you have nothing, no experience, no credential, then GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE.
If you don't like translator and what they do with the translated books, then what business do you have in here?! Go sit on your high horse and read all those expensive and original language-books. Don't bother to read our work and we won't even bother to show you one.

If it's bata you're looking for, you're at the wrong thread.
Don't ever come back here unless to aplogize.


Her name was Monica something.
BTW you asked me where I work, I now work for Zahra Publishing. In its sub-publisher: Dastan.

yessir, i have to rewrite the chapter i have to learn and try to sinthesize what the real idea behind the symbol and word he/she was wrote.



insult? do you ever feel any sarcasm or critics in my opinion? why you tell me to get out from here and face the mis-interpreted books and article? am i dont have any right at all to criticize your work? i have translate many journal and books (not a whole book) in order to correct several critical parts which go south in translation.

joy and sorrow? have you know about the joy and sorrow about reading the faulted interpreted books? you dont have to face your mentor and debating about the definition which is so different from the original and the translated one.

i think you just a lil bit arrogant sire, but you have to know that in your works lies responsibilities to "translate" the idea, not to mislead your reader and make our job harder. since we pay for the books, we have rights to get something in return. and one thing: i dont expect such as harsh response from someone with so many reputation and special honored member. dont you know that your manner in response is so RUDE?

even when i came to DC which filled by kaskus lowest barrel water they never tell me to bug off like this.

if you ask apologies, okay i give it: i'm sorry, i came to the wrong thread to criticize your fellow and i will carry the "joy and sorrow" about reading mis-interpreted books somewhere else.

thankyou sir!

Ah Sir, by all respect... You know since we're in a Forum which most of people are anonymous...
You know we assess a person by their posts...

So I have to say... the way you jumped in is in fact impolite...
Started a line with sentences like:


I think it's a natural for Sis Pinkie saying that thing... (What do you expect from a guess who coming and said they hate the host?...)
Because your sentence were too much generalizing and accusing the profession (you mention 'translator', right?)

I myself felt uncomfortable though I tried to avoid that and changed the subject...


No one will be evicted from DC just because being rude [COLOR="White"]because people are free to be rude there...
