Just to figure out where I fall in the chain, will you be sending the transcripts to me for OE checking after betas send them to you?

archaeologist_d July 25 2010, 16:49:27 UTC

I have all the spells from the 2 series using the subtitles on the DVDs. http://archaeologist-d.livejournal.com/tag/spells

I also have them in word. If you like, I can send them to you. I did try and translate but have no background in OE so it's okay at best and horrible at worst. I also have two that Shine told me the correct translations to. My email is dianethx@comcast.net

Thank you! That's awesome. :D

@lily_handmaiden, I checked and the subtitles I linked above also include the spells. I don't know how accurate they are or if they're exactly the same as the DVD subtitles, you'll have to compare. Can you work with that?

lily_handmaiden July 25 2010, 17:42:59 UTC

Hmm, I cannot open the subtitle files at all. What kind of program do I need to use?

I know that the subtitles on my first season DVD (which is Region 1, so there may be a difference) were often wildly inaccurate when it came to spells as far as I could tell.

Also, I cannot open the subtitle files. I have several text editors and none of them work. Can you either post them online or else tell me how to get them in text form?

moonilicious July 25 2010, 17:06:09 UTC

Are you on a Mac? I tested them on Windows, with Editor, WordPad and Word and they all opened them. :/ I'll see what I can do!

archaeologist_d July 25 2010, 17:06:38 UTC

Never mind. I figured it out! Thanks.

archaeologist_d July 25 2010, 18:29:32 UTC

Do I include the coming episodes? I would think not but just checking.

moonilicious July 25 2010, 18:32:23 UTC

There's no need to transcribe the previews, no. :)

I'm so glad for all the questions! Definitely going to update the sample page soon. This is a learning experience for all of us. Soon we shall be pros! ;)

pippopippo July 25 2010, 19:51:54 UTC

Are we only transcribing dialogue? I mean, should we also describe actions and scenes without dialogue?

pippopippo July 25 2010, 19:59:40 UTC

Never mind, I saw the question/answer in the other post. Thanks! :)

Is this the post where we say whether it's gone to stage II? If not then sorry! But Excalibur has entered stage II :D

moonilicious July 26 2010, 09:19:15 UTC

Ooh, that is great news! You're the first to finish, too. Congrats! :D

Would you like another episode to transcribe? I don't have a beta to assign you right now but I'm sure I could find a volunteer!

van_x_tango July 26 2010, 13:10:32 UTC

I'm the first? oh wow! I just hope I did it right, although I'm learning it's not as easy as it looks

I don't mind doing another episode :D (can it be one not as battle heavy as the last? I just described 3 battle scenes, trying to make them sound more interesting than the last!...i think you could tell I was running out of different words to replace strike and blow with. Why am i asking this, the show is full of fighting scenes!)

moonilicious July 26 2010, 19:24:10 UTC

Awesome! I assigned you the next episode in line, Beauty and the Beast I. I don't remember much fighting in that part so I hope that's alright!
