 Posted: Sat Jan 17, 2009 4:32 pm Post subject: Translator Wanted |
 |
|
Hello T Gaugers, I am seeking a volunteer to help me enhance the T Gauge website. Many of the illustrations feature the original Japanese captions. I'd like to have these translated into English to help our non-Japanese T Gaugers understand the instructions. An example of what I'm talking about is here:
http://www.t-gauge.net/product-2.htm
The illustrations showing the use of the controller, sensors, etc. would be greatly enhanced with English captions. This is what I envision (I have translated the "obvious" stuff):
Anyone willing to contribute?
Thank you in advance!

The missing box is
Switchback mode sensor setting.
A = change direction immediately
B = change after around 5 second.
Will help where I can, but my katakana and hiragana is limited |

Many thanks! I'll take whatever help I might be able to get.

My version of a rough translation:
Switchback Sensor Mode choice switch;
A Mode sensor preference at immediate turnaround;
B Mode sensor preference turnaround after 5 seconds after complete stop.
(Directly translated the sentences would be too long)
If you need some more help, please ask as I study for quite some years Japanese at university and have some knowledge on the language and culture.

The two translations are in reasonable agreement; I've already converted it into colloquial English based on knowledge of the subject.
There are plenty more segments to translate on this page alone...

Thanks once again!
