Invis’ Translation Glossary (1?)

I often ask for feedback regarding my style and choice of translation in terms of style and inclusions to the posts, and since I’m very behind, I thought I’d give some insight on some things I typically do with blog post translations. For now here’s a couple of things real quick.

Note: This is for these Blog translations only, when doing “Official Statements” and “Subs” I run with different standards for various reasons.

—-

1. DokiDoki WakuWaku!
Typically you’ll notice in posts I leave both the translations and the wording together in a translation. Most people would probably call this bad translations on my part and in a professional setting this may be so but there is a point to this. If this were a video, I would probably not include this because you’d hear the words yourself, and if you’ve seen any translations I’ve done of official statements I avoid this in general unless it’s a title for a show.

The reason you see this is for those curious about the onomatopoeia style Japanese hold for their words, especially with it’s frequent use in titles, as well as part of the normalcy I had occurred in my own upbringing.

If it hasn’t been made clear, I live in Hawaii and the use of this style of talking was part of my upbringing. Though not all Japanese words you would find it normal in the places I lived to hear people say things like, “This place is all guchagucha,” and find it natural. This might seem out of place outside of Hawaii, and if enough people think it is, I’m fine excluding it. I noticed that childrens media come to making up sounds and words for things too, so I figured it’d be equivalent as long as I translate the sounds as well (which I do).

How to spot the translations: Usually before or after the use of the Onomatopoeia.
What the main characteristic is: Sound words usually in doubles or conjoined with camel-type (ConjoinedCaptialization)

Examples:
DokiWaku Hearting pounding excitement
It was slippery TsuruTsuru

2. Gochisousama Deshita vs. Otsukare
I’m constantly on the ropes with how to handle these kinds of words, and in all the time I’ve been doing blog translations I’ve wavered a lot on what I do.

Right now, certain terms which have clear equivalents are given them (Ohayo = Mornin’ being a prime example). Recently I’ve shifted Otsukare(sama Deshita) into being Good Work Everyone, or Job Well Done Everyone. General this is an acceptable equivalent and is often done in real life after work is over.

Gochisousama Deshita and Itadakimasu on the otherhand does not necessarily have a good equivalent. Sure people have given the “Thanks for the food” expression before, but the commonality of saying that at the beginning and end of every meal in English is rare (again from my personal experience). I’ve also mentioned it before but if it’s okay for a person to use French to say “Bon Apetite” then this should be okay too.

In contrast I shifted Yoroshiku Onegaishimasu recently as well into being whatever equivalent fits the line, making it harder to tell when they say it (unless you read Japanese) but makes it sound more natural. This was done because of the increased use of it in various situations where a translation was needed, or else it would sound confusing. All translations follow the cultural meaning of the words though, so it’s still translations.

How to spot translations: Key phrases usually be capitalized
What is main characteristics: They are set translations for phrases which don’t always have straight “translated” equivalents but more “cultural” equivalents

Examples:
G’night (G’nite)
Good Work Everyone

3. Happy Birthday
An ongoing issue exists with the concept of Happy Birthday (Otanjoubi Omedetou) and the shorting to just Omedetou. As of now I translate just Omedetou, which is normally translated as congratulations, when it is clearly a shortening of Otanjoubi Omedetou as just “happy birthday” as opposed to “Happy Birthday” This is one major exception as of now.

—–

So there’s a couple of starters, if you have better ideas for how to handle issues let me know! I also want to some day soon talk about what I feel is the differences in “translations” and styles. But I want to know what you guys think about these too. And what you all prefer and why, so comments, questions, and the like in the comments and I can address them in the future… even make a feature out of this for real!

Till then and hopefully with more up to date, ja ne~

I went to a grave visit.

 

 

Visiting graves is important so, I’m glad I got to go dokidoki

 

 

On the way home we dropped into my beloved Tony Roma’s for food

 

 

o0480048012414169147

 

 

 

 

Gochisousama Deshita.

 

Q&a…

 

 

▪I dance but
This time they decided that I get to dance in the big play!
But, the actual stage or event… or even where we’re doing rehearsals, they said I won’t be able to check them out (;_;) The condition of the hall (;_;)
Still not knowing where I stand in the play (My position and the distance to other people) I don’t have anything like that(;_;)
If it were Gakisan, what would youー do??

 

 

Amazing! Congrats♪♪

 

MmーFor sure I’d be uneasy huh…
If it were me, I think I’d image train in my head over and over.

 

It’ll be fine for sure! Do your best kay

 

▪ The stress form tests or eating too much, I ended up getting chubby. Please tell me Gakisan’s recommended diet method (>人<;)

 

 

Don’t use the escalator & elevator, try using the stairsー‼

 

▪Please always watch over Ikuta’s growth (^-^)/

 

 

Ee♡ of course!

 

 

▪ Have there been any Ikuta mails or anything lately that have you burst out laughing? Maybe not from Ikuta but from other members.

 

 

I haven’t been bursting out in laughter. lol
They’ve gone down quite a bit from before but, occasionally we mail each other!

 

 

 

▪Gakisaーn♡

 

Your eyelashes are long huh
What mascara are you using?

 

Gakisan I love you♡

 

I’m using Deja vu mascara

 

 

▪ Is there a name you long to have?

 

Not really
Risa is quite fitting!

 

 

▪ Swimring buns and gyoza docks, which do you like more?

 

 

The swimrings dokidoki

 

▪If you were to get married?
Being together for a long time and knowing each other well? Or more “BiBiBi!”・・・・・ Which type are you?

 

 

Being together together for a long time I’d know their good points and bad points, and conversely they know all about me too so, I think that’d be great clearsmile

 

 

▪Advice for Love (^^)

 

There’s this person I like that I want to be with but we still haven’t hung out, what kind of places do you think we should hang out?

 

Please tell me!

 

 

Ohーdokidoki That’s heart pounding DokiDoki huh!
Anywhere is fine I thinkー!
If it’s a place you can naturally have fun, like a park to start?dokidoki
Kyaー do your best kay♡

 

 

▪Please tell me the type of guy you like!

 

A person who would calm me down when we’re together.
A person with consideration who loves suprises would be great♡”

The other day, When I appeared on Butai Kibako no Kai,
in my free time… I went to Shimokita’s Cafe clearsmile

 

 

It was really cute, and yummy

 

I don’t really go to Shimokita so it was fun

 

o0480048012414561127

 

 

 

 

Everyone, do you ahve a cafe you’d reccmmend?

 

 

Q&a…

 

 

-What animated movie do you like!?
Mine is Toy Story!

 

 

Mmー! I love Toy Story too!
But but
Monsters Inc….dokidokidokidoki I love it

 

-Up until now you’re challenging yourself wih all kinds of acting but
 what was your hardest one?

 

 

With any role, it’s hard, so hard that for sure it’s worth doing, and I study from it so, I can’t pick one
Sorrynyo…

 

-I can’t go to the event on the 16th (T ^ T)
There’s gonna be another one later too right?
I want to go to the next one for sureeee!!!

 

Achaー.. oo
That’s too badnyo——
I’ll do my best so we can do another too kay

 

 

-Gakisan what’s the longest amount of time you’ve slept?

 

Around 12hours I thinkー

 

Probably.

 

-Nice to meet you Niigaki-san!
I’m currently the same generation as Niigaki-san, and have someone I like right now.
That person is actually 2 years younger and is currently attached to someone.
I totally loved them but last year for a bit it subsided but, again my feelings of love are coming out…
I don’t know what to think to get past it (´д`)
Is there a good way to tell my feelings??

 

I’m timid so I end up getting nervous doing even a little bit (;>_<;)

 

 

If you don’t tell them afterwards you might regret it oo!! if yo uthink of it like that maybe yo ucan try telling them?dokidoki

 

Fightinggg up

 

 

 

-I, at my friends wedding next month,
am in charge of entertainment, and will
sing one song (>_<)ゞ

 

Up until now I haven’t really
sung in front of people so I’m very nervous but (*゚ロ゚)
In any case when I do it I gotta give it my all!
that’s how I’m thinking about it ( ´艸`)

 

Gakisan, before plays and lives,
when you get nervous what do you do
to relax?
Ifthere is a Gakisan style of relaxation technique,
I want to know ( ^o^)ノ

 

 

 

Oo dokidoki
Congratssss!

Giving it your all is important! I thinkー

 

It’ll be all right! Go for it!

 

I tell myself that, and do my best you know

You don’t make her drink a lot do you?( ̄∀ ̄)

 

 

We drink
No no. I’m the weaker one,
My little sis is pretty good with it.

 

 

 

– Gakisan from what age to what age would you accept for marriage?

 

 

I’m not really concerned with age

 

– I, right now am in the same school as the person I like but,
we’re both in 3rd year of high school and soon we’re gonna graduate so,
I feel like when we graduate we won’t have a chance to see each other.
So, I feel like I want to confess before we graduate but, I don’t have the courage (>_<)
Please give advice of what I should do!

 

 

Waa oo
That’s quite heart rushing KyunDoki huhーーーー

 

 

Valentine’s is soon too isn’t it?!!!!

Still my gen mates are calming dokidoki

Q&a…

 

▪ My 2 year old son lately
has been saying,
“Maーma, I love youー”
I’ve thought,
he’s so cute I can’t scold himー
but when he’s bad I have to scold him,
I’m incapable of being a Mama huh?
Gakisan, did you get
scold by your Mama a lot when you were small too?

 

 

Being told things like Maーmaー I love youー, hits you right in the heart huh oo

 

When I was small, and I did bad things I got scolded, that was really standard till I grew up I think.

 

 

▪ Gakisaーーn!! What do you think I should do to get my skin prettyー? I want my skin to be like Gakisan’s!!

 

 

Pack~moisturizers.

 

 

▪Gakisan, how do you think up such funny words??(≧ω≦。)
Yoropikocchu or Oppachipaopaoo, when I read your blog I think, “Gakisan’s adorableー,” or “She’s so funnーy!!!”…ヽ(^ω^)ノ
How do you do it?? lol
Talent??∩^ω^∩

 

 

 

A…a natural gift⁈

 

Uhyoyaーhappyーthanksー

 

 

 

▪ Have you eaten the Jagarico “Plum kombu flavor”ー??
For me it was really yummy (≧∇≦)♪♪

 

 

Yup. After seeing the cM… it was on my mind.

 

 

AーI want to eat some.

 

 

▪Gakisan’s legs, they’re superー slender, I’m jealous (T_T)♡
What’s the secret to keeping your legs thin (*゚▽゚*)?

 

 

ehe.
Thankchu.

 

I use the stairs.

 

 

▪This year I want to get thin, every day I’m doing my best with sit ups and jumping ropes! Gakisan do you have any exercise that you do continuously??

 

 

You really gooーd. You have my respect.

 

Exercise I do all the time huh. None.
I’ll do whatever I feel like. I’m the my pace type.

 

 

Risa-chan!
I’m asking for a consultation but you know, I’m 21 but, I don’t have a boyfriend, and I’m currently not thinking I want one (´Д⊂) It’s not that I don’t think there’s any good people out there though…^^;
Everyday I go to college and do my best toward my dream, on my days off I feely do what I like to, and I like the time I spend with my family and stuff too so, in my current school life 《Boyfriend》 doesn’t come to mind. But, I’m thinking for the future I want to properly get married and have kids too though….
But, my parents and friends are worried about my situation…(;´д`)

 

Risa-chan what do you thinkー??
Just doing my best to head toward my dream, am I not doing good?

 

 

 

I don’t think that’s bad at alllll♪♪♪♪♪

 

I feel like, if you’re thinking about love, and worrying that it’s not that you can’t, then when you find someone you like naturally, it can be a really wonderful thing, and then I think you’ll be fine to be in love♡”

 

 

▪Gakisando you like fresh yuba and cola?

 

 

Ee A lot♡I like it more than anything else.

 

 

 

▪Since last year’s Budokan, I haven’t been able to go see you at all…Even being liek that, can I be called a fan?

 

 

Don’t say things like thaーtー!
If you are supporting me then you’re a fan!!

 

When you can come, please do.

 

 

Thanksー!
