| A Disastrous Translation | | 2008-07-29 13:52:31 | | I was curious one time to find out how the Yahoo Babel translation works. I scanned over list of languages. I had one language in mind, the Chinese language. Since China has the largest population among countries and it’s showing a huge number of internet savvy. especially among its present generation, I thought then that it’s a good sign of setting my interest on Chinese traffic. I got one Chinese blog and to have a better understanding of the words and images, I sought the help of Yahoo Babel, but to my dismay, I got a disastrous translation.Chinese Grammar Construction After searching about Chinese language, I came to understand that Chinese grammar has a very different grammar construction with that of English. Chinese is considered to be a topic-prominent language where the topic of the sentence takes precedence in the sentence as compare to English which usually follow the normal subject-first word order.

| | Afghanistan: Death penalty call for man who spread Koran translation | | 2008-06-24 10:05:00 | | An Afghan journalist accused of distributing an unacceptable translation of the Koran should be put to death, says former Prime Minister Ahmad Shah Ahmadzai.
Ahmadzai, who ran in the 2004 presidential election against current President Hamid Karzai, told Adnkronos International (AKI) he supported the death penalty for Zalmay. "Today Afghanistan is full of vices. Several Afghan restaurants serve liquor, despite it being illegal and on top of it, such material is distributed," Ahmadzai told AKI. "I am in favour of his death."Muslim scholars in Afghanistan reportedly said that the new version of the Koran misinterpreted verses about alcohol, begging, homosexuality and adultery. They also complained that this version was not accompanied by the original version of the Koran in Arabic.Ghows, 50, is reportedy in jail after being accused of blasphemy and his lawyers say he risks the death penalty. He is expected to face charges in an Afghan court within the next week. | | By: THE NEW BABYLON TIMES | | |

Although the game featured some new ideas such as Enemy point of view camera(namely SightJacking), but it ultimately failed because of bad implementations of those ideas. Well, Sony thought the game deserves another chance, with better graphics, a new American character and perhaps with better working game mechanics(no sightjacking please). Well, with all things said, here is the premiere video of Siren: New Translation.

In this folk song a women who is newly married asks the Bangle seller (Bangle seller used to keep travelling across the land selling his bangles) to visit her parents house and convey the message that she is fine. Bangle seller says he doesn't know where is her parents home or how to get there. The women describes in poetic lines how to get to her parents home. I found that lyrics and translation of this song is not available anywhere on net (atleast I couldn't search it out) so took trouble and writing on my own.

| | How to set your translation rates by using objective information | | 2007-12-29 12:36:06 | | Copyright 2007 by Corinne McKay Setting your translation rates Possibly the most anxiety-provoking aspect of launching your translation business is deciding how much to charge. Charge too much and you'll be priced out of the market; charge too little and you'll be working overtime just to make ends meet. The easiest way to remove the anxiety from this decision is to gather some objective data such as how much money you would like to make, and how much it will cost you to run your business. As we've discussed before, every language combination and specialization has a range of rates; for example, translators of Asian languages into English will almost invariably earn more than translators of European languages. In addition, how much you need to charge depends on your cost of living. An English to Spanish translator living in rural Mexico can afford to work for much less money than his or her colleague who lives in Manhattan.

I receive a lot of inquiries from people who would like to become translators, and most of these e-mails have something to do with finding those first few elusive translation clients. If you ask 100 translators how they got started in the business, you'll probably get at least 50 different answers. Some picked up the phone and started cold-calling, some turned an old business connection into a client, some volunteered, some went back to school, some were just in the right place at the right time. Following are some tips on how to break into the translation industry, depending on your interests and level of experience. As a freelance translator, your two basic categories of clients are translation agencies, companies that serve as a middleman between an end client and various freelance translators, and direct clients, where you work directly for the translation buyer with no middleman involved.

So I posted a video I found there on Neatorama. He thanked me, so I wanted to leave a comment. In German. This is the comment: It was my pleasure! If you link to me, you become a source.
