Lets work on blog!project! - ARCHIVED - SEE FIRST POST FOR IMPORTANT INFO AND LINKS

[Hotaru]

^ oh! Yes I can prep for S. Kanon as well. I just read your post wrong at first in my sleepiness. I will start promptly tomorrow!

[momoirosaya]

Yeah I translate Ayumi, and I have already have a prepper.

[OtakebiBoy]

May I translate for Ogata Haruna?
 
I notice PyoKiyo prepped this blog http://ameblo.jp/mm-12ki/entry-12042636672.htmland it's just sitting there in the All Posts. I just want to make sure it's ok before I touch something that I shouldn't mess with

[MejraThea]

OtakebiBoy, Ogata Haruna and Haga Akane are both taken by arcobaleno. The spreadsheet isn't up to date yet. 

[Neminia]

Saya, you forgot to translate one line in this post 
 
And I'll stop prepping Fukuda for the time being, because Lurkette seems to be absent again. I'll continue once she returns!

Whoops! Thanks for catching that!

That's not the point.
 
What I meant was, a lot of the prepped posts are piling up and since I had already read that blog and thought about the words (and it was the first item on the list), I felt guilty about leaving it alone. Some fan could have been waiting to read that blog. The only reason I made my previous post above instead of just translating it without asking was just to make sure I wasn't doing something I'm not supposed to do
 
I see that arcobaleno has already translated that one by now, but in the future, I don't think there is a good reason to just wait like how I did yesterday and this morning
 
Just like how the reader cares about the content and overlooks the emoticons, the translator's name that appears is not so important to the reader
 
Sorry if I'm stepping on anyone's toes! I just felt bad not touching it and I just thought I should ask for permission before I did

[MejraThea]

That is not how we work here. Each translator claims a girl's blog to translate, and they translate their blog. Yes, there are drafts that pile up that need to be worked through, but that is the responsibility of the respective translator, until he or she drops the girl. PyoKiyo prepped that blog yesterday, and Arcobaleno translated the blog today. Arco did not wait a month to translate the post, he waited approximately 24 hours. We all do our best to translate as soon as we can, but sometimes we have other engagements that prevents us from translating the moment something is prepped and/or posted. 
 
No, the name of the translator on the blog does not matter to the readers, but it matters to us. If your prepper were to prep your post, and I were to decide to do it because you were busy for a few hours, would you not be upset? I had taken your work that you enjoy and look forward to doing. This is the same reason why I asked Taylor if I could take over Kudou, rather than just started working on the backlog. It is a matter of principle. This is the reason to wait like you did yesterday and this morning.
 
Of course, if it is an important announcement post or something similar, if you want to ask the translator if you can do it, if they give the a-ok then that's fine! But please do not take something that belongs to someone else without their explicit permission first.

[PyoKiyo]

Hamaura Ayano posted the same picture twice in one post, once in the midle and once at the end. http://ameblo.jp/kobushi-factory/entry-12043890522.html
Is it better to prepp the post the way it was posted or to keep only one picture since they are identic?

[MejraThea]

I would say prep the exact same, and then the translator can put a note that it was a mistake on Hama's part? Since she'll probably mention it in her next blog post that she messed up.

[PyoKiyo]

Alright, thank you.

[michirin]

Does anyone know why this post is looking like this even though I've done the spacing properly?

[shii510]

Click the Text tab to see if the html tags are screwing up the formatting.
 
Edit: When pasting the text from the blog post, they may have <div> </div> html tags which may mess up the formatting. Just delete them all in the Text tab. I did them for you :) You'll have to do the spacing again... I think.
 
Hint - copy all and paste in wordpad and use the find function to remove them to save you time. :)

[michirin]

Thank you very much!!   

[MejraThea]

To avoid copying the HTML from Ameba, first post it into notepad, and then copy it and move it over.

[Hotaru]

Before the tags were up, Reinlite was translating for Yamagishi Riko. They asked me to post them up for them when the tags were completed, however I only have the option to submit them for review. If someone who can accept posts could post these, that would be awesome.

[arcobaleno]

Hotaru, I would like to help out! I checked the dashboard and saw some posts in the Yamagishi category that are pending. I checked, and I have the ability to publish them. Are those explicitly in the category the only ones you mean, or are there possibly more, uncategorized posts from Yamagishi?

[Hotaru]

I went through and submitted quite a few of them, but there are more that I didn't submit. I will go through and tag all of her posts now.
 
Edit: Thanks Arcobaleno!

[yuzuriha]

Hotaru and Xepher:  I finally finished all three of Sayuki's massive Q&As from my backlog, so I expect to finish the rest of my backlog this week.  Please prep daily starting Monday (7/6).  Thanks guys! :)

Hey all, Meroron has been approved as a new translator. She is interested in translating Asakura Kiki and Wada Sakurako.

As usual, I'll let you figure out prepping schedule with her. And I promise I'll get to updating the spreadsheet soon.

[michirin]

Welcome to the team Meroron! You can take Asakura Kiki if you want, I'll leave the posts I haven't translated yet prepped for you, okay? 
 
On a side note, I'm picking up some Kobushis that don't seem to have translators, but if anyone was already planning to translate or wants to please tell me!!

[Meroron]

Hi guys! o/ Glad to join the team!

Thank you! :D I can see the drafts!
 
Looks like there's been multiple people translating WadaSaku, the most recent translated entry is from June 14 and was posted by Saya, should I start with working on the entries that came after that one?
 
EDIT: I'm seeing that the ???? and ???? emoticons aren't included in the Kiki draft I'm translating right now. For future reference, should I always remove them? Do they not display properly on the website? Can they be replaced by similar symbols?

[momoirosaya]

I just did the official announcement of their debut. You can translate the past posts if you wish, or just from now on. It's up to you.

If it's an image hosted by Ameba, they need to be replaced. I'm assuming you aren't a (self-)prepper? You won't need to worry about it if you aren't!  But if you are, it's best to either upload the image to B!P and use it, or find a similar one from here.

[michirin]

They are not images but characters, they just disappear after saving the draft or publishing o.o

[Meroron]

I'm guessing they aren't compatible with wordpress somehow? I'll try replacing them with ★ and ♥ for now, then.

Oh, okay!
I translated the 6/28 entry for the translation sample when applying, so I think I'll start with that and then ones that came after...

[Neminia]

I'm sorry that I didn't prep lately. I will try to catch up next week!

[Meroron]

@ Michirin, I noticed when posting the drafts of the posts you prepped that you're adding the page URL instead of the permalink URL on the posts//
The old posts get bumped down the pages everytime a new post is made so the links start leading to the wrong posts
 
for an instance this post
is linking to here: http://ameblo.jp/tsubaki-factory/theme2-10090188560.html(page 2 of the Asakura Kiki theme, now linking to a different post)
instead of here: http://ameblo.jp/tsubaki-factory/entry-12044300434.html(permalink)
 
I can change the links on the few Kiki entries with the problem, but I thought I should point it out just in case//

[michirin]

Thank you very much Meroron! I didn't notice. I'll link them properly.
 
Do you want me to keep prepping Kiki or are you going to do it yourself?

[Meroron]

You're busier than me, doing more blogs... So I think I'd be fine prepping them... since she doesn't really use any image emoticons, it doesn't take very long
