help i have such Opinions on translation now

#ok gonna preface this with saying that someone is translating for free and i KNOW that takes so much time and effort and love. and also ther #there are a lot of cultural and contextual footnotes that i really love and wouldn't have been able to figure out myself! #also it seems like the translator's native language is neither chinese NOR english so like. honestly that's really amazing. #so i still really respect what they're doing and am not gonna say anything identifying about this work (it's completely unrelated to tot) #but i've been reading a webnovel fan translation alongside its original chinese version and i guess i'm farther in the 'localization' camp #than i thought. bc this translation leans way too hard into the 'direct translation' of words and phrases and slang #and then with an added footnote explaining what it means. sometimes it's honestly kinda useful from the perspective of wanting to learn the #the language but i don't think it's the right translation choice because there can be several of these per chapter #and the vast majority are not at crucial significant moments when the loss in meaning outweighs the cost of breaking the story flow #and in one instance i saw (the final straw for me) it doesn't even make sense to translate the meaning of the chinese word directly #bc it's not the meaning that matters. the phrase originally came about as a loanword from japanese and a character with a similar pronunciat #pronunciation was used to represent the japanese syllable. #sure this is just one example of an internet slang word that many people might not even know the etymology of and maybe they DO think of the #the meaning of the word now! but still. #i have so many Thoughts now. on how translation is a constant game of balance and sacrifice where the set of 'rules' and expectations change #depending on genre and audience and intention and just individual person! #and -- most relevant to me i guess -- whether it is expected and/or preferrable for fan translations to veer on the side of direct

📖 Glossary of Terms 🔍 - Season 1

As explained in our finale episode, Shannon sure as hell didn't know a lot of the terms/words that G and various guests used. That led to the creation of this glossary.

This is a non-comprehensive list that includes academic deep cuts, colloquialisms, and popular internet fan culture phrases that people who aren’t entrenched in fandom culture may not know. That's in addition to the things Shannon heard while recording and silently went "okay... guess I gotta google that after we're done."

Many of these terms have already appeared in our show notes! That’s always the perfect place to follow along with whatever nonsense we’re talking about in each episode and often includes extra articles/content about many of these concepts. You are also welcome to send us an ask or email asking for definitions or clarification about anything we say!

(your daily learning experience under the cut)

Alternate Universe/AU

An alternate universe (also known as AU, alternative universe, alternative/alternate timeline, alternative/alternate reality) is a setting for a work of fanfiction that departs from the canon of the fictional universe that the fanwork is based on. Example: A fanfiction story about Twilight characters on board the USS Enterprise would be set in an alternate universe and called "an AU." (Fanlore link)

Anachronism

An anachronism (prn. "ah-NAK-rohn-iz-um, not "ANNA-krohn-iz-um" as it is frequently mispronounced by Youtubers who shall remain nameless), is a "chronological inconsistency," a thing belonging or appropriate to a time period other than that in which it appears, especially a thing that is conspicuously old-fashioned. Example: since iPhone 14s and Venmo did not exist in 2005, it would be an anachronism if, in Midnight Sun, Bella pulled out her iPhone 14 and venmoed Edward the cost of her ravioli. (Wikipedia link)

Blocking [a scene]

Blocking is “the precise staging of actors.” Blocking in filmmaking or theatre refers to where actors stand on a set and how they move around over the course of a scene, similar to choreography in dance. (Wikipedia link)

Blorbo

Blorbo is a slang term for a favorite fictional character, usually one that a fan frequently posts and/or makes fanworks about. Example: Alice Cullen is one of Shannon's and G's Blorbos. (Know Your Meme link)

"Bride of death"

As coined by Rae in Episode 12, an allusion to the popular 'Death and the Maiden' imagery, and specifically the subset of tropes common in folklore and fiction in which a bride is murdered by her groom, usually on their wedding night (see also: murder ballads.)

Burying the lede

To bury the lede is to delay sharing the essential information [in a story,] and begin with secondary details instead. Example: Edward would have really buried the lede if he'd told us all the details of how messy Bella's room was before bothering to mention that he had just broken in and was watching her sleep. (Merriam-Webster link)

Canon and Fanon

Canon is anything presented in official works by the creators of something. Example: it is canon that Bella Swan likes books. (Fanlore link)

Fanon is like a "fan canon." Basically fans developing agreed-upon readings or ideas about canon. Example: nowhere in Twilight canon is it stated that Emmett Cullen loves fantasy football, but if enough fans decide they think Emmett loves fantasy football, and start putting it into their fanworks and adopting it into their reading of Emmett, it becomes "fanon" that Emmett Cullen loves fantasy football. (Fanlore link)

Confirmation Bias

The Confirmation bias fallacy is a bias in psychology which refers to how we tend to only seek out and listen to information that confirms the opinion we already hold, and likewise tend to avoid any evidence that might be contradictory to our opinion. Example: Bella Swan, who loves vampires, finds 6 articles about evil bad guy vampires and one article about a good guy vampire. Guess which one she chooses to incorporate into her worldview? (Article link)

[Plot] Contrivance 

A plot contrivance is an overly convenient coincidence or circumstance, "something that causes things to happen in a story in a way that does not seem natural or believable." Usually happens when the author of a literary work forces action in a story rather than letting the events unfold naturally. Example: The gang of attackers happening upon Bella in Port Angeles was a plot contrivance so that Edward could save her.

Decision Fatigue

Decision fatigue is “the idea that after making many decisions, your ability to make more and more decisions over the course of a day becomes worse" (and, as a corollary, less enjoyable.) Example: Writing fanfiction is less likely to result in decision fatigue than writing original fiction, because the writer doesn't have to imagine and build the characters and world from the ground up. (Wikipedia link)

Democratized [fiction]

Democratize: to make (something) available to all people, to make it possible for all people to understand (something.) Example: Fanfiction can be considered "democratized" fiction because it is free and there are often few or no barriers to accessing, reading, and posting it.

Doylist vs Watsonian 

Doylist readings or interpretations look at "the out-of-universe or exegetic commentary, consider the work as a created object, and prefer exegetic explanations with particular attention to the author's intentions." Example: the Doylist reason for why the Cullens moved to Forks is because Stephenie Meyer needed all of her characters to live there for the sake of the story.

Watsonian readings look at "the in-universe or diegetic explanations" and how they "function within the logic of the narrative." Example: the Watsonian reason for why the Cullens moved to Forks is that the Cullens themselves chose a cloudy town and decided to move there. (Fanlore link)

Fandom and Bandom

A fandom is a subculture composed of fans characterized by a feeling of empathy and camaraderie with others who share a common interest. A bandom is a fandom for a particular musician or musical artist. (Fanlore links)

Filk

Filk music is a musical culture, genre, and community tied to science fiction, fantasy, and horror fandom and a type of fan labor. The genre has existed since the early 1950s and been played primarily since the mid-1970s. G appropriates the term to refer to "any musical fanwork." (Wikipedia link)

Flanderization

Flanderization is the process through which a fictional, formerly complex character's essential traits are oversimplified to become their entire personality, or at least exaggerated over other traits, over the course of a serial work. Named after Ned Flanders from The Simpsons, who began as a relatively three-dimensional character and slowly evolved to become a caricature whose entire personality was Christianity. (Wikipedia link)

Fridge Logic/Fridge Explanation

An initially overlooked detail in a story, which, upon further contemplation, is more nonsensical or unrealistic than originally assumed, often to the point of creating a plot hole. Named after the image/idea that such overlooked details might only dawn on a viewer/reader after they have put aside a story and gone to get something out of their fridge. (TV Tropes link)

[The above is different than] Fridging (cw: murder, misogyny)

Character fridging is the use of a secondary or tertiary character as a plot device to motivate a primary character by cause of brutally killing, maiming, or otherwise harming said secondary/tertiary character. Usually discussed in the context of women characters and characters of color who are "fridged" to motivate a white male hero. Named after an old Green Lantern comic in which the hero returns home to find his then-girlfriend murdered and stuffed into a fridge. (TV Tropes link)

“Knocking over liquor stores”

A colloquialism. To "knock [an establishment] over" is to rob it. Has connotations of casual, unsophisticated, small-time robbery rather than an elegantly planned heist.

Lampshading

Hanging a lampshade, (or "Lampshading") is a trick writers use to deal with any element of a story that threatens the audience's willing suspension of disbelief (whether a very implausible plot development or a particularly blatant use of a trope) by calling attention to it and simply moving on. Example: Stephenie Meyer should have had Emmett lampshade the implausibility of Twilight by saying "what are the odds that the one person in the world whose blood tastes irresistibly delicious to Edward would walk into his science class and be assigned as his lab partner?" (Article link)

Non-sequitur

A non-sequitur is a conclusion or statement that does not logically follow from the previous argument or statement. Example: if Edward had said "I'm a vampire who desperately wants to kill you and drink your blood. What's your favorite color?" that second sentence would be a major non-sequitur. (Merriam-Webster link)

Paranoid and Reparative Reading: 

Two terms coined by queer studies scholar Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick to refer to two different methods of reading, understanding, or critiquing something. “Essentially, paranoid reading approaches a work — whether it’s a story, tweet, TV show, photograph, or anything else that can be critiqued — from a defensive position. It anticipates bad actors and maliciousness, seeking out clues for them. Reparative reading, on the other hand, searches for the positive in even a deeply flawed work. It seeks pleasure instead of avoiding pain. It recognizes where the text might benefit some viewers/readers, even if it’s not personally pleasurable.” (Original Kosofsky Sedgwick pdf link, full Book Riot thinkpiece link; CW for discussion of homophobia, transphobia, racism)

Paratext and Epitext:

Paratext: The common elements provided within a book (peritext) and elements outside of the book (epitext) that refer to the book and can affect individual, as well as cultural, perceptions of a text, Example: Twilight's cover, typesetting style, dedication and acknowledgement are part of its paratext. (Wikipedia link)

Epitext: All elements outside the spectrum of the main text of the literary work, but present in a context external to the volume of the main work. Intended for the purpose of aiding, informing or complementing it. Example: Stephenie Meyer's playlists, blog posts, and interviews about Twilight are part of its epitext.

Lampshading

Lampshade Hanging (or, more informally, "Lampshading") is the writers' trick of dealing with any element of the story that threatens the audience's willing suspension of disbelief, whether a very implausible plot development, or a particularly blatant use of a trope, by calling attention to it and simply moving on. (G-provided link)

Non-sequitur

A non-sequitur is a conclusion or statement that does not logically follow from the previous argument or statement. Example: if Edward had said "I'm a vampire who desperately wants to kill you and drink your blood. What's your favorite color?" that second sentence would be a major non-sequitur.

“Playing the end”

A theatrical term for the phenomenon when the actors' knowledge of how a play ends seeps into their performance, making it less realistic because in-universe, their characters should not know how their own story ends. Generally considered a negative thing that should be avoided. Example: the actors playing Romeo and Juliet start bringing "we're going to kill ourselves and die" energy to their giddy first love scenes.

“Sowing your wild oats”

A colloquial expression that means "to have many sexual relationships, particularly when one is young." Often used more generally to mean "partying or living a wild, frivolous lifestyle" than to having sexual encounters specifically. Example: Human Emmett must have really been sowing his wild oats in order for him to believe he had gone to Hell upon awakening as a vampire.

SEO는 스마트 내부 연결과 함께 해당 웹사이트의 카테고리 계층이 URL에 반영되도록 해야 한다. URL은 페이지에 있는 정보의 계층(일반적으로 게임의 맥락에서 비디오 게임에 관련된 역사)을 명확하게 보여준다. 이 정보는 검색 엔진에 의해 주어진 웹 페이지의 관련성을 결정하는 데 사용된다. 계층 구조 때문에, 엔진들은 그 페이지가 일반적인 역사보다는 비디오 게임 역사의 그것과 관련이 있을 것이라고 추측할 수 있다. 이는 비디오 게임 역사와 관련된 검색 결과의 이상적인 후보가 된다. 이 모든 정보는 페이지의 내용을 처리할 필요도 없이 추측할 수 있다. 백링크 시 키워드를 걸게 되는데 이 키워드는 웹사이트의 콘텐츠 SEO 최적화 부분에서 말하는 키워드와 같은 전략을 가지고 시작하는 것이 일관성도 있고 퍼포먼스가 날 수 있습니다. 키워드도 의뢰인이 생각하는 키워드가 기본이겠지만 생각지도 못한 키워드에서 높은 랭킹을 받는 경우를 많이 볼 수 있고 그런 키워드 중에 경쟁이 낮은 키워드가 많이 있습니다. 즉, 퍼포먼스 가능한 키워드 중심으로 먼저 링크빌딩을 해야합니다. 이 부분이 생각보다 매우 중요합니다. 왜냐하면 seo의 장점이 바로 한 개 키워드가 아닌 비즈니스 관련된 총체적인 롱테일 키워드이기 때문이고 앞서 말씀드린 것처럼 고객이 원하시는 키워드는 대부분 경쟁률이 높아 성과를 내기 어렵기 때문입니다. 실제로 키워드 퍼포먼스를 측정해 보시면 이해 할 수 있습니다. 고객이 원한다고 해당 키워드만 백링크를 걸어주는 것보다 백링크를 걸어주면서 키워드를 같이 조절 해야만 성공률이 높습니다. 그리고, 일괄적인 백링크 키워드 보다 여러 사람들이 걸어주는 롱테일 키워드가 검색엔진이 판단하기에도 매우 자연스럽기 때문입니다여기서 대부분의 분들은 백링크만 열심히 걸어주면 무조건 올라간다는 장사꾼들의 말에 현혹되는 분들이 많습니다. 구글/네이버가 그렇게 만만한 상대가 아닙니다. 링크된 백링크도 3개월~6개월 이상 존속해야 효과가 있는데 저가의 저질 백링크는 처음 잠깐 걸어주고 없애기도 해서 효과가 없습니다. 구글은 3~6개월 이상의 백링크에만 가점을 준다고 알려져 있습니다. seo(검색엔진 최적화)의 분류는? 2가지 분류로 구분하면 웹사이트 내외에 따라 온페이지 seo , 오프페이지 seo가 있습니다. 온페이지 seo는 웹사이트 내에 있는 Html요소, Server요소, 핵심&연관키워드를 대상으로 합니다. 오프페이지 seo는 웹사이트 밖에서 활동을 하는 소셜미디어, 타웹사이트 링크 등을 말합니다. 2가지 분류 중 온페이지 seo를 다시 2개로 분류하면 ①테크니컬 seo, ②콘텐츠 seo로 분류할 수 있습니다. 그리고, 오프페이지 seo는 ③링크빌딩seo라고 합니다. 16. HTML DOCTYPE(웹페이지 선언문) doctype은 Document Type의 줄임말입니다. HTML은 버전별로 지원하는 태그의 사용이나 출력에서 미묘한 차이가 발생하기 때문에, 어떤 버전으로 작성되었는지 미리 선언을 하여 “웹브라우저가 내용을 올바르게 표시”할 수 있도록 해줍니다. 선언하지 않을 경우 브라우저가 임의로 지정하게 되어 원치 않은 결과가 발생 할 수도 있습니다. 아래 가장 최근 타입정의를 사용하셔야 합니다. 17. 링크된 웹페이지 참조 금지(NO FOLLOW) No follow속성은 웹페이지 단위로 사용되기도 하고, 웹페이지 내 링크에 대한 크롤링을 하지 말라는 역할로 사용됩니다. 웹페이지 단위로 사용될 경우 해당 웹페이지를 검색엔진에 노출하지 말라고 지시하는 역할로 사용됩니다. 웹페이지 내 링크에 대해 속성을 사용해야 하는 이유는 링크를 통해 연결된 웹페이지의 분석 결과와 웹페이지 분석 결과가 합산되어 검색엔진 사이트 노출 순위에 영향을 미치기 때문입니다. 웹페이지 내 링크에 대해 No follow 속성을 사용하는 경우는 다음과 같습니다. 그리고 이 신뢰도를 측정하는 가장 큰 기준 중 하나가 바로 백링크인 것 입니다. 백링크는 쉽게 말하면 타사이트에서 내 사이트의 페이지로 링크시켜주는 것을 말합니다. 위키피디아의 백링크 정의를 보면 백링크(Backlink) 또는 역링크는 웹 리소스의 경우 웹 리소스를 가리키는 다른 일부 웹사이트로부터의 링크이다. 웹 리소스는 (이를테면) 웹사이트,웹 페이지,웹 디렉터리가 될 수 있다. 백링크를 거는 방법 중 가장 안정적인 구조는 다음과 같이 표현할 수 있습니다. 내 사이트로 직접 들어오는 링크가 양질 일 수도 스팸성일 수도 있다는 것이 문제가 될 수 있기에 안정적인 링크빌딩을 위해서는 전략 상 허브사이트로 클리닝을 하는 것도 좋은 방안입니다. 양질의 백링크를 받기 위해서는 여러가지 전략이 필요하고 양질의 컨텐츠보다도 양질의 백링크가 중요하다고 말할 정도이니 백링크가 매우 중요하다는 것을 알 수 있습니다. 백링크를 걸 때에는 앵커텍스트와 alt 태그가 포함된 이미지를 이용하여 제대로 된 링크를 구성해야만 성공적인 백링크로 인식됩니다. 웹문서에 링크를 생성하는 수준을 넘어, 페이지 또는 프로필 구조로 만든 백링크를 생성해야합니다. 의미있는 결과를 얻기 위해서라면 페이스북, 트위터처럼 한국어 지원 가능한 플랫폼에 생성된 프로필 링크를 구축하는 것이 좋고 구글은 SNS를 매우 좋아합니다. 이때 링크와 글은 오픈그라프 태그와 트위터 태그를 포함하여 제작되며 ‘스키마’ 기준을 엄격 적용하여 ���업해야 성공적으로 백링크가 구축됩니다. 구글 상위노출 작업은 보통 SEO작업이라고 사람들은 부릅니다. 정확히는 검색엔진 최적화라는 작업인데요. 이 작업이 선행되어야 내 사이트 또는 페이지가 특정 키워드로 검색을 했을 때 1페이지까지 도달할 것입니다. 어떤 방법이 있는지 지금부터 알아보도록 하겠습니다. 1. 키워드 타겟팅 구글 상위노출에 있어서 제일 중요한건 어떻게 보면 키워드 타겟팅입니다. 하지만 구글 상위노출을 처음 접하신 분들은 처음부터 내 키워드가 메이저 키워드로 1페이지에 노출되기를 원합니다. 예를 들면 "인스타 팔로워 늘리기"라는 키워드가 메이저 키워드라고 봅시다. 맨처음부터 최적화 작업을 하면 이 키워드로 상위노출이 될까요? 정답은 "아니다" 입니다. 맨처음에는 이렇게 경쟁률 센 키워드 보다는 경쟁률이 낮으면서 고객 유입은 효과적인 롱테일키워드를 중심으로 키워드를 선정하는게 중요합니다. 예를 들어 "인스타 팔로워 늘리기 프로그램"이런식으로 말이지요. 처음부터 메이저 키워드로 작업하면 구글에서 내 사이트를 1페이지에 올려줄 확률은 0%에 가깝습니다. 경쟁이 심각하게 포화된 키워드이고 작업하는 사람은 50명, 100명이 넘는데 새로 홈페이지를 만들었다고 1페이지에 노출시켜준다는 것은 큰 오산이라고 보시면 됩니다. 따라서 우리는 처음에 메이저 키워드보다는 롱테일 키워드를 먼저 공략할 필요가 있습니다. 롱테일 키워드로 1페이지에 들고 유입량이 점점 많아지다보면 메이저 키워드 순위도 자연스럽게 오르게 됩니다. 기존 메이저 키워드에 추가적으로 단어 1-2개가 더 붙는 형식입니다. 이러한 것들은 검색량은 낮지만 그만큼 경쟁률도 낮기 때문에 효과적으로 유입을 늘릴 수 있다는 장점이 있습니다. 1. 사이트 인덱싱 여부 확인 먼저, 사이트가 제대로 인덱싱 되고 있는지를 확인하는 것이 중요합니다. 검색결과에 나타나지 않는 사이트는 키워드 검색을 통한 트래픽 역시 발생하지 않기 때문이죠. 그렇다면 사이트는 어떻게 색인 할 수 있을까요? 구글에서 사이트 검색을 통해 정답을 확인할 수 있습니다. 확인작업:검색하면 사이트의 페이지 수가 표시됩니다. 제품 페이지 및 블로그 게시물과 같은 다양한 페이지를 더 확인해보세요. 서브 도메인의 인덱싱 여부를 확인합니다. 구 버전 사이트를 확인하여 리디렉션 대신 잘못 인덱싱 되었는지 확인합니다. 위 내용을 바탕으로 인덱싱 문제의 원인을 정확하게 파악합니다. 2. robotstxt 로봇 텍스트 SEO에서 중요한 사항 중 하나는 잘못 쓰여진 robotstxt를 확인하는 것입니다. 많은 사람들이 robottxt를 간과하기 때문에, 이를 확인하고 바르게 수정하는 것 만으로 구글의 색인을 원활하게 할 수 있습니다. 이는 사이트 마다 다르며, robottxt를 제출하지 않은 사이트도 있을 수 있습니다. 네이버 의 알고리즘 변화로 구글 뿐만 아니라 네이버 에 대한 SEO(검색엔진최적화) 관심이 많아 지고 있습니다. 백링크구매 다른 나라 와 같이 구글,빙,얀덱스 같은 검색엔진이 시장을 주도해 온 것과 달리 우리는 네이버 나 다음 같은 포털에 기대어 오랫동안 사이트를 운영 해 왔습니다. 그러다 보니 검색엔진에 친화적인 사이트 운영 보다는 네이버 환경에 맞는 광고 위주의 마케팅을 해 왔습니다. SEO를 위해 꼭 필요한 테크니컬 수정에 대한 시간 투자 와 나를 찾는 유저들이 바라는 컨텐츠 생성 및 SEO 에 친화적인 여러 방법들의 노력 없이 마케팅을 해 오다 네이버 알고리즘 변화로 이제는 그런 부분에 대한 노력을 기울여하는 매우 익숙치 않은 상황에 직면해 있습니다. 이런 상황을 타개 하는 방법 중에SEO를 전문적으로 진행하는 업체들과의 협업이 있습니다. 그래서 SEO를 위한 업체 선정에 있어서 중요한 항목들을 정리했습니다. 아래 내용들을 보시고 참고 하시길 바랍니다.

"H1태그는 가장 큰 제목(대주제)"이기 때문에 반드시 적용해야합니다! H1은 1개, H2는 3개까지만 작성하는 것이 키워드 밀도를 제어해서 핵심키워드를 강조하기 때문에 많을 필요가 없습니다. 1. 신뢰 할 수 없는 웹페이지로 연결: 게시판의 사용자 댓글이나 방명록과 같이 삽입된 링크를 신뢰 할수 없는 경우 2. 배너 또는 유료광고: 배너 또는 유료 광고와 같이 웹페이지 콘텐츠와 연관성이 없는 웹페이지로 연결되는 경우 *크롤링: 웹페이지의 컨텐츠를 가져와서 검색엔진의 결과를 보여주기 위한 데이터를 추출해 내는 행위를 말합니다. 보통 일반 웹사이트는 지정할 필요가 없고 커뮤니티 같은 경우에는 댓글이나 후기가 많기 때문에 내 트래픽을 타 사이트로 뺏기지 않기 위해 꼭 필요합니다. 백링크란 누군가가 내 콘텐츠를 공유하거나 또는 사이트의 URL을 타사이트로 공유하여 출처를 남기거나 인용했을 때, 해당 사이트와 내 사이트가 연결되며 알고리즘이 사이트의 관계를 파악하여 구글 E-A-T 개념에 포함되는 신뢰성을 높게 평가할 수 있는 기준이 될 수 있습니다. 백링크 구매의 문제점 백링크를 생성해주는 광고들을 직접 사용해보면 순간의 효과는 보일 수 있으나 명백히 구글의 가이드라인을 위반하게되는 행위이기 때문에 오히려 검색엔진에 패널티를 얻을 수 있으며 과도하게 사용할 경우 검색엔진에서 제외될 수 있습니다. 지금 바로 구글에 "백링크 구축"이라는 키워드를 입력해보면 백링크를 구축해주는 SEO 서비스를 상품으로 판매하는 경우가 많습니다. 올바르지 못한 상품입니다. 현재 구매를 고려하고 있으시다면 추후 발생할 수 있는 문제점에 대해 깊이 고민해보세요 롱테일 키워드 사용 : SEO 를 하는 목적중에는 여러가지가 있겠지만 몇 개의 대표 키워드를 상위에 노출을 하기 위해서 노력하는 것 보다는 많은 롱테일 키워드를 목표로 하여 궁극적으로는 트래픽을 높이는데 그 목적이 가장 크다 할것입니다. 더군다나 영문 같은 경우는 한 단어만 해도 많은 스펠링이 들어가는 경우가 많아 음성 검색이 일반화 되어있습니다. 해서 허밍버드 같은 알고리즘을 구글이 출시를 한거구요.예를 들어, "SEO"라는 키워드보다 "SEO 블로그 '이라는 키워드가, 경쟁도 적고, 검색 상위에 표시되기 쉽습니다. 이러한 롱테일 키워드를 100개 200개 선정하여 트래픽을 높이는데 목표를 갖는게 좋습니다.Google 키워드 제안 도구를 사용하여 검색 수요가 많은 롱테일 키워드를 추출하여 진행을 하면 좋습니다. 내부최적화 관련 - SEO 감점 (-5) 1개의 콘텐츠에 여러 키워드 설정 : 하나의 콘텐츠 내에서 욕심을 내어 여러 키워드를 단번에 최적화하려고하면 모든 키워드가 중요도를 잃어버리게 됩니다. 이렇게 되면 어떤 키워드도 검색 상위에 표시되지 않게되니 주의 하셔야 합니다. 키워드 빈도 초과 : 하나의 콘텐츠에서 키워드 사용률이 10 %를 초과하면 키워드의 과도한 사용으로 판단되어 감점요인으로 작용합니다. 3 ~ 7 %를 기준으로, 인위적인 방법을 사용하시면 안돼구요 ,자연적인 컨텐츠 작성을 통한 풍부한 컨텐츠를 제공하여야 합니다. 3. Noindex 태그 Noindex는 잘못된 robots.txt로봇보다 훨씬 더 치명적일 수 있습니다. Noindex는 태그가 삽입된 모든 페이지를 인덱싱에서 제거하기 때문이죠. 잘못된 robots.txt가 Google인덱스에 있는 경우에는 해당 조건에 맞는 특정 페이지만 인덱싱하지 않습니다. 가장 일반적으로 Noindex는 웹 사이트가 개발 단계에 있을 때 설정됩니다. 많은 웹 개발 프로젝트들이 예정보다 늦어질 때, 마감 시간내에 프로젝트를 끝마치기 위해 실수가 일어날 수 있습니다. 4. URL 정규화 일반 사용자는 홈페이지가 다음과 같이 개별적으로 표시되어도 이를 크게 구분하지 않습니다 하지만 검색 엔진은 이를 엄격하게 구분하여 인식합니다. 그리고 이러한 구성은 링크를 약화시키고 사이트의 상태를 악화시킬 수 있습니다. Google은 일반적으로 어떤 버전을 색인할지를 결정하기 때문에, 여러 버전의 URL이 혼합되어 있다면 검색 로봇에게 혼란을 줄 수 있습니다. 확인작업: 여러 버전의 URL을 검색하여 모든 버전이 동일한 URL로 확인되는지 확인합니다. 또한 URL은 HTTP 및 HTTPS 중 하나만 존재해야 합니다. 여러 종류의 URL이 존재한다면, 301 리디렉션을 설정하여 이 문제를 해결해야 합니다. Google검색에서 site: 검색을 사용하여 실제로 인덱싱되고 있는 페이지를 확인합니다. 3.컨텐츠 제공 및 백링크 에 대한 방식 컨텐츠를 생성하는 작업은 그리 쉽지 않습니다. 그 업종에 수십년을 종사해 왔어도 특정 키워드 에 대한 컨텐츠 생성에 대해 요청을 해도 쉽게 나오는 법은 없습니다. 그런 컨텐츠를 seo 업체에서 만드는 것은 더욱더 어렵습니다. 업종에 대한 정확한 이해가 있어야 하며 키워드에 대한 의미도 정확해야 하기 때문입니다. 그래서 타겟 키워드에 대한 컨텐츠 생성은 쉽지 않은 작업입니다.허나 흰 도화지에 밑 그림이라도 그려서 드리면 보다 완벽한 그림으로 완성을 하기가 쉽습니다. 물론 수정 없이도 하나의 훌륭한 퀄리티 의 컨텐츠 임은 틀림이 없어야 합니다. 백링크 에 대한 부분도 잘 이해 하셔야합니다. 얼마 안돼는 비용으로 한번에 수백개 이상을 해준 다는 업체는 피하셔야 합니다. 이런 링크 들은 구글 에서 BAD LINK 로 취급 될 확률이 높습니다. 아무런 이유 없이 타겟 키워드 의 순위가 떨어지고 , 올라가지 않는다면 십중팔구 구글에서 외부링크 들을 BAD LINK 로 분류 하여 페널티를 주고 있는 경우가 대부분입니다. 이런 일이 생기면 이런 BAD링크들을 전수 조사 후 취합 하여 구글에 링크부인 작업을 하게 되는 경우가 많이 생기게 됩니다. 하지만 이런 작업을 한다고 해서 구글은 쉽게 해제 해 주지 않습니다.몇번의 요청이 있어야만 합니다. 백링크에 대한 부분은 정말 조심 하셔야 합니다.좋지 않은 백링크를 인위적으로 하시는 작업 보다는 아예 백링크 작업을 하지 않는편이 훨씬 더 좋은 방법이란 생각이 SEO 에 는 더 맞는 판단 입니다. 아래와 같이 정확한 앵커텍스트 로 구성된 구글에서 BAD 사이트로 보지 않는 사이트에 정확하게 올려야합니다. 물론 그 전에 SEO 에 대한 전반적인 사이트 수정이 먼저 수행 되어야 합니다

Lauren: Welcome to Lingthusiasm, a podcast that’s enthusiastic about linguistics! I’m Lauren Gawne.

Gretchen: I’m Gretchen McCulloch. Today, we’re getting enthusiastic about the relationship of the translator and the text. But first, we’re heading into Lingthusiasm anniversary month! This is our fourth anniversary of doing Lingthusiasm, and we’re really excited that we’re still doing this four years later.

Lauren: We love a bit of reflection and nostalgia. The month of November is always an opportunity to be grateful that we have another year of Lingthusiasm. We have a whole 12 great main episodes. We have 12 more bonus episodes. As with every year, if you want to share a link to your favourite episode, November is an especially nice time to do it.

Gretchen: There are still people in this world who don’t know that they could be listening to a fun podcast about linguistics that makes them feel like they’re at a linguistics party instead of doing the dishes. You could help people find them. Most people still find podcasts through word of mouth. Every year we’ve done this in November, we see a big spike in people listening to the show and finding the show. If you wanna share on social media, we are very happy to thank you if you tag us in things.

Lauren: If you want to share off social media, please accept our deepest gratitude non-publicly for sharing shows as well.

Gretchen: Or, if you share Lingthusiasm privately and you still wanna be thanked, feel free to tell us about it on social media. We will still give you a little heart thank you comment. Yes, thank you already for all of the support that you’ve given the show over the years.

Lauren: If you like things additional to podcasts, because we are coming up to the holiday season, it’s also a good time to think about some Lingthusiasm merch or a copy of Because Internet. It’s a pretty great book. I like it. It’s available in paperback now. These things make great gifts.

Gretchen: We now also have annual memberships on Patreon. That could make a great gift to gift somebody to listen to more Lingthusiasm episodes as well as access to the Discord for an online linguistics community.

Lauren: Our most recent bonus episode was about honorifics as a way of being polite to someone either through the title you choose or a variety of linguistic strategies.

Gretchen: You get access to the honorifics bonus as well as 43 other bonus episodes and new bonus episodes every month by going to patreon.com/lingthusiasm.

Gretchen: So, Lauren, I’m gonna talk to you about Beowulf.

Lauren: I know this because you have been messaging me for weeks about how we have to talk about Beowulf.

Gretchen: There’s a new translation of Beowulf. I’m really excited. This made me want to build an entire episode around the translator’s relationship to the text because this new translation of Beowulf does a really cool job of it, and I wanna talk about it.

Lauren: I don’t think you’ve been this excited about a translated text since Emily Wilson translated The Odyssey. I’m pretty sure that’s what motivated our 18th episode on word translation.

Gretchen: You are not wrong about this. I think there’s a similar excitement that I have which is old texts – texts that are a thousand-plus years old that have been translated so many different times by so many different people – it feels like it’s hard for someone to do something new with a translation of them. And yet, here people are doing that, which is exciting to me. This is the new translation of Beowulf by Maria Dahvana Headley. She’s done some really cool things with translating Beowulf as a feminist text. It’s a text that uses very modern style language in this thousand-year-old epic poem of Old English literature.

Lauren: I feel like when it comes to translating, before you even translate one single word, there’s all these decisions that a translator has to make. In Episode 18, we looked at translation, but we looked at word-to-word translation. And that’s definitely one part of a translator’s job, but they have so many more decisions to make. It is such an impressive job, and it’s why it’s as much an art form as it is a technical skill to translate something well. So, what are some of the big decisions that Headley made before even starting to translate Beowulf?

Gretchen: One of the things about Beowulf is, as an oral poem, it has this intricate rhyme scheme. The Old English rhyme scheme is based on half lines. Each line has two halves and there needs to be an alliterative bit in one half that is repeated in the second half.

Lauren: So, Old English is way more interested in alliteration compared to our modern English obsession with rhyming. That’s one of the stylistic features you find in Old English.

Gretchen: It’s all about the beginning of the words rather than the ends. Trying to figure out, okay, how much am I gonna use alliteration? How much am I gonna try to represent – because we can do alliteration in modern English – how much am I gonna try to represent the existing rhyme scheme? Where am I gonna try to put it in actual rhymes like you would do in modern English – if you’re writing a poem, you might rhyme it? What am I gonna do with the metre? She’s produced this really oral text that uses a certain amount of modern slang as well in ways that are really effective. One example is there’s a dragon in Beowulf, and the dragon at one point is described as “Putting the world on blast.”

Lauren: Nice.

Gretchen: To some extent, this is modern slang, but it’s also a very literal thing that a dragon can do. It’s not using modern slang for gratuitous – like, there’s no “lols” or “omgs” in this text. It’s not like here’s this facile text-speak version of Beowulf. It’s what are the bits here that actually work with the metre and the rhyme scheme but also not shying away from using a modern idiom where a modern idiom really works.

Lauren: It’s interesting to put this in contrast to the other most famous version of Beowulf in translation that I know of which is Seamus Heaney’s from somewhere in the middle of the 20th Century where I feel like he tried to capture the mythical grandeur of Old English and chose very stoic, solid sounding Old English words. I don’t think he would’ve had the dragon “putting the world on blast.”

Gretchen: Well, I don’t think he would’ve – I think it came out in 1999, this translation. In some ways his translation is fairly vernacular, but he tries to do that in a different sense. Can I read you the first bit of the Headley translation and the Heaney translation?

Lauren: Yeah. This is super fun.

Gretchen: Okay. A big thing about Beowulf translations is the first word which in Old English is “Hwaet.” That has gotten repurposed as a meme, which we’re not gonna get into much detail about. Some people translate that as like, “Lo!” or “Hark!” or “Listen!” or something like this. Heaney translates that as “So,” which has already got a certain level of vernacularity to it. His first three lines go, “So, the Spear-Danes in days gone by and the kings who ruled them had courage and greatness. We have heard of those princes’ heroic campaigns.” This is very stately and like, “Here’s this thing you’re gonna do.” If you compare that with the first three lines of the Headley translation, the new one, she translates this “Hwaet” as “Bro.”

Lauren: Hm, that’s a very different tone.

Gretchen: It’s a very modern tone. I mean, you could pick a whole bunch of very modern things like “Yo” or “Hey all,” but specifically the reason she picks “Bro” is because she wants to highlight the bro culture-ness of this entire story. You can see that in the next couple lines which is, “Bro, tell me we still know how to speak of kings. In the old days, everyone knew what men were – brave, bold, glory bound. Only stories now, but all sound the Spear-Dane song, hoarded for hungry times.” It just leaps off the page in a way that really excites me.

Lauren: Yeah, no “princes” there.

Gretchen: Right. “Kings who ruled had courage and greatness” – “The men were bold.”

Lauren: The thing I always love about Beowulf is that it’s a millennium-old oral poem that happened to be written down, and a millennium ago people were like, “Let me tell you about the olden days.” [Laughter]

Gretchen: Right, it still takes place in this semi-mythic space, and it uses a certain stylised language that we even think was stylised at the time. You’re always picking between some kind of stylisation. There’s no neutral choice that exists. All of the choices are recreations at some level.

Lauren: I mean, it is kind of weird to think you’re translating from English into English, but it just shows how much the language has moved on because reading Beowulf if you don’t know Old English is an incredibly uncomfortable attempt to just guess some words that have retained some familiarity. I always find it interesting that you have to translate. And then because English went through enough changes by Shakespeare, we kind of put up with all of the features of Shakespeare that aren’t immediately obvious to us.

Gretchen: Right. But Beowulf is really this alien text. Like, “Hwaet. We Gardena” – and “Gardena” is “Spear-Danes,” but we don’t have “Spear-Danes,” and “Gardena” is not obviously related to those. There’s this great miniseries from The History of English Podcast that does a very in-depth line-by-line reading of Beowulf which I enjoyed a while back.

Lauren: My one semantic anecdote from that series is “Gar-Danes” as in “Spear-Danes” – garlic is the “spear-leek.”

Gretchen: Yes, it is!

Lauren: Because it’s like a little spear.

Gretchen: It’s like a little spear-leek. I love that anecdote. It’s interesting to be reading Beowulf at the same time that my book club is actually reading The Tale of Genji.

Lauren: Ah, from like a similar – Genji’s also a millennium old, yeah?

Gretchen: Yeah! In some sense it’s like Beowulf and Genji are kind of contemporaries.

Lauren: But they’re very much not contemporaries. Beowulf is about warrior bro culture in the Old English setting, whereas Genji is a Japanese court drama.

Gretchen: I don’t think they would’ve gotten along. I think they would’ve just found each other completely incomprehensible. Genji’s also one of those classic texts that’s been translated a whole bunch of different times in a whole bunch of different ways. For one thing, you’re translating from a much older version of Japanese. There are modern Japanese translations of The Tale of Genji as well. And then you’re also translating into a different cultural context. But the cultural context for Beowulf is also very weird. Like, I don’t do going and fighting monsters under lakes any more than I do writing haikus about the moon. In fact, I’m probably more likely to write a haiku about the moon than I am to go fight a monster under a lake if we wanna talk about relatability.

Lauren: Everything I know about Genji is because one of my colleagues in the Languages Department at La Trobe is a Genji studies scholar. It’s one of those pieces of work that is so big and so canonical that it has its own literary studies tradition associated with it. I also really love my colleague because the other part of her expertise is cosplay studies. I think it’s such a great combination of Japanese cultural experience there – Genji and cosplay.

Gretchen: I mean, what more do you want? The neat thing about reading Tale of Genji at the moment is because I’m reading it as part of a book club through Argo Bookshop – which is a bookstore that did the book launch party for Because Internet and I really like them – they’re having this Tale of Genji book club, and we’ve been reading it throughout the year a few chapters at a time because it’s over 1,000 pages. It’s huge. So, we’ve been reading it section by section, and different members of the book club have picked different translations into English of the same work.

Lauren: Ah, cool! Are there radical differences between the translations? Or do they all try and go for a literal approach?

Gretchen: They’re really different. One of the big things with Genji is at the time in 11th Century Japan it was considered very rude in the court to refer to people by their actual names. None of the characters in the original Tale of Genji manuscript have names, except for maybe Genji. So, you can imagine reading a thousand-page book where none of the characters have names is a bit of a feat of the imagination.

Lauren: Yes.

Gretchen: Different translations – and a lot of them have conventional names that literary scholars have used to talk about the characters. For example, Lady Fujitsubo lives in the Fujitsubo, which is the western pavilion, and so she gets called in the tradition “Fujitsubo” because that’s where she lives, and this kind of stuff. Or Murasaki gets called that after a flower, I think, the character. In some translations, they just use these conventional use names as if they’re the actual names of the characters. In some translations, they just use descriptions like the original text did, and they don’t really refer to characters by even pretend names or use names.

Lauren: So, one of them is trying to strive for cultural authenticity, and the other one is trying to just help the poor confused reader a little bit more, and that’s choices that each translator has decided to make.

Gretchen: Exactly. You also have other types of decisions like, “Are you going to try to” – because it’s a court drama, you have all these court positions. Are you going try to map those positions onto a western court so that people understand what a chancellor is? Or are you going to try to use those as a more direct translation of what the specific terms were at the time? That’s just different decisions that different translations can use.

Lauren: When you meet as a book club, is everyone following along, or is there a lot of clarifying across translations? Such an interesting little exercise.

Gretchen: Well, the nice thing is, is the division into different chapters is very constant, so we can be like, “Okay, we’re reading Chapters 6 to 10 now. We’re gonna talk about what happens in those.” But sometimes you do pull something up, and you’re like, “Okay, so this bit where this thing was said, do we think Genji is kinda misogynistic here?” And somebody will say, “Well, in my translation, it doesn’t actually seem like he’s misogynistic.” And here’s what’s going on in this particular translation versus that particular translation. And how much of it is the translator bringing their own preconceived notions of how people relate to each other? Because some of these translations are from the 1920s or something. People may have had different politics there. And how much of that is in the original text which was composed by a woman who we don’t know that much about? But it’s the first modern novel. It’s an interesting like, “How much are you going to try to westernise this book for a western audience?” Which some of the older translations do a bit more with the westernisation adaptation because people in the west hadn’t heard of Genji very much before. You do all this adaptation for your English-speaking readers. Whereas, more recent translators, people tend to have a higher degree of expectations of fidelity when it comes to a more modern translation. Sometimes they try to do that. And, you know, how many footnotes do you have? How much do you try to explain additionally? How much do you try to just make the text stand on its own as a story?

Lauren: So many choices to make as a translator. I’m eternally grateful to people who do this and make it appear so effortless while doing so much work bringing all of this context together.

Gretchen: It’s really neat. I’m not gonna read this 1,000-page book five different times in five different translations, but being able to experience portions of those translations vicariously through other people talking about, “Oh, here’s what happened in this one, here’s what happened in this one,” it does let you do this interesting comparative textual study.

Lauren: I’ve been thinking about translation in practice a lot lately because having worked with P. M. Freestone on their Shadowscent books, “The Darkets Bloom” and “Crown of Smoke,” these books have gone into translation in a whole bunch of languages, mostly European languages to date – Spanish, German, French, Russian, and Polish. I’m very excited about the upcoming Hungarian translation which will the first outside of the Indo-European language. But these translations involve a couple of things that are really interesting in that, in these books, I worked on creating the Aramteskan language, and for this language to work across different languages, sometimes it gets technically transliterated, or you need to add a different type of plural. For example, Russian has a different alphabet to English and so you need to fit this language into the Russian Cyrillic alphabet.

Gretchen: You’re not trying to pretend that Aramteskan is always written with the Latin alphabet. Even when the book itself is in Russian, you’re like, we’re gonna transliterate it into Cyrillic?

Lauren: No, translators have very much done what they think is most appropriate. I have a habit of buying these translations now and checking out what they’ve done because they’re not just translating from English into another language, they also have to translate this completely fictional language and this fictional world into that language as well. It’s one thing to maybe study in-depth Old English warrior culture or Japanese court culture and decide what to bring across, but with a fantasy world, there’s all kinds of choices you have to make as a translator as well.

Gretchen: Yeah, like what are you gonna do with the magic system? Or if you’ve invented all of these words for different scents or something, then they have to figure out some sort of equivalent of inventing those words for the other language.

Lauren: There’s a lot of scent vocabulary even in the English that P. M. Freestone has written in, so really taxing that part of the translator’s repertoire. One thing that’s been particularly interesting and that there’s been some discussion on how to manage is that in this world, both in the historical part of the world and the contemporary part of the world, the culture and the grammar allow for gender neutral third person like the English modern use of “they,” which Kirby Conrod gave a great interview about how that works in contemporary English. In fact, I did a little historical evolution of the pronoun system that fits with the story of the world where originally there was no gender distinction in the pronoun system, which fits with the old religious system of the world. And the religious system evolved younger gods that are all gendered, and the pronoun system evolved genders at the same time while still having that scope for gender neutral. Without spoiling too much, but a character that pops up in Book One and is much more a part of Book Two is gender fluid within the world. That works for current English because we have gender neutral singular they, but there are some languages like Czech or like Russian that the book’s being translated into where there isn’t that flexibility in the linguistic system. So, decisions have to be made about how that is negotiated in the translation.

Gretchen: Do you know what they did?

Lauren: I don’t know what they did for Russian yet, but I believe the solution in Czech is at various times this character is overtly identified using masculine and at other times using feminine – being much more flexible about the duality of their relationship with gender.

Gretchen: This reminds me of a thing that I heard Ada Palmer talk about at a conference panel with her book “Too Like the Lightning” and the sequels, which are set in this far future of English – well, far future and they’re written in English – in which singular they is used for everybody except when you’re writing in this faux-archaic style with “thous” and “thees” and “hes” and “shes.” It’s very marked at that point. Ada Palmer was talking about how this was translated into French where in modern English the progressive thing that people do is like, “Oh, we can use singular they. That’s very progressive.” In modern French, the progressive thing that people do is they make feminine versions of all of the professions.

Lauren: Right.

Gretchen: You have feminine versions of “professor” or “doctor” or these kinds of things to try and make the gender more visible. And so erase the gender in the French version wouldn’t have the same effect – where you’d end up using the default masculine or something in the French version – it wouldn’t have the same effect as using singular they all the time in the English version. There are modern French pronouns like “iel” that have been coined to solve this problem of using a gender neutral third person pronoun, but it wouldn’t work to use them in this particular case because the style is supposed to be faux-archaic. What the translator ended up doing was digging out this French pronoun “on,” which in the modern form “on” is used like “we” or like “one does this.” It’s related to like, “One does this.” There’s an older usage of “on” which is like a non-specific third person pronoun as well that – I speak French, but I didn’t know about this archaic form. And the translator went and looked for what other historic pronoun things could I do and ended up doing with “on” thing, which is a really interesting adaptation.

Lauren: The thing I find interesting is if you were – 50 years ago, you didn’t have the grammatical resources in English to use singular they for a specific person. It’s something that’s really only emerged in the last couple of decades. I think the translator has felt frustrated to not have – you know, you sometimes feel like you’ve got this road block because you don’t have resources in one language that you have in another and you have to innovate. I did have a colleague in Italian studies tell me that they read a whole novel once where the gender of one of the characters was deliberately written around and avoided in a way that was an incredibly artful, thoughtful translation. It is possible that you could maybe do this with this character in the Shadowscent books, but it would be such –

Gretchen: But you couldn’t do it with the whole world in the Terra Ignota books because all of the characters would have to have that.

Lauren: Yeah. And you could do that amount of heavy lifting at the cost of some other things, but when you’re doing an efficient translation for a commercial novel, you don’t have the resources to really max out your art and strategy in that way. It’s interesting that, you know, translation is a really resource-intensive activity even to just do a good translation, let alone an incredibly strategic and thoughtful translation.

Gretchen: Even translating one word, like that word at the beginning of Beowulf, involves thinking about, “Okay, what kind of relationship do I want this word to have to the rest of the text? What am I trying to set up here in relationship to the whole text? Where do I see this attention-getting word as going?” Like, what the text as a whole is doing, which is this interesting question. I should say, speaking of translation news, this is very hot off the presses, but I have received news that there are gonna be translations of Because Internet into Persian, Chinese, and Japanese. So, all – well, Persian is an Indo-European language, but it has a different writing system, and then two non-Indo-European languages. I don’t know anything else about the details yet.

Lauren: This is news that I didn’t even know. This is very exciting.

Gretchen: It’s very recent, yes. It’s not – I dunno. I will have official links when they exist. They won’t exist for, I dunno, probably a couple years. I dunno how long it’ll take them to do. I know nothing.

Gretchen: The surreal thing about translation means that you will see you work and not be able to read it. There’s something so amazing and magical about that, that words you have created are finding new audiences – you know, there’s a lot of trust in the translator in those contexts.

Gretchen: Yeah, and I don’t know if I’m gonna get to have any say in who they get to translate it and how much they know about the internet or things like that.

Lauren: Translating non-fiction is an entirely different process because you’re not translating an internal narrative world as much as you are potentially translating something that explains how this world that we live in right now exists, or how a set of historical realities existed. That also takes deftness and skill.

Gretchen: And you’re potentially trying to translate technical vocabulary between one language or another, which isn’t necessarily the same as, “Okay, we need to keep the characters’ names consistent. It’s like, “We need to use this word that has a technical meaning in its technical sense.” Speaking of non-fiction translation, I dunno if you’ve been following in translation news relatively recently, there’s been a lot of things going on with the Scots language Wikipedia.

Lauren: Yes, I did read about this. So, Scots language is a language in the same family as English. It has a lot of similarities with English but is considered its own “variety,” using that very deliberate linguist term where you don’t commit to just how much it’s a dialect or its mutual intelligibility with other varieties that its related to. And it has its own Wikipedia.

Gretchen: Scots is kind of like, as an English speaker, I’ve always been kind of jealous of people who speak Dutch or German or something because they can kind of understand each other a bit. Or Spanish and Portuguese and Italian because they can kind of approximate understanding each other to some extent even if they haven’t formally learned the languages. I’ve always been like, “Why doesn’t English have some closer neighbours?” But I hadn’t been thinking about Scots when I was thinking that. Scots is probably English’s closest neighbour but is still a distinct language and, especially, there are grammatical differences and there are a lot of political reasons as well why people consider it its own language. However, [laughs] the Scots language Wikipedia, which has all of these articles written in Scots, had apparently been being edited for the last seven years by an American teenager who didn’t know any Scots and was just looking up the English articles in a Scots-English dictionary word-by-word and just picking the first word of the translation and subbing that in for the Scots word.

Lauren: This has been such a difficult story to read because everyone throughout this process has acted in the best faith. This teenager wasn’t doing this for any reason other than a passion for sharing knowledge on Wikipedia and a passion for seeing the Scots Wikipedia grow but with a really uncritical approach to translation. You can see where translation really does require this understanding of vocabulary choice and style choice and how it can all go really, really wrong.

Gretchen: Yeah, it’s really painful because this person started when they were, like, 12, and we have all believed very foolish things about the world when we were 12. It’s just many of us didn’t write thousands of Wikipedia articles in a language that is just really not the way anybody who actually speaks this language actually writes because it’s cobbled together badly from a dictionary. It’s this very painful, “Oh, no! You thought you were helping.” And yet Wikipedia is used as the basis of a lot of machine translation, and language detection, various natural language processing tools, and so this has been potentially sabotaging the efforts to try to create other machine tools in Scots because they’ve all been in this weird dictionary-a-fied version of English.

Lauren: It’s been really heartening to see the Scots language community and the Scottish Wikipedia community come together to figure out a strategy for how to approach cleaning house – I guess it’s the biggest spring clean ever, right – how to approach this, like, thousands and thousands of articles with this very strange approach to translation.

Gretchen: It illuminates one of the issues with smaller language Wikipedias in general which is that they may only have a few active editors because to be a Wikipedia editor is to be a volunteer. It takes a long time to translate things or to write articles. If you’re a language like English, you can have tens of thousands of editors. But if you’re a language like Scots which has many fewer speakers, you may only have a dozen active editors of which maybe one of them is a well-meaning but very clueless American teenager.

Lauren: We’ve both done lots of Wikipedia editing. We have run LingWiki events to improve linguistics content on Wikipedia. It’s challenging enough to write these articles in one language that I am proficient in. I’m always in awe of people who choose to translate and support content in their second or third languages because it is a non-trivial task to translate really complicated information in a way that is really clear.

Gretchen: Translation is a technical task that is one of those things that looks at all of the different levels of language where you have some things at the individual word, or even sound, or if you’re trying to translate poetry and you wanna make it beautiful in a very aesthetic sense with the physical properties of language, all the way up to words and sentences and structure and these discourse-y particles like “Hwaet” at the beginning where you’re trying to picture a whole framing device for the structure of an entire tone of a narrative. Or if you’re trying to pick, “Okay, how are we going to treat technical vocabulary that maybe has been borrowed from English?” because its scientific vocabulary that was invented from English, how are you gonna treat that when it gets borrowed into Scots? Trying to figure out how to make these technical decisions is non-trivial. It’s this very interesting train wreck. It can go spectacularly right when you have this very clever decision for a dragon to put the world on blast, and it can also go spectacularly wrong when you just say, “Okay, I’m gonna look through a dictionary and then pick the first word I encounter.”

Lauren: One of the great things about appreciating a good translation is that language never takes a break. Culture continues to change, and we move further away from the era of Beowulf. We move into new cultural settings and new cultural expectations. It means that there is space for new translations that bring new approaches, or try something different, or aim for really capturing something about the language of the era it was created in, or set an old story in a radically new setting. Even when you find a really satisfying translation, you know there’s still possibilities for finding other interesting ways to engage with the text.

Gretchen: I think that’s a thing that’s exciting about both the translations of these thousand-year-old texts, whether Beowulf or Tale of Genji, where they go through lots of different authors who put their own spin on the translation. And also thinking of Wikipedia as a place for translation where you have multiple authors working together on the same shared text, and a bunch of different people – like Scots Wikipedia has been having these Wikipedia edit-a-thons to try to clean the place up. You have a whole bunch of contributors that are finding out about this need because of this story and coming in and working on the text together and contributing to the shared text. In many ways, even though each of these editions of the translations are published as their own book for book-length ones, it’s this very intimate relationship that you can have with a text when you’re trying to render it in a different language or in a different textual interpretation.

Cultural Appropriation among East Asian Popular Culture

*I am aware that amidst the rise of AAPI hate crimes, this is a very sensitive time to be talking about this. However, I think it is very important for East Asians (in my case, a Chinese immigrant living in the States) to address our own ignorance and avoidance on this issue in order to have solidarity with other BIPOC communities. My emphasis is on the media portrayal of cultural appropriation and how that could be potentially damaging, I do not intend to imply that cultural appropriation is prominent among all East Asians.*

If you are a frequent consumer of East Asian pop culture, you would be lying to say you haven’t seen an idol or a celebrity wearing dreads on camera. Sometimes they do so to create a streetwear look, sometimes they do so to deliberately play a character. We also tend to turn a blind eye to the countless bad rapping performances and the occasional half-joking bits about tribal, native cultures. As of now, many fans tend to defend their favs by calling these instances as acts of negligence, that none of these celebrities had an intent to harm; but how much longer, and farther, should we tolerate cultural appropriation in East Asian pop culture?

East Asian popular culture has become part of the global mainstream in recent years. With the help of social media and the supplemental supports from local governments (think South Korea), today’s cultural flow go in both directions: while Asian pop culture is often inspired by Western elements, East Asian media production is now the new leading force of culture.

One “neutral” definition of cultural appropriation could be summarized as the representation of cultural practices or experiences and the distinctive artistic styles of the particular culture used by nonmembers. However, misrepresentation, misunderstanding and manipulation of culture is frequent and damaging to many marginalized, underrepresented groups.

Appropriating Hip-hop

Even though there is a “neutral” definition of cultural appropriation, there is no neutral way to appropriate a culture. The moment you partake in a cultural practice that is not your own, you are marking it with your own social marker. Just to give an example, the rise of Gangsta Rap was in response to the mass incarceration of Black people during the War on Drugs era. The history of rap and hip-hop, as a whole, is tightly connected to Black lives in America.

So why is Asian rap so filled with flexing culture? The answer is simple. The rise of hip hop and rap in the East Asian music scene is a simple copy-and-paste of the Western pop chart. Hip-hop has become the best selling genre, yet it’s important to note that today’s hip-hop has taken a detour away from its root. Hip-hop and rap has been rendered with pop sounds, often rendered with the voices of white performers as well.

The idol factories in both South Korea and China had picked up the trend. Hip-hop and rap is what gets the cash, so that’s where the executives want to take their trainees. Shows like The Rap of China(这就是说唱), Rap for Youth(说唱新时代), received enormous popularity in the last few years among young Chinese people. While the popularization of these shows can help nurture more diversifying music tastes beyond the typical Chinese pop music, they portray rap and hip hop in a highly inaccurate fashion. The flows and forms featured in performances felt unilateral, often with a strong emphasis on flexin’ solely for the sake of flexin’. In addition, in no way did any of these shows serve to educate music lovers on the history and background of hip hop and rap.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hIJnBh7Dv8

P.s. this video features Rich Brian, I think it goes without saying that he’s probably not the best person to be educating Chinese youth on rapping.

Appropriating Black Hairstyles

Some contestants of these hip-hop shows also wore appropriated versions of Black hairstyles, and it wouldn’t be far fetched for me to say that the increased popularity of dreads among Kpop idols had kicked off this trend. Some of these celebrities are people who I have immense respects for, such as Jackson Wang. As the Chinese member of the Kpop boy group GOT7, he was the only Chinese celebrity (that I’m aware of) who spoke up for the BLM protests openly on his social media (I should note that he received quite a lot of backlashes for “defending violence”). But he—as I found out—refused to apologize when being criticized for wearing dreads back in 2016. He was called out in 2016 for wearing dreadlocks in a Pepsi commercial. He claimed that he did not intend to be racist. However, his fans questioned his response, as his defense did not acknowledge the history of dreadlocks.

More recently, BTS’s J-Hope was also called out for his hairstyle in his first solo single, “Chicken Noodle Soup.” Not only was his hair called out to be tiptoeing the line of cultural appropriation, it also felt odd that he only switched to the dreadlock-looking hairstyle during the nighttime break-dancing scene in the music video. While this might not have any further implications intended by the artist himself, this is an example of how infiltrating the unprofessional, gang-affiliated stereotypes surrounding dreadlocks could be.

Part of me thinks they are doing this to please white people, I could easily be right. White people are interested in hip-hop but can’t go as far as getting interested in Black culture? Sure, we Asians will provide. I sound harsh but that’s truly how I see the logic behind Asian pop stars appropriating Black culture. It’s true that many from the K-pop industry do not have full authority to their own identity, but I simply do not get the extent of appropriation employed in the K-pop scene—and this sabotaging trend is spreading in a scary rate to both Japan and China.

Reality TV in China features mostly celebrities, but I assume the goal of the government (for producing all these shows) is to achieve some sort of relatability through portraying famous people doing normal things. Again, just like how Western culture and East Asian culture influence each other, creating a feedback loop, an echo chamber of what’s socially acceptable and what’s not, famous people and normal people alike are all capable of influencing the social norms of Asia. We in America indulge in drama, the unethical wrongdoings of distant rich people. It’s not like that in Asia. People look up to celebrities. So if someone in Blackpink decided to wear braids in their newest music video, you’re bound to see kids trying to do the same.

Internalized Colorism

Sure, one can argue that it’s all negligence and ignorance, but we can not pretend the acts of cultural appropriation are not a result of internalized colorism. Blatant racism is less likely to occur in East Asian societies since they tend to have a less diverse ethnic makeup, but internalized colorism has always been an underlying problem in East Asia. Take China as an example, being “light skin” (though the direct translation of the Chinese word “白” is equivalent to “white,” the phrase is usually perceived as “light skin”) is generally viewed as elegant, pretty, or decent. Phrases such as “yellow skin,” “black skin” have risen to popularity in recent years as internet slangs used by online participants to criticize celebrities or themselves. People strive to be as “white” as possible by setting a societal expectation for public figures to follow, creating this social discourse chamber that deems the white skintone to be superior.

Even more recently, the phrase “非酋” (direct translation: “African tribe leader”) is used as a metaphor for people who tend to have very bad luck and never get what they wish for. From the perspective of an outsider, not only is this phrase obviously racist, it is also more dangerous in the sense that the metaphor entails a long line of other language-specific words that imply racially-charged stereotypes that could not be easily understood by non-Chinese. The phrase itself, however, is often used lightly by gamers--since this is actually an official phrase that ties to certain characters in certain games--and other young internet users to ironically joke about themselves without really considering the racist undertones of the phrase. Therefore, while using the phrase itself does not necessarily make one racist, it certainly reveals ignorance of the Chinese society on the issue of race.

Online Community, Bullet Comments and Echo Chamber

A single character in Japanese/Chinese tends to carry a lot more information than a single letter. As a result, there could easily be more combinations of words with the same characters in comparison to the alphabet for Roman languages. With the rise of fan-fueled, fan-made, fan-moderated video/social platforms like Bilibili (Chinese) and Niconico (Japanese), internet slangs are becoming increasingly niche. However, “niche” is defined against the traditional sense here. Slangs are only “niche” in the sense that the context is only known to a very specific audience, perhaps a fandom of a game or a show, but this audience itself could be enormous--certainly in the case of China. In these separate but internally united communities, people communicate in slangs that are culturally specific among themselves. How, you may ask? Through the persistence and permanence of bullet comments.

Up till this point, bullet comments are popular only and specifically to Japanese and Chinese cultures, again, a likely result of the linguistic natures of the languages. The chaotic, seemingly-never ending feature of bullet comments is an easy tool to nurture a sense of tight-knitted community for young internet users. Teens no longer need to worry about parents’ attempts to understand youth culture--most adults literally can not bear with the overwhelming screen of repetitive slangs. Bullet comments granted a new sense of freedom that previous generations of Japanese and Chinese youth did not experience.

However, it also means that bullet comments could create the perfect scenario for a social echo chamber. It’s hard for outsiders to penetrate the existing banters among a community that talks in their own lingos, and it also encourages the repetitiveness of the same idea, same belief. But this is not a characteristic specific to bullet comments or online communities in East Asia, this is a characteristic common among many East Asian cultures. In comparison to Western cultures, East Asians are way more comfortable, even dependent on group mentality and general consensus. Relatability is often prioritized over individuality on the internet scape, which on its own isn’t necessarily an issue; but this nature of East Asian online community certainly makes it a particularly weak target to colorist beliefs and culturally-insensitive content.

The reliant tendency on echo chamber and group mentality of East Asian communities makes them vulnerable targets of certain Western influences, including cultural appropriation and internalized colorism. In the case of China, its government literally banks on unity among its citizens to establish more extensive social control in order to rule. In both Korea and Japan, unity and group mentality are strongly encouraged and embraced as well. Ultimately, while the problem of cultural appropriation is becoming increasingly worrying among pop culture in East Asia, this is a foreign concept and problem for East Asians who might be helping the spread of cultural appropriation. Regardless, education on the subject matter is necessary and we need to start addressing the problem now.

Batfam moments I think about a lot and wish we'd have more stories of...

1. Bruce Wayne learning how to "dad" and making SO MANY MISTAKES. But we see him evolve over the years, and slowly getting used to it. He will always have communication problems, and have moments when he's a total jerk. Let's not forget he's only human, and we all have bad moments. Buuuuut, he’s the kind of father to go make a detour to buy his kids their favorite dinner (and yes, all of them, like before he comes home to Wayne Manor, I can see him go to différent take aways and bring back their favorite food haha). 

Or like, remembering exactly what they’re into lately and looking stuffs up on the internet to get up to date. I bet sometimes they’d talk about a band or video games and Bruce would be like : “Oh yes, I particularly like the battle mode of this blahblahblah” and they’d all be stunned haha.  I think he has a special way of loving. It’s not always obvious, out there right in your face, but it’s most definitely there. 

His children are his strength (as shown in many stories... In more stories in fact, that the ones that exists where he's a total dick to them). And he cares for them in his own way, which can sometimes appear cold and such, while it's just that he doesn't always know how to react. Like. We have to remember his background, it's not really surprising he has communication problems and such things. But he cares... So much. 

He's thé kind of dad that goes out of his way to please his kids, even if said kids don't even notice the small things he does for them because ya know, hé just does it and they're used to it and it's only as they grow up they truly realize how out of his way he went for them etc etc. À discreet , pure and différent way of loving. He knows them, hé truly does. “You don’t even know me !” one of them would say after a fight, out of anger, and he would answer : “I do.” confidently, and they’d be like : “PROVE IT THEN !” and Bruce would enumerates everything he can think of about them. Favorite color, favorite meal, favorite book, favorite tv show, hobbies, crushes, fears etc etc...Anyway. Yes. 

I just want scenes of him slowly learning how to be a father, and not being the best about it all the time, yet trying his best and it’s obvious he does. We forget sometimes what he went through, and what it truly means for him to adopt and take care of those kids. We forget often that he became Batman, mainly because he does not want any other kid to experience what he went through. Bruce as à father is far from perfect, and hé makes shit tons of mistakes, but he tries, and hé loves them deeply. I think that's why I really hate canon lately, they turned him into à mindless brute who genuinely abusés his kids. It's so, so, so bad, and goes against decades of stories. It's written by people that think "edgy" is à personality trait and what people nowadays love (which is totally false). I'm pretty sûre that for all the canon examples of him being à jerk to the Batkids, I can pull out about ten times more examples of him being à good dad. Again. He's flawed because he's human, and he's difficult to understand at times... But no one will ever make me believe he doesn't love his children with all his heart.

2. Young Jason being super surprised that Bruce is actually a very good cook because he always pictured filthy rich people never doing anything themselves...and Bruce being like : “You know, I was mostly raised by Alfred. Of course he would teach me basic house skills.” while flipping expertly the food in the pan. Alfred one day telling the kids something like : “Everyone always think Master Wayne is a bubbly idiot who cannot work his way around a house, but this is very wrong. He has been changing his own sheets ever since he was 7, and his parents already made sure that he would know what house work is, so he could treat the servants right by seeing how difficult it can be. When his parents died, I took care of him, and there was a long moment he would follow me around everywhere, maybe in fear that I would go, too...During those moments, I taught him a lot.” And then just Bruce showing à few things to his own kids, as à parallèlism to how him and Alfred were (and still are) ❤️.

3. A direct follow up of the one above, Bruce teaching his kids all kind of stuffs. How to play piano, how to fall without hurting yourself, how to cook, how to fight, how to ride a bike for those who didn’t know etc etc...A perfect mix of totally normal domestic stuffs, and of night vigilante stuffs. I bet he’d make up “escape games” for his kids on boring Sunday afternoons, because it’d develop a lot of their skills needed to be Robins (or whoever) AND is fun. I think the reverse totally works too, the kids teaching him things. Like, how to play that video game, how to use slang without sounding like an old man, how to paint his nails, blahblahblah. Just moments together, because they spend so much time with each others like, come on. They have hobbies too. And care about each others enough to want to know about it, and share stuffs etc etc. Growing together, ya know ?

4. More crossover moments with the entire family, not just one or two character : John Constantine being there to ask help for a thing (or not asking help but Bruce wouldn’t let anyone “tamper” with Gotham without him being there so...haha). Zatanna coming around to teach the kids some magic (just like her dad did with Bruce...not “real” magic but like, escape magic and all), or something. Green Arrow making à courtesy visit with his wife, son, and sidekicks. The Superfam and their strong bonds with the Batfam being shown more, and not always in that “rival” way. And like, all of them, not just one or two characters at a time. Sunday lunches at the Kent farm, gaming nights (to which Bruce is dragged to), friendly compétitions, blahblahblah.

5. “Baby” Dick having nightmares in the middle of the night of his parents’ death, and Bruce always being there. How Bruce understands and is always around for him. And reassures him. And on that note : I’m sure most of the kids have nightmares during the night, and Bruce becomes better and better over the years at soothing them. Oh also, if Dick, after he goes and lives in Bludhaven comes to sleep at Wayne Manor for any reasons and has a nightmare, Bruce will just automatically go to him...awkward and cute scene ensues haha.

6. Cass’ first words to Bruce. A very emotional scenes because...it’s the first time she speaks. And it’s clumsy and she’s not sure of herself, and her voice trembles a little. But she’s talking. I’m not sure what her first words would truly be, but most definitely something that touches Bruce. That move him. That make him realize how much he loves that kid.

7. Bruce taking Jason to a baseball game (pre-death Jason) for his birthday because that’s what the kid wanted as à gift. And then later, them going to a game once again after their reconciliation. A very big parallel between the two scènes ya know, as Bruce reminisces. Both end up with Jason hugging Bruce because his favorite team won. In the first scene it’s little 8/9 years old Jay excited and is all cute. In the post-death scene, it’s a grown up Jason who had been angry at Bruce for so long and finally forgave him, and who hugs Bruce without even realizing he does it, because he’s just happy...And it ends on Bruce’s face smiling like, he finally got his boy back.

8. Tim and Damian bonding. I hate it when they're only represented as hating each others 24/7. They had à rough start, sure. But they grew à lot... I just wish we could see them more actually learning to be brothers, accepting each others etc etc. Now of course they'd bicker. Like any siblings. But I bet they'd have à lot of common intérests and such. That they'd like to tease each others, but would genuinely like hanging out and all. 

Also Tim is à very understanding sweet person, hé might be annoyed with Damian at first... But he would be amongst those who get it, ya know ? Who gives him time/à chance ? Like Bruce at first did everything wrong with Damian. He was harsh and violent and used intimidation (things Damian was too used to...) thinking he needed that to get Damian to lose his old ways (until he realized how wrong he was and apologzed and took à gentler way...ah that was good shit right there, Bruce acknowledging it all and trying to be better... Not like this current canon Bruce who's an asshole and never suffers any conséquences of it...). Well I think Tim would be more understanding and realize... Damian is just à kid. And Tim is à big brother now ? His older siblings were there for him, it's time for him to be there too. Know what I mean ? So yeah. I wish we'd have more of them actually being brothers and bonding.

 Same for Dick and Jason. I wish we had more of them together before Jason's death, and after too... They've been brothers for à long time, their relationship from start to Jay's death to him coming back... Is so interesting. Also, same goes for Cassandra and any of them.

9. Tim getting genuinely interested about Wayne Enterprise, and going to work with Bruce. Asking à million questions and mimicking à lot of B's mannerisms. Dick never showed much intérest in the company, and Jason could've been à great "heir " to it all had he not die and all... I don't think neither Damian nor Cass would care much. But Tim ? First canonically he is interested. But even so, he's just that "type" of kid ya know ? I bet he'd be very excited about the charity side of it all, and find novel ways to to make the world a better place. After all Tim is thé only one of the Robins to not have à tragic background (at least at first, after je was also hit with loss and pain... ) when he first became Robin, and who helped Batman and all completely selflessly. Because it was the right thing to do, and for no other tragic reasons.

10. Damian learning/enjoying really normal basic things gives me life ? Like the boy grew up in such à specific environment, there's so many things he must've missed...Disney movies marathon, vidéo games, just having fun without any other purpose than to have fun (no training), knowing what it is to feel safe and warm... You know. I wish we'd just see Damian understanding and learning things he was just never given, that are just... Nice. Of course being Batman's son means his life can never be completely normal (and I'm not sure he could fully adapt to à normal life... People always seem to forgét the deep traumas he went through during his childhood, which is why he was how Hé was at first...aaaah Damian came à long way), but you know, hé can still expérience so many new things, with his siblings and all ? With his father who tries really hard ? With Alfred ? Just. Seeing truly Damian have that character development without backtracking on it all the time (you know how in canon stories he's à total brat, then gets better, then back to à friendless brat who hates everyone and so on and s forth :/). Seeing him wanting to become better, and actually having à nice évolution.

_____________________

When I'm sad, I like to headcanon scènes about the Batfam, stuffs I wish we could see etc etc haha. Here's just à few I thought about today. I just.. Love them so much, love to share my love for them, and néed to escape current canon a lot haha. Anyway. Here we are.

PS : Sorry for any typo, I wrote this on my phone, and since I'm French, the autoccorect is changing almost every English words to French ones and I might've missed à few mistakes it made ( which drives me crazy haha. And is why I only put 10 "scènes" and not more... Ah, for another post ?).

#Bruce Wayne #Jason Todd #Tim Drake #Cassandra Cain #Richard Grayson #Damian Wayne #Batfamily #Batman #Nightwing #Robin #Red Hood #Red Robin #DC headcanon #Batfam #DC comics #Hiding in my headcanons #And ignoring canons haha #Terrible terrible current canon #This neanderthal Bruce and his abuse #...not our Batman ! #Awfuuuuul anyway here haha #Alfred Pennyworth #Batdad #Batkids

[about subbing.]

alright y’all sit tight and buckle up, i’ve held this in for three months now but today i saw a youtube comment demanding to know why it took so long for eng subs for a certain show to come out and i think some things should be made clear. 

fan subbers are not obligated to do the subbing we do. we are people with our own lives who are busy with work and school and life. the time spent subbing takes away from our study time, our down time, or time better spent doing more productive things. 

“but wait, surely it doesn’t take that long to sub a show? i see gifs on tumblr / translated transcriptions on twitter, so i know people are capable of translating things but nobody will sub the whole episode / it takes so long for eng subs to come out.”

it takes. so. much. time. in case you’re not familiar with the process (i know i wasn’t, before joining a subbing team), i’ll walk you through it with personal examples. 

(1) obtaining the raw video: 

content is often hosted on iqiyi, youku, tencent. unlike youtube, these platforms have little to no ‘fast’ ways to download the videos. for example, iqiyi uploads their episodes as .qsv files, which, due to their non-standard format, cannot be opened in any normal multimedia player and require the use of iqiyi's proprietary software. in order to decode the file and make it usable, downloaders have to find ccodes and ckeys, which takes time. to make it worse, these ccodes and ckeys change every few weeks, which means downloaders have to go on a hunt for them all over again. 

even if you could find an online downloader for videos, video parsers such as this one often give you very little control over the quality of the video - most of the downloads end up looking like someone chewed it up and spit it out. 

this means that whoever obtains the raw video has to use methods like coding or terminal just to get the hd file, which takes time and effort. 

from here, the raw video goes to two people: the transcriber and the timer. 

(2a) transcribing the video:

this is a step i skip when i am subbing alone or when i’m subbing in a team that are all chinese-speakers, but when i’m working in a team that has typesetters who don’t speak chinese, we have to provide a transcription along with our translation so that they can match the words on screen with the translations they put in. in some teams, there are members who only transcribe, but in smaller teams, translators have to do it ourselves.

transcribing takes time - it can take anywhere from half an hour to two hours for a five minute segment, depending on how used you are to typing in that language.

(2b) timing the video:

for me, this is The Most Time Consuming part of subbing - it’s the part i dread when subbing alone. it involves making sure your subs appear at the same time as the corresponding characters on screen, and often, if your subs appear even a couple of frames off, the entire sequence will look strange to the viewer. timing involves small adjustments made over and over again just so your subs look at least presentable. 

it requires precision, which takes time. and it requires practice and being comfortable with the timing software - if you’re starting out with new software, you might take more than two hours to time a five minute segment. 

even worse is when a video comes without chinese subtitles (rip all of us who ever had to sub these) - we don’t have a frame of reference and have to decide how to time by ourselves. we have to take into account sentence length and how fast viewers can read per second, how long a clause can be before viewers forget what was in the previous clause, and we have to make these decisions in tandem with how fast the people on screen are speaking. which takes time.  

(3) translating the video:

i think this step is often what people reduce subbing to and is what most people are familiar with seeing, but i cannot stress this enough - it also takes time.

personally, i take an hour to clear five minutes worth of dialogue on a good day. and then i take additional time for the sfx captions. and then additional time to proof-read and make sure i didn’t mishear, misinterpret or mistranslate things. most of the time, interviews love using internet slang or gaming terms and for those of us who don’t game or spend most of our lives on weibo, it’s an extra step for us to search for the term, understand its meaning and the context in which it’s being used. which takes time.

when a video comes without chinese subtitles and the members on screen happen to Love Screaming Over Each Other... replaying the segment over and over again to try and hear what they’re saying takes time. and patience. and eardrum abilities. 

in a team, it also involves proof-reading each other’s work. our translations team always proof-reads each other’s segments in case we catch something the others missed out on or mistranslated, or in case semantics are awkward and we have to restructure a sentence. i’m very, very lucky in that the subbing team i’m in have different strengths - one of us is better at chinese and explaining complex phrases, one of us is good at pragmatics and catching nuances and suggesting rephrases and one of us is good at semantics and making sure things are grammatically accurate. but sometimes teams are unbalanced and it takes extra effort to make sure things still turn out in the best quality possible. 

in some cases, we can discuss one (1) word choice for a full ten minutes because there simply isn’t a phrase for it in english and we have to t/n it, or because multiple english words map to the same chinese word and choosing the wrong one will provide a wrong connotation. in other cases, we know that some scenes will be talked a lot about or giffed a lot by international fans, and we have to make sure that the translations have to be as accurate and as nuanced as possible so that nothing gets twisted. and in the worse case scenario, a wrong word choice can change a fan’s whole impression of a member. 

(4) typesetting the video: 

for dialogue subtitles, this involves finding a font that is readable by everyone and a style that will be visible against all backgrounds. it involves making sure they stay in the same place and are of the same style (all aligned left, a certain number of pixels from the bottom etc). 

for sfx captions, this involves matching your english font to the chinese font used so the scene style isn’t incongruous and matching styles like outlines and shadows so that the colour scheme remains the same. in some cases, there is no space for the sfx translation, and typesetters have to blank out the original to make the translations visible. in many cases, they move, so typesetters have to animate the text, which takes extra effort. 

for multiple-episode shows, typesetters have to make sure that the styling remains consistent and visible in all settings, which make the thought given to these choices all the more important.

in some teams, typesetters don’t speak chinese, and have to refer to transcriptions and corresponding translations to typeset correctly. this takes time. in the cases where the original video comes without chinese subtitles, typesetters have to decide in which order the noise and mayhem should appear on screen. this takes time. 

and in the first place, this assumes that you have the software to do hard-subs - something not all of us have. 

(5) encoding and posting the video:

this step takes the least effort but it still needs So Much Time - converting the aegisubs or premiere pro file into an .mp4 requires a media encoder, and adobe media encoder more or less takes three hours to encode a three hour episode. sometimes, it exports as an .mov and you have to handbrake it to get it to an .mp4 file, which takes extra time. 

uploading it on youtube also takes time - it takes an hour to get a two-hour video uploaded, and it takes another few hours for it to process so that you can publish it in 1080p. 

some of our laptops don’t have enough processing power to go through a three hour video - even encoding a half-hour episode can slow down our laptops so much they’re pretty much useless until it’s done. some of us even don’t have a media encoder on our laptops and have to run to computer labs to get it encoded. and if the closest one is on campus twenty minutes away and it’s snowing outside? good luck. 

people who gif casually or translate in blocks of text on twitter don’t have to deal with steps (2), (4) and (5), and that’s where the difference lies - even if they’re capable of translating things, the sheer amount of effort and time it takes can deter people from trying. 

in addition, most of the time, the content we sub is copyrighted so we can’t even monetise the eng subs - we get nothing out of subbing. 

the reason why we do it anyway is because we love the show or the people on the show and want to share that with an international audience. we’re fans and for some of us, that’s justification enough to put in the time and effort needed to get more love and attention for our faves. 

and that’s why we appreciate it when people ask us, “hi, would you be interested in subbing this show?” most of these requests are polite and include an “only if you want to” add-on (which frees us from the obligation to agree), and it lets us know that you’re following our faves and lets us know what kind of content you’re interested in. most of the time, most of us don’t even need a ‘thank you’ in the comments (although they are very much appreciated), because if we see comments laughing over a certain member’s actions, it means someone else is loving our faves too and to me, it makes the effort worth it. 

i understand people asking, “why does it take so long to sub?” out of curiosity, because before i joined my subbing teams, i knew nothing about the process. but going, “why is it taking so long to sub?” is different, and demanding that a show be subbed when it takes us ten hours of work to let you enjoy a twenty minute video? that’s not fair. 

tl;dr: don’t underestimate the amount of effort it takes to sub a show. subbers have their own lives and are not obligated to work on your schedule. 

if you’re still thinking about demanding subs faster, consider joining the subs team. otherwise, shut up and enjoy the fact that fans are putting in time and effort for your entertainment for free. 

#vivi yells into the void #translations #anyway i'm tired of fans complaining that things take time #especially when you don't know the subs team members personalyl #i know a lot of people complain about yhsubs not updating but one of the translators is in premed and her schedule has been Insane this year #we're in the same club and one of my friends is her roommate and i still barely see her #and to those asking about the new trainee18 show? #i'm the only one translating for it and i've been packed this semester i havent even watched past episode six #much less sub episode three

Fic: Female Presenting N8pples

A coffee shop, December 2018

"Female presenting nipples?" Josh laughed, leaning back in the booth with his coffee in one hand. "It sounds like a really weird conference. Or modern art piece. Or a one hit wonder pop band."

Rachel nodded. "It's ridiculous."

"Look I only do Instagram and barely that these days. You'll have to explain this Tumblr thing a bit more. They're banning porn?"

"Yes but it's the way they're going about it. It was a big thing for some subcultures. A safer place than porn sites for many queer people to explore sexuality. And the way they've singled out women. Why should a woman's body be deemed inherently sexual in a way a man's body isn't?"

Josh frowned. "I can go shirtless on the beach but you can't. Is that sexism too?"

"I'd argue yes. But Tumblr isn't a public space. It could have raised the minimum age you need to be to join the site. It could have put in place better ways to filter out adult content. There were other ways to go about making the site safer for young teens than this sledgehammer."

"Teens need protecting," Josh repeated and smirked. "I was reading Playboy at their age. Teens are curious. Anyway, I'm on your side about nudity not being sexual ever since that woman tried to censor the half-scale replica of Michelangelo's statue of David at the local art gallery. So, this female presenting nipple thing; I don't get it. Instagram's the same but I don't look for that kind of thing - not there anyway - so I've never much thought about it."

Rachel took a sip of her cappuccino before she replied. "Most people don't get it. It's not just women's nipples are bad. Anything that looks like a female nipple. Male nipples in some cases. Mountains."

"Mountains?"

"The algorithm is already flagging all sorts of false positives. And while genitals are banned, naked buttocks aren't or at least aren't getting flagged. Artwork isn't supposed to be, so your David statue should be okay, but it's still getting flagged often. And nipples are okay if it's a post about breastfeeding or a mastectomy. I find it creepy, hey your body is offensive unless you're doing your womanly duty to feed a child or you've suffered a terrible illness."

Josh finished his coffee. "What about transitioning? I think I heard Twitter had a thing about that once, a trans woman posting regular updates during their transition and seeing when the ban kicked in?"

"I guess we'll see." Rachel sighed. "I like some of the social commentary on Tumblr, the cute animal pics, the music discussions. I don't even go there for porn but I know some artists are leaving and it's having a knock on effect. The ban isn't supposed to be for text posts but one of my posts about an LGBT hotline offering advice on sex and relationships got flagged because I had it tagged 'gay and lesbian sexuality'. LGBT blogs with no porn on them are getting deleted en masse, while actual porn blogs are still showing up. It's a mess."

"That's social media," Josh said. "Or capitalism. When all social media is privately owned they can censor whatever they want. You'd need a non-profit committed to freedom of speech with a clear understanding of where the definition of hate speech and abusive content lies. One that doesn't think a nipple that's maybe attached to a female body is evil. Seems unlikely right now."

Rachel finished her drink. "You're right. Can we walk back past the library?"

"Sure." Josh got to his feet. "It's a nice day. Maybe I should take off my shirt and show everyone my nipples."

Rachel laughed. "In this weather? You were still wearing jumpers in June."

"In my defence it was a very cold start to June!"

They left the cafe, continuing to gently tease each other, the subject of censorship soon forgotten.

Notes and further reading

The incident with the statue wasn't a direct reference to a real event but I did google for similar examples and found this which is exactly what I referred to, though taking place in Russia https://news.artnet.com/art-world/russians-dress-michelangelo-david-328717

The Tumblr ban came into effect in December 2018. It has been heavily criticised by many.

https://www.themarysue.com/tumblr-will-ban-all-adult-content/ looks at the ban "this sort of adult content is frequently generated by women, marginalized people, and all sorts of creatives struggling in our vicious “gig economy.” They’re going to be hurt the most by the ban." and includes a tweet from someone talking about transitioning " where i post pictures of my bare chest every day while i'm on hrt and wait for the exact point they become illegal"

Tristan Greene at https://thenextweb.com/opinion/2018/12/14/tumblrs-female-presenting-nipples-language-isnt-semantics-its-oppression/ highlights the hypocrisy "if you’re a woman – or any human with “female-presenting nipples” – and you pose for a nude fine-art photograph, and someone wants to share it on Tumblr: forget it. No girls allowed. This is beyond stupid. There is no relationship whatsoever between images of women without a top on, and images that are criminal by their very existence."

This woman's story https://www.quora.com/What-message-is-Tumblr-sending-by-banning-female-presenting-nipples-from-user-content-Why-is-it-so-controversial/answer/Gabriel-Bell-18 shows the ban contributes to sexualising of any woman's body by singling female bodies out as sexual and she writes "By classifying “female-presenting nipples” as explicit material, Tumblr has taken a stance that any chest or breast that differs from a male default is worthy of shame and unavoidably sexual. The idea that breasts are shameful and unavoidably sexual is exactly what fucked me up for so much of my life."

The title is given here with an 8 replacing the i; there are many workarounds for writing words that might get flagged including replacing vowels with other symbols and deliberate mis-spellings, hence the rise of the internet slang term pr0n.

Dribble을 사용하여 좋은 포트폴리오를 가진 디자이너를 찾아 보십시오. 계정을 PRO 상태로 업그레이드하여 연 20달러에 직접 문의하십시오. 그런 다음 검색 필터를 사용하여 “인포그래픽”을 입력하십시오. 좋아하는 사람을 찾은 후 “나를 고용해 달라”를 클릭하여 당신의 필요를 상세히 설명하고 가격을 요청하십시오. 파이버는 저렴한 인포그래픽을 기꺼이 만들려는 훌륭한 디자이너를 찾는 또 다른 장소다. 게스트 기사를 수용하는 웹사이트를 찾기 위한 수많은 방법이 존재한다. 여기 세 가지가 있다.: Google 검색 쿼리를 사용하여 게스트 기여자를 수용하는 블로그를 찾으십시오. 정기적으로 게스트 게시물을 게시하는 인플루언서를 찾아보고, 이전과 동일한 웹 사이트에 기여해 보십시오. 프리랜서 작가 Kristi Hines의 프로필의 예를 들어보자. Google Plus 프로필에서 “정보”를 클릭한 다음 기고자 섹션으로 스크롤하십시오. 여기서 기고자 웹 사이트 목록을 확인하십시오. 다른 인플루언서와 이 프로세스를 반복하면 타사 웹 사이트에 컨텐츠를 게시할 수 있는 기회가 무궁무진하다. 소셜 미디어를 사용하여 다른 옵션을 검색하십시오. Twitter에서 “게스트 게시물”, “게스트 기사” 또는 “게스트 작성자”를 검색하십시오. 프로세스를 자동화하려면 Topsy를 사용하여 추적할 키워드에 대한 알림을 설정하십시오. 게스트 기사를 게시할 때는 항상 소셜 미디어 프로필에 연결되어 있는지 확인하십시오. 만약 누군가가 당신의 직책을 즐긴다면, 그 또는 그녀는 유사한 미래의 기사들을 쉽게 따라갈 수 있다. SEO 모범 사례 콘텐트 페이지는 웹사이트의 핵심이며, 거의 항상 방문자들이 사이트를 방문하는 이유다. 이상적인 컨텐츠 페이지는 특정 주제(일반적으로 제품 또는 객체)에 매우 구체적이고 관련성이 매우 높아야 한다. 주어진 웹 페이지의 목적은 다음 모든 영역에 직접 명시되어야 한다. 여기 잘 정리된 검색 엔진 친화적인 웹 페이지의 예가 있다. 모든 온라인 요소가 최적화되어 있다. 백링크 시 키워드를 걸게 되는데 이 키워드는 웹사이트의 콘텐츠 SEO 최적화 부분에서 말하는 키워드와 같은 전략을 가지고 시작하는 것이 일관성도 있고 퍼포먼스가 날 수 있습니다. 키워드도 의뢰인이 생각하는 키워드가 기본이겠지만 생각지도 못한 키워드에서 높은 랭킹을 받는 경우를 많이 볼 수 있고 그런 키워드 중에 경쟁이 낮은 키워드가 많이 있습니다. 즉, 퍼포먼스 가능한 키워드 중심으로 먼저 링크빌딩을 해야합니다. 이 부분이 생각보다 매우 중요합니다. 왜냐하면 seo의 장점이 바로 한 개 키워드가 아닌 비즈니스 관련된 총체적인 롱테일 키워드이기 때문이고 앞서 말씀드린 것처럼 고객이 원하시는 키워드는 대부분 경쟁률이 높아 성과를 내기 어렵기 때문입니다. 실제로 키워드 퍼포먼스를 측정해 보시면 이해 할 수 있습니다. 고객이 원한다고 해당 키워드만 백링크를 걸어주는 것보다 백링크를 걸어주면서 키워드를 같이 조절 해야만 성공률이 높습니다. 그리고, 일괄적인 백링크 키워드 보다 여러 사람들이 걸어주는 롱테일 키워드가 검색엔진이 판단하기에도 매우 자연스럽기 때문입니다여기서 대부분의 분들은 백링크만 열심히 걸어주면 무조건 올라간다는 장사꾼들의 말에 현혹되는 분들이 많습니다. 구글/네이버가 그렇게 만만한 상대가 아닙니다. 링크된 백링크도 3개월~6개월 이상 존속해야 효과가 있는데 저가의 저질 백링크는 처음 잠깐 걸어주고 없애기도 해서 효과가 없습니다. 구글은 3~6개월 이상의 백링크에만 가점을 준다고 알려져 있습니다. seo(검색엔진 최적화)의 분류는? 2가지 분류로 구분하면 웹사이트 내외에 따라 온페이지 seo , 오프페이지 seo가 있습니다. 온페이지 seo는 웹사이트 내에 있는 Html요소, Server요소, 핵심&연관키워드를 대상으로 합니다. 오프페이지 seo는 웹사이트 밖에서 활동을 하는 소셜미디어, 타웹사이트 링크 등을 말합니다. 2가지 분류 중 온페이지 seo를 다시 2개로 분류하면 ①테크니컬 seo, ②콘텐츠 seo로 분류할 수 있습니다. 그리고, 오프페이지 seo는 ③링크빌딩seo라고 합니다. 7. 오픈그래프(Open Graph) meta og 태그(tag)와 트위터 카드(Twitter Cards) SNS미리보기 화면은 평소에 친구나 지인에게 공유를 하면서 보셨으리라고 생각되는데요! 웹페이지의 공유 버튼 혹은 URL을 복사하여 SNS로 콘텐츠를 공유합니다. 이때, 해당 콘텐츠의 요약내용이 “SNS에 게시되는데 최적화된 데이터”를 가지고 갈 수 있도록 설정하는 것입니다. 공유 할 때 미리보기가 이상하다면 클릭하지 않을 확률이 높겠죠? 네이버 서치어드바이저 > 웹마스터도구 > 검증 > 웹페이지 최적화 > 콘텐츠항목에서도 체크를 하고 있습니다. 당연히 설정해야겠죠? 8. 캐노니컬(Canonical) 대표/표준 URL 주소 동일한 웹페이지가 서로 다른 URL을 가지고 있을 수 있기때문에 검색엔진은 판단을 할 수 있는 기준이 필요합니다. 이때, 정식 URL을 알기 위해 Canonical URL을 지정하는 것입니다. 동일한 웹페이지가 각각 다른 5개의 URL로 검색엔진에 등록되어있다면 5배 더 방문자가 높아야 하지만, 실제 방문자는 1개의 URL인 경우보다 오히려 낮게 됩니다. 이유는 5개로 분산된 URL의 중요도도 함께 분산되기 때문입니다. 그리고 이 신뢰도를 측정하는 가장 큰 기준 중 하나가 바로 백링크인 것 입니다. 백링크는 쉽게 말하면 타사이트에서 내 사이트의 페이지로 링크시켜주는 것을 말합니다. 위키피디아의 백링크 정의를 보면 백링크(Backlink) 또는 역링크는 웹 리소스의 경우 웹 리소스를 가리키는 다른 일부 웹사이트로부터의 링크이다. 웹 리소스는 (이를테면) 웹사이트,웹 페이지,웹 디렉터리가 될 수 있다. 백링크를 거는 방법 중 가장 안정적인 구조는 다음과 같이 표현할 수 있습니다. 내 사이트로 직접 들어오는 링크가 양질 일 수도 스팸성일 수도 있다는 것이 문제가 될 수 있기에 안정적인 링크빌딩을 위해서는 전략 상 허브사이트로 클리닝을 하는 것도 좋은 방안입니다. 양질의 백링크를 받기 위해서는 여러가지 전략이 필요하고 양질의 컨텐츠보다도 양질의 백링크가 중요하다고 말할 정도이니 백링크가 매우 중요하다는 것을 알 수 있습니다. 백링크를 걸 때에는 앵커텍스트와 alt 태그가 포함된 이미지를 이용하여 제대로 된 링크를 구성해야만 성공적인 백링크로 인식됩니다. 웹문서에 링크를 생성하는 수준을 넘어, 페이지 또는 프로필 구조로 만든 백링크를 생성해야합니다. 의미있는 결과를 얻기 위해서라면 페이스북, 트위터처럼 한국어 지원 가능한 플랫폼에 생성된 프로필 링크를 구축하는 것이 좋고 구글은 SNS를 매우 좋아합니다. 이때 링크와 글은 오픈그라프 태그와 트위터 태그를 포함하여 제작되며 ‘스키마’ 기준을 엄격 적용하여 작업해야 성공적으로 백링크가 구축됩니다. 4. 페이지 로딩속도 개선 페이지로딩속도는 대부분 별로 중요하지 않게 생각하실 수 있습니다. 하지만 로딩속도를 개선하는 것만으로도 사이트 순위가 많이 상승됩니다. 위 캡처에 나와 있는 구글 페이지 스피드 인사이트를 사이트를 통해 자신의 사이트 로딩속도를 참고해보시고 개선점을 찾으신 후 이미지 용량을 줄인다던지 방법을 통해 로딩속도를 꼭 개선하시기 바랍니다. 5. 콘텐츠 확산(백링크 구축) 백링크 작업은 수작업으로 하기에는 한계가 있기 때문에 백링크 작업 전문업체의 도움을 받으시는 것도 좋습니다. 백링크가 꼭 필요한 이유에 대해서는 아래 칼럼을 참조하시는 것도 도움이 되실 것입니다. 요즘 대행업체에서도 굉장히 많이 쓰이는 기법인데요. 사실상 구글 SEO의 키는 백링크가 쥐고 있다고 보시면 됩니다. 백링크를 통해 링크빌딩 작업을 잘 수행하신다면 큰 비용을 절감하실 확률이 높습니다. 5. Canonical Tag Canonical 태그는 위에서 언급 한 URL 정규화와 밀접하게 관련되어 있지만, 서로 다른 URL의 동일한 버전을 해결하는 데 사용되는 점이 다소 다릅니다. 캐노니칼 여러 페이지에 유사한 내용이 있는 경우 페이지 복제를 방지하는 데도 유용합니다. 위의 이미지를 보면, 카테고리 시스템이 동일한 페이지에 대해 여러 버전을 생성하는 모습을 볼 수 있습니다. 예를 들어 대해 color=blue, color=red, color=green등의 페이지가 자동으로 생성된다고 하더라도, 각 페이지에 대해 기본 URL인 Canonical Tag로 설정함으로써 해당 페이지가 ‘원본’이라는 것을 명시해야 합니다. 6. 이미지 내의 텍스트 많은 사이트에서는 텍스트가 포함된 이미지를 볼 수 있습니다. 구글은 이미지의 텍스트를 어느 정도 이해할 수 있지만, 사람이 이미지를 인식하는 것만큼 정교하게 파악하지는 못합니다. 백링크작업 SEO의 가장 좋은 방법은 중요한 텍스트를 이미지에 삽입하지 않는 것입니다. 7. Broken Link 확인하기 SEO담당자나 개발자가 사이트를 제대로 관리하지 않는다면, 웹사이트에서 수 많은 Broken Link가 발생할 수 있습니다. 사이트나 컨텐츠의 주소를 이전하는 마이그레이션 후 사이트의 상위 페이지 중 일부가 404페이지(페이지 없음)가 될 수 있습니다. 이러한 경우, Google Search Console(이하GSC)과 Moz, Majestic같은 Backlink를 확인할 수 있는 툴을 통해 Broken링크를 찾을 수 있습니다. 먼저, GSC에서 상위 1000개의 404에러를 검토하고 Broken Link를 통해 상위 오류의 우선 순위를 지정합니다. 확인작업: Broken Link가 있는 페이지를 확인한 후, 해당 페이지의 상위 카테고리/페이지로 301리디렉션합니다. 링크 된 사이트가 잘못 입력되었거나 링크 코드가 잘못된 Broken Link를 찾습니다. SEO업체 1.SEO 업체 사이트 가 최소한 구글 이나 네이버 에서 SEO 에 관련된 키워드로 검색 상위에 올라가 있는지 확인합니다. "사이트상위노출","구글상위노출" "구글상위작업", "네이버SEO", "구글상위작업방법", "네이버상위노출", "구글SEO", "바이두SEO", "구글seo업체" 등등 이러한 키워드들은 seo업체들이 자신의 사이트가 상위에 노출됐으면 하는 키워드들 입니다. 이런 키워드 들로 구글 에서 상위노출이 되는 업체 인지 먼저파악해 보셔야 합니다. 해외Seo 업체 라면서 자기들과 관계된 키워드 조차 검색엔진 상위에 올리지 못하고 네이버 의 파워링크나 구글의 애드워즈 와 같은 광고 상품으로만 고객을 만나는 업체들이 고객이 원하는 키워드를 상위에 올려주겠다 는 것은 말이 맞지 않는 얘기 입니다. 지금 현재 이페이지를 보고 계시는 님도 특정 키워드로 검색을 해서 여기 까지 와서 이글을 읽고 계시는 것 처럼 검색 상위에 오르는 것은 쉽지는 않지만 경제적 이며 사이트 운영에 따라 영구적인 랭킹 상위에 대한 이익을 누릴수 있습니다. 구글에서 광고 나 AD 라는 표시 없는 순수 웹문서 영역 1페이지 에 노출이 되는 업체 인지 다시 한번 확인을 하셔야 합니다 . 네이버는 키워드 광고인 파워링크 로만 노출이 되는 업체 가 되겠네요.광고 영역이 아닌 순수 웹문서 영역에 노출이 되는 업체가 중요합니다.

Team Titans #24

Zero Hour is here, business itches!

Ending sentences with "bitches" has always been a super fun way to emphasize a sentence and pretend that you're about to cap a motherfucker in the ass. But since I'm trying to stop using the word "bitches" and my friends all keep yelling at me that my replacement word, "retards," is way worse, I needed to come up with a word that rhymes with bitches. I'm not sure "business itches" works perfectly but it almost sounds like I'm jazzing up bitches in a white person trying to be more urban kind of way. And I don't mean "black" when I say "urban," although I wouldn't argue with somebody who says I did just that. I don't have time to go to law school at one of the top fourteen elite colleges just to learn how to argue that lies are truth and truth are lies! But I do have time to say, "We'll just have to agree to disagree!" What about "Zero Hour is here, Quidditchers!"? No? You know who the most tiresome people in the world are? People who constantly declare that we can't say anything anymore. You can say whatever you want! But you're expressing something inherent in yourself when you go to bat for specific things you want to keep saying. I don't know what the things people can't say anymore are because they never tell you specifically the things they want to keep saying that they can't. Which seems telling, doesn't it? It's as if they want their argument to seem reasonable by including a bunch of things that they can't comprehend people being angry at them for saying. Maybe things like "kittens" or "can of beer" or "onstage masturbation cage." But they never say anything that makes me think, "Whoa. You shouldn't say that," when they say that people can't say anything anymore. Give me some examples! But you know you won't get any examples because then they'll have to defend wanting to say some things that might make people ask, "What kind of person wants to keep saying that?!" Some dumb people might feel the gears in their brain beginning to spring to life, leading them to respond, "But didn't you just say you're not going to say 'bitches' and that your friends yell at you for saying 'retards'?! See? You can't say anything anymore!" To those people, I'd just like to point out that A. I just said both of those words so you're wrong and B. I've made the personal choice not to use certain language in casual ways. My use of the word "retards" in the previous context was carefully chosen for the joke. You'll notice I didn't call anybody that no matter how slow the gears in their brains took to spring to life. Plus, I have also used the word "dumb" at the beginning of this sentence which would get some people up in arms at me. But even if they messaged me and said, "You're an ableist motherfucker, you motherfucker!" (but with a word that probably isn't shaming people who fuck mothers. I actually don't know any curse words that somebody can't make problematic with a hot take!), remember that thing I said about law school? I don't have time to learn to argue these things! Maybe at some future date, I'll come around to their way of thinking and stop calling stupid morons dumb (and maybe morons too (and stupid? Is stupid bad?!)) but until then, I don't feel like I can't say it just because some people get mad at me for saying it. I'll take the verbal haranguing and just get on with my life. And if I feel that they've made a great point, maybe I'll apologize. I mean, I won't apologize or admit I did anything wrong! But maybe I'll surreptitiously change my behavior in the future! We can't all be fucking Tumblr saints like Wil Motherfucking Wheaton! Man, I really heard it that time. The term "motherfucker" is really problematic! The people with the slowest gears in their brains probably just finally spat out the term "virtue-signaler" after reading all of that. Interesting how a certain type of people who think they can't say anything anymore have come up with a specific term to shout at people saying things they'd rather those people didn't say. It's weird how they ignore how being angry that they can't say certain things sort of signals their anti-virtue? I mean, that might not be true but there's an easy way to prove me wrong: be specific with the things you can't say when you say you can't say anything. If you just want to call your dog fat in public, you might want to realize that, by not expressing that specific expression, people might think you want to spout the n-word willy-nilly. See how maybe you'd want to clarify that? Unless, I mean, is it possible you just want to go around saying the n-word? Normally, I'd actually type out the n-word in a conversation like this. But you can't say anything anymore! Without consequences, I mean! You know, I think I'd be fine with their argument if they just added "without consequences" to the end of it. It would be a hell of a lot more honest. "But it makes life so hard when you have to deal with repercussions!" For transparency's sake, I just did a search of the word "nigger" on my site and found it used in seventeen different reviews (eighteen counting this one now too, I suppose!) which seems like an awful lot (even considering I've got over four thousand reviews. That's less than half of a percent! I guess I have to admit to being 0.5% racist now. Hmm, that seems like a lot written out like that. I am the monster everybody has been telling me I am!). Most of the entries seem to be discussions on the conservative use of the word thug as a stand-in for the n-word or discussing the "euphemism treadmill." A few of them are discussing Quentin Tarantino. At least one was me parodying Xbox users. Obviously none of them were derogatory or meant to be hurtful. But a few may have been too casual and edgelord-y in the mentioning of the word. I'd say out of those seventeen uses, only one really made me cringe. It was less the usage of the word and more the anti-Tumblr rant I went on that day. I almost sounded like one of those assholes who blames their retreat into right-wing fascism on being called out by social justice warriors! I must have had a bad day where somebody complained that I called a woman a barn owl and I had and I knew that I shouldn't have and I was acting defensive. Sorry about that, Internet! I'll do better! I was going to link to some of those posts but then I thought, "Why should I?! If somebody is so obsessed with my use of a word, they should have to damn themselves by typing it into the search bar!" See? Sometimes using a word is a necessary evil! Now that I've completely ruined my reputation and confused people with my personal non-rhyming slang "barn owl," I should probably read Team Titans #24. According to the cover, it has dinosaurs!

The weirdest part of Zero Hour was the laugh track.

Proclaiming the story you just spent years writing was so terribly written that only idiots would enjoy it might not be the great meta-dialogue you thought it was. The editors at DC were like Australians importing foxes and cats to get rid of their imported rabbit problem. But instead of using invasive species to manage other invasive species, they decided using time travel and alternate timelines were the best way to cure the DC Universe of a time travel and alternate timeline problem. You would have thought destroying all of the alternate Earths would have taken care of the problems with alternate timelines. But you and the DC editors forgot that terrible writers would still use alternate futures of the same Earth to prop up their inability to write well. But also, since Crisis fucked up so many characters' points of origins (see my non-existent Infinity, Inc. reviews in an alternate timeline where I actually purchased those comics), Zero Hour was needed to just restate all the origins of all the characters. What better way to do that than to fuck with the main DC timeline?! What could go wrong (aside from losing all of the Hal Jordan fans)?! Monarch explains that to create a world where he controls everything, he had to send 600 Team Titans into specific points in the past to change things just the right way for events to bring him to power. It's a good thing that, naturally, events happened to bring him to a point where he could send 600 Team Titans into the past to change the future that made his future control of everything possible! Fucking time travel. Suck every dick! The issue begins like any other confusing, contrived, and convoluted Team Titans issue:

With a boy just recently resurrected getting trampled to death by mammoths.

The randomly resurrected people and feral mammoths probably weren't specifically part of Monarch's plan. But when you fuck with time, you're going to have to deal with some truly fucked up consequences. Herald and Bumblebee save the rest of the pioneer family from being killed. But afterward, the racist pioneer calls Herald a derogatory name and he's all, "Their remarks were offensive as hell!" And Bumblebee's response is, "You've become so political since you reached legal drinking age." What the fuck kind of response is that?! How is not wanting to be called a racial slur political?! And why the fuck would turning twenty-one make any difference?! Maybe it would make more sense if I knew anything about Herald and Bumblebee. I think they were important to the Titans in the early series which I never read. Meanwhile, dinosaurs are rampaging around Seattle's Capitol Hill district. And then Hero X, a Team Titan, gets eaten by a pterodactyl. I feel like it's supposed to be a funny moment but the laughs from the laugh track are missing and, I mean, a character just died. And that shouldn't be funny, even if the character was some jerk named Hero X. Unsure what might be happening, Bumblebee and Herald decide to take the Team Titans back to New Jersey to regroup with the other teams.

Ha ha! Automation! Artificial Intelligence hasn't gotten any better in the future if it's coming up with terrible super-hero names like that. Also, not everybody is there, Herald. Have you forgotten about poor Hero X already?!

Ugh. The same boring dinosaur fights around earthquakes with Titans saving people at the last second happens over and over and over again. Finally, Terra says, "I think we were being manipulated like pawns on a chessboard!" And, in the future, Monarch answers her! "Oh, if you only knew the extent of it, Terra! How my confusing and contrived and convoluted plan worked to a tea! Or is that a tee? Oh, fuck it! Who cares?! I am Captain Atom and I will...I mean, I am Hank Hall, also known as Haw, and I now rule the world! I think. How does time work again? Shouldn't my plan have already come to pass since I'm in the future? Why am I the future me that existed before I changed the past and still exist now that I've changed it? No, no! Don't think about it for too long! Just think about the name I'll use after Monarch. It has to be dignified and glorious and intimidating! So far I'm having a tough time picking between Bloodfestor and Extant!" Team Titans #24 Rating: F. What a terrible fucking end to a mostly terrible comic book. And I don't feel like I'm being mean or that my rating would hurt Jeff Jensen's feelings. He's the guy who called his own run on the Team Titans "confusing, contrived, and convoluted!"

Mistakes Novice Writers Make - Day 5 Writing and Prose

Hi guys, and welcome back to our last day of common mistakes that novice writers make. Today we’re gonna talk about general writing mistakes and problems with prose.

The biggest thing that novice writers are guilty of is trying too hard. They might feel like their plain, everyday way of talking and writing isn’t good enough, isn’t clever enough or isn’t literary enough.

And so, they will try to be something they are not. This almost always shows to the reader and makes the writer look like an amateur.

A lack of clear and concise prose will turn off all but the hardiest of readers. Writing styles, much like language evolve over time. The days of big words and flouncy, poetic prose went out with Dickens. And while it’s nice to go back and read them sometimes, they are very much of their time and not to most modern tastes.

That’s not to say there is anything wrong with this style of writing, it has its place and can still be used today if it’s done right, but it’s a skill that takes practice and more practice to get it right. Often if you are writing a book in the style of someone else, you can market it as such and that’s fine, your readers will know exactly what they are buying, but for a modern, contemporary novel, it doesn’t work at all.

Not matching your writing style to the type of book you are writing. For example, if you have a rather old-fashioned style, with very proper sentence construction and a love of bigger words, you might be better suited to a historical novel where it will work better. Older writers who attended school in a different era tend to find this works for them. An historical novel doesn’t have to be set hundreds of years ago, it just has to be a time that is not now. So, if you grew up in the 60’s, were taught in those times and still have those kind of speech patterns to your writing, then maybe think about doing a novel set during that time period, where your langue and style will be able to flow and work to its full potential.

If you have a more modern style, then set your novel in modern times that reflect it. it would really jar with your readers if you used modern langue in a novel set in the 1940’s for example.

On the subject of historicals, let me add in a little warning about another problem that was brought up by another writer is asked about common mistakes. And that is lack of research.

Armature writers often get too caught up in the story and have an overly romanticised view of the time period they are writing about.

I’m a member of a few active writing forums and one observation someone made was how they were having to re-write almost all of their novel because their editor had said they had overly romantic, TV drama style descriptions. And because of this they had now learnt that the streets of 1850’s New Orleans would have been covered in horse shit as well as human waste, people would be pissing on the street without a care in the world, it was filthy, it stank and was not really a nice place to be.

Trying to write a book when all you know about the area or time period has come from Movies or TV shows will scream novice and showcase your lac of effort. Research is your friend.

This doesn’t just mean in the physical descriptions of the area itself, but includes the dialogue they would have used, the accents and slang words they would have used, the legal system of the time, how the country worked, and basically researching all aspects of the book, not just the obvious.

Another prose problem would be making your writing overly complex, again this is related to the type of book that you are writing.

Going into massive details about how a computer works and how they are built is fine if you are writing an article for a computer magazine, but not in a novel or gods forbid, a short story. Readers will have a hard time following it and will likely skip ahead or give up on the story entirely. It’s the same with science or physics, keep things as basic as you can while still giving the information that is needed. Don’t treat your reader like they are stupid and need to be spoon fed the ABC, but also keep the large, complicated scientific explanations in their place such as magazines, academic journals and dissertations.

Choppy prose is another example of amateurish writing. Choppy prose can make your writing feel disjoined, like it lacks flow (because it does) and construction.

While this will work in small does, for an action scene or a scary scene, too much will make it feel like a race, exhausting your reader and making it harder to read.

There are a number of culprits that result in choppy prose, the most common two being fragmented or run on style sentences.

Run on writing is when two or more scene points are joined without proper conjunction- like the use of and, but, or type of words- or without punctuation. It has an almost hurried pace and that isn’t always the pace you are trying to create. For example:

“Mona arrived at the bank only 3 minutes late she ran up the steps she banged on the door screamed at the people still inside she had to get inside to talk to them.”

Fragmented writing seems incomplete, lacking a real purpose, flow or structure. It can make the writer look uneducated, it can read in a really confusing way and give an image you don’t want. For example:

“Mona gave up and stopped. Cried. What would happen now? Ruined. All was ruined. She sat down on the steps. Because her legs gave out. maybe someone would help her? The next bank. Take pity on her.”

That was actually hard for me to write, because it goes against almost everything I know as a writer. But you’d be surprise how often I see it while beta reading, in online stories or in independently published books.

See how badly those examples read? But don’t despair, because both can be fixed with a little practice and work. Separate your run-on sentences with correct clauses, or into sentences of their own, adding more details when needed. Smooth out your fragmented writing with proper punctuation and build them into full sentences.

Here is an example of how to fix some of the structural problems.

“Mona missed the bank by 3 minutes, finding the doors locked. Desperate, she banged on the door, calling to the people inside to let her in. She needed to talk to them, to fix it. they ignored her, deaf to her yells. Giving up she stopped, bursting into tears as the reality of the situation hit home. Ruined, it was all ruined.

Her legs felt wobbly, incapable of holding her up and she sat down heavily on the steps before she fell down. Maybe someone else would help her, maybe another bank would take pity on her? she couldn’t give up now.”

That flows so much better, it explains the situation in brief detail and shows her mood, but also her determination to keep trying.

Check your word choices. Nothing screams amateur more than writing the wrong word or spelling.

Here is a brief example of this, I’ll give you a moment to read it. (show purple picture.)

Using the wrong word choice can make you look uneducated, like you are trying too hard and using words you don’t understand in an effort to look clever. When in fact it has the opposite effect.

If you are using a word that has more than one meaning, check its definition, check the spelling and make sure you are using it in the correct way. For example: bare and bear One, spelt BARE- means that something is naked, not covered, to bare all, or to be bare, something that is basic, the bare essential, without decoration or fancy features. Bear spelt BEAR has more than one meaning, it means a bear as in the animal that lives in the woods and likes to steal picnic baskets, other meanings include not being able to bear something, its unbearable, I cannot bear it. you can also bear something, as in, he was bearing a tray of snacks.

The same goes for any words that you do not use or hear in everyday conversation, check them, because you can quite easily misunderstand the meaning of a word or misspell it to turn it into something it shouldn’t be. If you are wanting to use a word that you have never checked before, check it. A thirty second google could be the difference between looking educated or stupid.

So many people think they know the meaning of a word only to confuse it with another that sounds very similar, for example, Synonym buns, and cinnamon buns. Most definitely not the same thing, and yes, I’ve seen this one on the internet, it’s a real thing.

Another thing to always check is a common saying. By that I mean when someone thinks they know what a common saying is, but they actually misheard it themselves and now just keep saying it wrong. One example I’ve seen of this is someone that wished everyone could just “barry the hatchet” I don’t know who barry is or why he’s a hatchet or what they are trying to do with him.

All of these little slip ups are sure fire ways of making yourself look bad when they turn up in your writing work.

If I read a comment or post by someone that uses the wrong words while trying to look clever, usually when someone is ranting or trying to make an offensive point, I will notice it, I can’t help it. and much as I would love to say that I don’t judge them, lets be real here, I do. I do judge, because I believe in education, and in continuing to educate yourself, to better yourself, for as long as you have left on this planet. By not looking up the correct words, using tools like spell check or even bothering to use the right spelling for a word, well that’s often just laziness in my eyes. Harsh but true. I can’t take someone seriously if they are trying to make a point when they write like that. And if I saw that in a novel, it would likely make me stop reading. If you want to be taken seriously with your writing you have to start taking it seriously yourself, and that means lots of time and effort.

Bad use of punctuation, or the complete lack of it, is also something that many will judge you on. It can also throw off the whole rhythm and flow of your writing. I’m not going to go deep into this as I’m planning to do a video on this subject. But what I will say now as a quick tip is to either read your work out loud or better yet, get a reading app to do it for you if you have trouble with knowing how punctuation works within your work. The difference between a full stop and a comma is huge, but many treat them as the same thing, almost interchangeable, but the misuse of them will change the whole structure of your sentence.

Repetitive words are another thing that novice writers may do. Now I’m not saying that you need to pull a Joey and use a thesaurus for every word you use, but you can mix it up a bit.

If you are describing something and you will need to make a point more than once, try to find a different descriptive word to use. I have a personal rule of never using the same descriptive word twice for the same thing in the same paragraph.

Obviously, there are exceptions to this rule, some things you can’t branch out on without looking like you are trying too hard.

A book is a book, sure technically you could say novel, opus, tome, volume, paper back etc, they all mean the same thing, but it would get pretty ridiculous if you used them all. In this case I would describe the book itself, “A paperback romance sat on the bedside table,” and then just refer to it as the book after that. “She picked up the book, studying the cover,” “she flicked through the book, starting to read at random,” “She threw the book at his head.” That is an example of keeping things simple.

When not to use repetitive words would be when describing something important, like a baby. You could use new-born, the baby, his son, her child, the infant, etc.

Picture the scene, there had just been a traumatic birth and now the baby is safely here and it’s the aftermath or even during the birth itself, just saying the baby all the time would become boring and repetitive.

If something is important it needs to be kept at the forefront of the action and that means that it needs more than one descriptive word.

Another example of this would be action words or ‘doing’ words if you prefer to call them that.

Here’s an example of one descriptive word getting overused and boring. “The crystals were placed in a circle, their pattern very specific, with a candle placed in the centre. Next, she took out a shell and placed that in the west of the circle, then came an incense cone which she placed in the east.”

Placed, placed, placed all the same descriptive word. Other words could and probably should be used to keep the writing feeling fresh.

“The crystals were arranged in a circle, their pattern looking to be very specific, a candle was then placed in the centre (our first and only placed) next she took out a shall, laying it carefully in the west of the circle and an incense cone in the east.”

Different words make the writing more interesting.

Another problem which I will just touch on as I did a bit about this in one of the previous videos and I plan on doing a more in-depth talk on them in the future, is POV, i.e. 1st, 2nd or 3rd person writing. Books are almost always in either 1st or 3rd person POV, 2nd is mostly ignored and unused, personally I hate that point of view.

Most novice writers fall into writing 1st person because they find it easier to relate to the character and to tell the story, but this can come with problems. It can be harder to create a more complex storyline as you are limited as to what information you can give and what you can show to the reader due to how much you character will actually know, see and experience.

You will often end up in the realm of telling instead of showing as a way of explaining, which isn’t that great.

Another problem can be lack of character voice as you might not have had time to develop your authors voice and style, therefore all your characters run the risk of sounding the same.

Lastly your characters can come off as whining, self-centred and a bit dumb as it’s all too easy to fall into the trap of too much information feeding.

As always everything with writing is takes time and practice. Read lots of tips, keep watching videos like this and keep writing.

Upcoming videos include dialogue, exploring the various POV’s in depth, how to edit your work and more talk on romance novels.

Until then, blessed be and happy writing.

What is your opinion on the roles of language in new media.

New media has became the most used platform nowadays. In my opinion, language has plays a major role in new media. One of the major role of language in new media is, language is needed to send message and to educate audience. Without language, one cannot explain the content or knowledge that they want to share about and the audience cannot even understand about the content. Beside playing a role in sending message and to educate audience, language also plays a role to communicate with other new media user. A language is needed to communicate with other new media user especially from different country. The usage of language especially English as international language will help user to communicate each other despite the different of mother tongue. Language also become a way of communication used for conversation, business deal and others. Without language, one cannot sign a Memorandum of Understanding also the terms and condition. Moreover, language plays a role as providing the right grammar and spelling in new media. A message could be misinterpret when the sender uses incorrect grammar and spelling. With language, we can write with proper grammar and spelling when communicating using new media. This shows the importance of language in new media. Finally, language is important in new media to enhance user's vocabulary. This is by using less known words in an article or anything else. As an example, a user can use 'vivid' rather than the word 'real' and indirectly enhancing the user's vocabulary. This gives the user benefits, where they can understand about many topic in new media, when they has a good vocabulary. In conclusion, language has played a vital role in new media. Without language, one cannot understand and communicate through new media.

How does language inaccuracy in new media cause communication breakdown?

Communication are very important in this new generation whether it is in real life or in social media. Thus, communication breakdown can easily occur in any situation. Communication breakdown simply means the failure to exchange information throughout the community. We often use new media platforms to connect and communicate with each other, no matter what the situation. Therefore, using the right and accurate language in new media are very important.

Communication breakdown can happen when we don’t use the right and accurate language such as, people might misunderstand us and may be offended by what we have said. This also can happen when we don’t use the right vocabularies and grammar in communicating with other people. Younger generations nowadays can also cause this issue as they will tend to write or communicate with others with their sloppy language habits. This may cause confusions among the community that may turn into a toxic environment to other people around the world. Sure, there might be no rules in communicating in new media platforms but we also have to adhere to the common courtesies so we don’t get ourselves in any bad situations. Final words, we have to improve our habit and style of communicating with others, no matter in real life or in any new media platforms so that we can avoid from committing such language inaccuracy.

With regards to the use of English Language, how do we ensure the effectiveness of a particular new media content / material delivered in new media platforms ?

In my opinion, regarding to the usage of English language in new media platform and content, we can ensure the effectiveness of the message that we are trying to deliver to any particular audience are understandable with the right usage of English. It is to make sure the audience will not misinterpret the message that we had delivered and make them get our message crystal clear. Moreover, the effectiveness of our content in new media would definitely be spread internationally because the content is written in English. By this, we can ensure that our content would be viewed and can interact with people globally.

Furthermore, the content of new media will remain effective as long the content creator being creative in producing their content. By continuing their creativity attractive writing, it will attract more audience to read their entry because they will find it interesting. Based on observation, audience will keep reading entries when the writing of the content is interesting by giving shocking headlines, fun facts, pun jokes, memes or statistics. Finally, we can ensure the effectiveness of new media content by writing with the right writing skill such as using the right connotations so that our audience did not feel annoyed with connotation errors.

Is ‘cyberculture’ changing the way we speak or write in English ?

‘Cyberculture’ now had affect us in many different kind of aspects but much importantly now, is that they also have affect us through the tranforming of our beloved English language. ‘Cyberculture’ are the term use to indicate people who are in communities or society that are connected through computer networks whether it is for communication, entertainment and even business. Online games and Blogs are types of cyberculture and they have change how we write English in our daily life. Most of the time they helps us by providing some new vocabulary that been use in games script or in their written article and thus increase our writing skills as overall but these cyberculture also introduce to us and our young generation with the use of internet language which contain internet slangs, memes, smileys and emoticons. Acronyms such as ‘LOL’, ‘YOLO’, or ‘FOMO’ have been popularize and used by many people through chat system, social media and even through their daily speeches. Apart from that, new function of a vocabulary also appeared from internet like ‘snack’ is use to say someone look good while in dictionariy, it is a term for quick food. It will affect on how we naturally use english in our standard and academic writing especially to the new generation because it becoming more and more common things we used for communication between each others. Voice chat sytem are now a common function to communicate with various kind of people from many different countries in the internet. It helps how we can to pronounce words accurately by learnt them through native speaker accents and apply it effectively in our daily conversation with people around us. In conlcusion, cyberculture have truly change the way we usually use english in our daily life whether in a good or bad way.

Entry 5

How does knowledge on the different types of internet languages affect professionalism in new media ?

Nowadays people tend to use internet languages rather than the original English languages to type. They like to use internet languages because it is easy to type and not easily get bored. People like to use acronyms and emoji to chat and sometimes they just use gif to chat with their friends. By using all these types of internet languages, new generations are more attractive to use internet languages rather than English languages. Their English could be bad and they will feel hard to write essays on their exams. In the past, people were limited to use their words in a text message because they need to pay for every message that they send. To avoid that they use acronyms to send a message. Back then the time acronyms were trending, people always used it but by the time now it is getting annoying because using English words to type are better. This is because people can use some apps that they can download for free such as Whatsapp and Telegram. However, the technologies are getting better and better. Acronyms are getting forgotten the new generations because it is so lame to use now. New generations can learn new internet languages from social media that generates internet languages daily such as Twitter. The new internet languages will be put in the dictionary and will be the original English words. The internet languages that had been put in the dictionary were Selfie, Phablet, Derp, Tweet and many more. These internet languages will make new generations feel difficult to write essays that will be given by their teachers. For me, internet languages are not prohibited but people need to control so that they would not do mistakes in their essays.

Conclusion

From the inference above, we can conclude that new media has became mainstream and widely use by people from all over the world. The right usage of new media will ensure it to remain mainstream and widely use throughout times.
