Carus:

Thanks so much...Yep I was making Chinese tranlations of RWBY on bilibili.tv.

http://www.bilibili.tv/video/av657359/, the first episode has been viewed for more than 450,000 times. Ep 8 has been visited 90,000 times in one day. In baidu.com we also have a RWBY fan forum of more than 24,000 people.

No offense taken. I'm not a native speaker and I realize there are errors in my translation. However the problem is that I have to upload the subtitled video on around 11pm. This work is really time-consuming and as the semester began, I wasn't able to proofread my transcript carefully before I make the subtitles. To make it worse, the admins of bilibili new bangumi section don't allow easy video-replacement.

Oh, and I was working all by myself on all these videos/subtitles. I want to slow down but the eager fans won't allow it...

As of using your transcripts, yes I consulted them when making final changes, in dialogues where I couldn't decipher what the characters were mumbling about...I really want to thank you and I'm sorry I didn't give you credit on my video. But, sorry, 95%+ of the English transcripts are my own work.

I have a sponsor account and usually finish transcribing before public release. Yes I'd be happy to work with Mr. Legilis. Maybe I could send him my rough transcript and let him and you correct it, and in return I hope you could point out the incorrect parts of my transcript. I do want make my subtitles better, but I won't be able to do this as a non-native speaker with a tight deadline and limited menpower.

Not to excuse myself, but I was so tired on Thursday when I made subtitles for a 13.5 min video all by myself. I'll rework on the last video. But did I make so many mistakes?

Here are some of the difference I found between your transcript and mine:

Did you sister just fall from the sky?

you -> your

but if we're going to do this

we're -> we were ? (I'm not positive on this one)

Run and live

I thought "leave" also makes sense here...

Can you

I thought it was "Can't ?" as I didn't hear the "you".

Cardin Winchester/ Carden Winchester

Sorry my transcript might have misled you...I made the same mistake lol. BTW, which one is correct? Carden or Cardin?

Ok, so I did make 4 mistakes. Queen at the castle -> Queen of the castle. Too active->hyperactive, shaping up to the end-> shaping up to be an, missed "I hope you are hungry!" Thanks for your transcript!

Fortunately the first two mistakes don't cause much difference in what they mean, so I didn't mislead those Chinese fans too much...

To summarize:

- No offense taken. Thanks for your comment and transcripts.

- I do want to make my subtitles better, but I can't without any help.

- I want to work with you and Mr.Legilis.

- I'll rework on Players & Pieces.
