As a positive side effect, you pretty much always stay productive because you never overwork yourself. Fulfilling that daily quota eventually becomes an intricate part of your daily live to the point you feel like something is ‘lacking’ or you even feel guilty whenever you don’t do it. So yeah, once people start to actually translate, they realize it’s moving along a hell lot slower than initially in their heads and eventually give up.Īs for the second part of this question, judging from my experience, it’s important to decide on a fixed amount of lines you translate per day. to synthesize a target language output and this takes a lot more cognitive labor (and time) than you’d offhandedly imagine. In simple terms that means you have to consciously consider context, provided information, nuance, embedded emotions etc. Scientifically speaking, the reason why this is not the case is because comprehension ultimately takes place on a semantic level (subconscious) and language production requires a conscious grasp and analysis of involved semantics. To cut right to the point, you mistake that language comprehension directly enables language production in a different language. I actually made a similar experience when I started to sub anime. Secondly, inadequate grasp of the extent of work. The main reason should always be the personal enjoyment. Firstly, most people engage in translating for the wrong reasons like seeking for acknowledgement, showing off or just trying to be a good Samaritan. I believe there are two major reasons for that. The dropout rate for fan translators is startlingly high, why do you think that is and what to do you do to stay motivated and productive? Let’s just say the power of moe sided with me. According to the statistics, I lose in 9 out of 10 cases, but for some reason, I managed to win more often than lose when it came to translation. I’d say the constant fight against my weaker self. What was the biggest challenge you’ve faced while translating SakuSaku? At one point he considered storming Palette’s office to demand justice. Isn’t it downright criminal that there is no Aoi route?įrankly, I personally didn’t mind it much since I’m not really into Onee-san characters, but one of my friends cried bitter tears (and probably still is). Technically Yuri, but I prefer the Tina route. For that purpose, I decided to start out with a simple slice of life title and SakuSaku just happened to be an adequate work I had enjoyed in recent memory. My plan was to polish up my English and get practical exercise in translation so that I can work on more complex titles, specifically IroSeka, without potentially impairing the reader’s experience. To be perfectly honest, there’s no deep reason. Why did you choose to translate Koi ga Saku Koro Sakura Doki specifically? Eventually, I decided to instead translate visual novels and set that decision into practice. As such, I initially got involved with fan-subbing anime, but at some point, it started to feel redundant and pointless, mostly because CR had started to simulcast most anime with steadily increasing translation quality (some CR subs are still full of ridiculous translation mistakes though). It’s a natural desire to get more involved with things you like and share them with others, all the more so if there’s only a handful of those. ![]() Consequently, there are very few things I truly enjoy, anime and visual novels being two of those. I guess I’m the type of person you’d usually refer to as emotionally cold. Why did you decide to start translating visual novels? The interesting part about any language is, you can never learn enough, even if it’s your native one. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be here, right? Anyhow, I’ve been into visual novels since almost 8 years now, which is equally the time since when I’ve been learning Japanese. ![]() ![]() It shouldn’t be very surprising to hear that visual novels are my big passion. My major is computer science and my minor neuroscience. Well, to put it short, I’m a 23 year old German university student. To start things off, tell us a little about yourself and your background. Today, we’ll be bringing you an interview with the translator for this visual novel, Akerou. As you can imagine, comedic hijinks and romance ensues. Unluckily(?) for him, this trademark compassion made him the most popular boy among girls in the school, to the point where they put a “love bounty” on his head! Things begin to change as a self-proclaimed “love fairy” who looks suspiciously like a shinigami shows up at his doorstep one day and begins freeloading off of his family. The story follows Yuma, a serious but compassionate boy who has no interest in dating others. Joining the ranks of translation projects nearing completion, Koi ga Saku Koro Sakura Doki (aka SakuSaku) just reached 100% translation this Monday! SakuSaku is a cute and comedic character-focused VN praised for its high-quality art.

![]() ![]() Downie tends to recommend chemical exfoliants over physical ones.Īs for chemical exfoliators, these are acid-based products like peels, which slough off dead skin cells and show a fresh layer of skin underneath. Downie, the formulas with bigger physical particles could potentially cause hyperpigmentation or micro-tears on the outermost layer of your skin. You might want to dodge exfoliators with larger, harder, sharper bits in them and instead opt for ones with finer, granier pieces. The former has - you've guessed it - physical particles such as walnut shells, sand, and microbeads that use your manual efforts to buff away dead skin cells. The first thing to understand is that there are two kinds of exfoliants: physical and chemical. What are the differences between physical exfoliants and chemical exfoliants? And if you find your skin is sensitive to an exfoliator, you can try reducing the frequency of use or scout out a different one. So, be sure to exfoliate only two to three times a week, as suggested by our two experts. There is such a thing as exfoliating too much, which can cause irritation, redness, or weakening of the skin microbiome. Folks with mature skin can join in on this step, but with decreased frequency and an extra gentle touch, according to Dr. However, it should be noted that those with very dry skin, eczema, or psoriasis should generally stay away from exfoliators due to a higher chance of irritation. Truth is, people of all skin types and tones can exfoliate. You may be wondering if your skin type and exfoliation make a good match. When skin doesn't get sufficient exfoliation, it will appear dull and feel dry." Exfoliation enables your skin to soak up all of the ingredients' benefits as well as stay properly hydrated, too. To elaborate on this "glow factor," Ross says, "A good exfoliator should gently slough off dead skin without harming the skin in the process. ![]() Downie, if you want to improve your skin's "glow factor," use an exfoliator. Katie Decker-Jacoby, style & beauty reviews fellowĪccording to Dr. You can read a more thorough breakdown of the product here. I treat myself to this exfoliator twice a week (as the brand suggests), skip out on toner and retinol those nights, and remember to pack on the SPF the next morning. Regardless, what I found helpful was starting with five minutes of keeping this peel on and then working my way up to the full recommended ten minutes. And if this is your first rodeo with the product or chemical peels in general, it's a good idea to do a patch test beforehand. If you have sensitive skin, though, you might find this product too abrasive. One spot, in particular, had even flattened out. Following the first application, my skin felt soft and squeaky clean. I'm glad I caved in because it has definitely improved my skin texture and pore congestion. This chemical exfoliator's iconic blood-red color initially made me timid about trying it out, but I knew it had to have some merit after all of the hype.
