>Wait, you translated a European comic?
Nnnnnnnnot exactly, see, I downloaded a translated copy of a Dylan Dog album, but the guy who translated it used Comic Sans as the font. Sorry, guy who originally translated it, but Comic Sans?
>So, you just retyped it?
Nnnnnnnnot exactly. I'm one of those guys who, when he gets something to type up, tries to fix things up a little here and there if he can. I rewrote some of the dialogue, just for my own sake. Again, sorry to the guy who originally translated this, but that's just me, I'm afraid. I also deleted a few pages.
>You deleted a few what
Pages. Only two, and that was because they didn't work for me - again, me being a pedantic little turd. one was the very last page, which didn't "fit" (I was finishing my work at quarter past midnight, so it's equally possible that I was being lazy) and the other was of one of the murders that takes place in the story. I just... I wasn't expecting something like that. For some reason it just pressed a button I never want pressed again. I didn't want to do any work on that page, and luckily for me it was easily removed without damaging the overall narrative.
>Okay, so where is this carefully edited masterpiece?
http://www.mediafire.com/?xia8uaam2m8hz4d
>Hey, this was translated by Dark Horse over a decade ago! And some of the pages look really weird...
Yeah, I didn't figure that out until after I uploaded the damn thing. Still, here it is. Oh, and the weirdness of the pages can be attributed to the scanner. Whilst it was nice of them to scan their copy, it would've been nicer to have a copy that didn't look as though somebody'd wiped their arse with it.

I would gladly use mediafire... but they locked my account back in the summer of 2012. As for the other file uploaders, it's merely my paranoia that they will be party v& by the FBI, like demonoid and megaupload. Rapidshare has many negative qualities

Minifig, would you happen to have your sights set on translating a French comic called Violine? It's about a girl who can read minds, and she sets out on an adventure to find her father. Her mother happens to be the only person she can't mind read, and her mother also has inhibitions about discussing the whereabouts of the father.

A while ago, someone on 7chan who went by Jan Panda began translating it, but he only got as far as translating volume 2 before disappearing years ago.

I actually have an external hard drive crammed with Topolino issues ready for me to translate... unfortunately, the stupid thing doesn't want to connect to my laptop.

As to the link you gave me... I don't mean to be rude, but the fact that I need to agree to the site's terms & services just to download the files is odd, to say the least.

Don't bother translating Italian Disney comics. Quite a few have been translated and released by Disney. Just check the latest posts on Kaskus Scanlations.

I'm now ⅓ through the book, which is nice
>>47479
Ah, I'm indebted to you for the advice. I'll have a look at kaskus (but I think my ISP is blocking the site) to see what I should avoid. I had designs on translating the first ever Paperinik story, only to find that the good folks at the Duck Avenger blog had gotten there before me.

I'm almost a third through Michel Vaillant... and I just dropped my laptop, pretty much destroying the USB stick that had all of my eurocomics on it. I'm taking it to a local computer store, but I'm not expecting a miracle - I've got backups for my translations on rapidshare, and the Michel Vaillant book I'm currently translating is on my laptop, so it's not all bad.

Still, I'm a fucking idiot.

>mfw I realise a bunch of old Topolino stories that I'd already scanlated are stuck on an external hard drive that I can't open for some reason

To add insult to injury, I can't find the original TNTVillage thread where I originally got them, and the only torrent I could find that has the comics died at 78.7%.

I posted a few of them on regular /co/ in a few threads in January this year: "Zio Paperone e i Due Nemici", "Compare Orso E La Festa Movimentata" and "I Bassotti In Vacanza Dalla Zia". Foolz archived all these threads, but I can't open the images without getting the usual "4chan Leech" image.

Oh, and I'm about ⅖ through Michel Vaillant. I'm less confident that I'll finish it this year than I was a month ago, but it'll be done when it's done.

I've started work on a Clifton album. Now, I know what you're going to say: "But Minifig, you adorable little goof, Cinebook already translated Clifton stories!". True, but they didn't translate all of them - in fact, they barely translated a quarter of Clifton's illustrious career!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clifton_%28comics%29#Timeline_of_major_stories

I'll be tackling the first Macherot story, hopefully finishing all three of his Clifton stories by the end of the year. Would you guys prefer that I release each story individually, or slap it all together into one big file like I did with those Waters of Dead Moon stories?

I've finished Clifton, but I've decided I'll upload all three Macherot stories in one big cbz file. I'll finish off the month by making a start on Topolino № 3000 - should be a nice little palate cleanser. When March comes around, I'll make a start on the second Johan book.
