[Finished] Neurosama “Life” Animated Subtitle Project

[blissful fulcrum]

Its finally (kinda) out!!! It took us a whole month to make! (1 week of me and @olive furnace typesetting, 3 weeks of translating. (February 6 was when we actually finished), and uhh… 17 days of waiting just to only have 2/18 tracks uploaded aintnoway x.x)

Only English is out at the moment as the rest will need further approval. Because of this, the files won’t be released for now, and I’ll put them in this thread once they’ve all been released

Notes:

• If Youtube defaults to the non-animated variant, just change your track selection to the one with the “Animated” label and it should work
• Don’t expect “Animated” to work too well on mobile, as both iOS and Android have limited caption support (iOS especially!)
• Format constraints don’t allow for better or smoother visuals, and that makes them bug out sometimes. Sorry!
  -# I arranged and did this only for fun lol i had too much time to kill imagine if i left a mistake id be so cooked

Future contributions are welcome! Just… uhh… don’t expect it to be on the MV due to how difficult this is to even just organize

was about to post the credits list but apparently theres a ping limit in this server lol nvm

give those ppl some love for their contributions they wouldn't have made this possible

Do you need help translating Italian?

[blissful fulcrum]

Technically i do want more languages but you'd need a cotranslator with you and also the list is quite long now too

[wintry pulsar]

Oh I know at least another guy

Me and him have been doing a bit is assa/youtube subtitleing recently

[small sleet]

how do I help?

[blissful fulcrum]

First, you need to install aegisub, more specifically either typesettingtools/aegisub or arch1t3cht/aegisub

Then you also need to install arcusmaximus/YTSubConverter

[Note: arch1t3cht's aegisub fork is being merged upstream to the typesetting tools variant, it might be better to install the typesetting tools variant as the file doesn't use any fork-specific styling anyway]

(the embeds are so large i had to remove them lol)

Use the English files to translate, and use these filipino files as a reference for what we did when translating

[small sleet]

Aight, let's see how I feel about trusting the sub converter

ah fuck it it'll be fine right

[blissful fulcrum]

its open source and has been out since 2020 (i used it in 2021 when i was still a weeny little kid yes i learned this when i was like 11 ) and it works great

my main complaint is that it was last active 2 years ago which is far from ideal...

i have no clue if i forgot something lol i only did a surface level skim through our discussion lol

[hidden pelican]

just translated this song into my native language for fun :]. i don't have a proofreader for this yet though

[proven jasper]

im the cotranslator

[ruby escarp]

pog

[blissful fulcrum]

@olive furnace can you at least proofread cebuano if you can't translate it bro 😭

[olive furnace]

alr

[blissful fulcrum]

[wintry pulsar]

Is this for translating? What's the difference between the download from the Aegisub site and these github ones?

[blissful fulcrum]

the one at the aegisub site should be the typesetting tools variant

[wintry pulsar]

Ok so I can just download from the official site?

[blissful fulcrum]

ye

[wintry pulsar]

have you started doing anything? (I did a bit)

[wintry pulsar]

are those how the final completed animated subs will look?

[wintry pulsar]

6. "Mobile captions may have visibility issues."
   does mobile caption means the moving text or subtitles on mobile phones?

[blissful fulcrum]

that refers to the styling info being heavily lost

[blissful fulcrum]

ye that's what they look like (albeit nerfed a little due to limitations)

[wintry pulsar]

Sorry, I'm confused, what do you mean?

[wintry pulsar]

|| ngl, I expected more from the final Hello (if I'm allowed to make comments), although I had to watch a couple of times to see every detail. ||

[blissful fulcrum]

tldr it looks worse (as ive said)

[blissful fulcrum]

i didn't think it was appropriate to animate that portion since its mostly just zoom effects which is extremely hard to do with text that has variable speed

[blissful fulcrum]

(it looks worse on iOS, you can see what i mean by this on the converter's wiki page)

[wintry pulsar]

I see, so you mean mobile as mobile phones

[blissful fulcrum]

yes

[wintry pulsar]

I was thinking like bigger and in the middle, but then again I probably talk out of my behind (pardon the language)

[blissful fulcrum]

tv apparently has full support for subtitles but its really hard to find a tv client to test on

makes sense though since YouTube TV is just a web app that sends specialized headers to the YouTube page iirc

note: the tv app is not to be confused with the youtube tv service*

[blissful fulcrum]

just realized: this fucking video is on MOV

dawg why does my editing software still default to that shit lmaooo

whatever

[blissful fulcrum]

screw it ive changed my mind and I'm releasing the files early (if you can't tell im not bound to any contracts thats the only reason why i can do this lmao)

(in 7zip format cause virustotal restricts .zip files to only have 1 file in them)

Virustotal Result (V1): https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/c70de95b0432b34b6e7b8e322dd84722cec12cd37362a070444cd26a7c25462b

[wintry pulsar]

@proven jasper I started translating a bit, do you want a google drive link?

[proven jasper]

if you make it like a txt it would basically be a shared file instead of just putting in the ass file

[wintry pulsar]

edit: sent the link elsewhere

[blissful fulcrum]

bump (thread dissapeared for my end)

[wintry pulsar]

Slow and steady doing it ✍️

[wintry pulsar]

@blissful fulcrum so, on "Show you just who I am", just who I am would be translated to who I really am (mostrarti chi sono io realmente), but if it's too long we thought that we could just say who I am , but adding formats to i (chi sono io)

[proven jasper]

my idea was to highlight the sense of self but it could work without that too

[blissful fulcrum]

seems fine to me

in filipino we translated that line to Para maipakita ko sa'yo kung sino ako which translates (literally) to "In order to show you who i am"

[wintry pulsar]

wait, do we have to rhyme?

[blissful fulcrum]

no

it just needs to be short if the literal translation is too long

[slim latch]

damn good job

[wintry pulsar]

Are both profiles of you two a coincidence?

[slim latch]

yeah

[wintry pulsar]

Are the subtitles being implemented?

[blissful fulcrum]

i think so but currently evils birthday is coming up so everyone is still extra busy

[wintry pulsar]

@proven jasper I just finished the last lines cause I realized a lot of them a repeats lol

[wintry pulsar]

@blissful fulcrum what languages did you say are already done or been done rn?

[blissful fulcrum]

theyre in the video at the top of this thread

EN, FIL, FR, KR, RU, vietnamese, thai, spanish, swedish

[wintry pulsar]

What's fil?

[blissful fulcrum]

filipino

[wintry pulsar]

@blissful fulcrum you know when at the end she says "you! I found you!", I assumed the first "you" was like "hey you!", but then we thought it could be some kind of continuation of the previous line: "I'm fighting just to find...".

[blissful fulcrum]

up to you, but for me i don't think it is, as the TTS is on a completely different vocal layer entirely

[proven jasper]

[blissful fulcrum]

[wintry pulsar]

Hey @blissful fulcrum , you are from the the Philippines, right?

[blissful fulcrum]

yes, i live in the UAE at the moment though

[wintry pulsar]

Do you know about the Legend of Neuro sama documentary project?

[blissful fulcrum]

yes i do

[wintry pulsar]

Are you interested in writing translated subs for the video?

In the non English languages you speak, I mean

[blissful fulcrum]

i only speak 1 other language

[wintry pulsar]

Anyway, are you interested? We don't have FIL subs yet.

[blissful fulcrum]

ill see what i can do o7

[blissful fulcrum]

@olive furnace have you proofread

[marsh dome]

[blissful fulcrum]

he has not

brother

literally no progress

[wintry pulsar]

I've finished Italian and we are slowly proofreading it, got a few uncertainties.
How did you translate eye to eye?

[blissful fulcrum]

we just translated it literally

if thats impossible in Italian then try to use a term thats similar

[wintry pulsar]

"Occhio per occhio" means "Eye for an eye".
"Occhio a occhio" means "by eye"/"eye by eye"/"eyeballing".
"Occhi negli occhi" mean "eyes into eyes".
"Faccia a faccia" means "Face to face" whice is pretty close, even if sometimes it sounds like it has a connotation a bit aggressive.
Those are the main ideas.

[blissful fulcrum]

maybe no.4

i couldn't find a better term in filipino so i chose no.1 for my TL but it should be closer to resembling agreement

[wintry pulsar]

Actually the first 2 were supposed to be wrong ones lol

[blissful fulcrum]

[made by promote]

@hidden pelican plscheck

[hidden pelican]

for the most part, it's good but i would make some changes (mainly minor changes, just to make it sound more natural):

• nagtatakbo sa isip ko (14, 41: patuloy na tumatakbo sa isip ko)

• mga iniisip ko ay laging naguguluhan (31: wag mo akong iwanan, di ko kaya)

• for all choruses...
  kung wala ka (kung ikaw ay wala)
  boses (tinig) [replace every "tinig" with "boses"]
  inabot ko ang kamay sa aking mukha (Inaabot ng kamay ko sa mukha ko)
  at wala akong naramdaman (at wala akong nararamdaman)

• final chorus: naghihintay sa'yo (naghihintay ako sa iyo)

[wintry pulsar]

@proven jasper asked on Lalla's English channel.
I think we are still 50/50 on these two, I wish we could ask the original writers.

[proven jasper]

that is actually just perfect

i didnt really like it as a choice but now after this explanation its just perfect even though you lose the idiom +1 bonus it gains so much more

i dont think she “sees” whats fake and whats true i think that is more extract but it fits the “why cant you see my view” just that much

[wintry pulsar]

That's what I thought.
The only problem is that it isn't as obvious as faccia a faccia

[blissful fulcrum]

[wintry pulsar]

The Italian translation is kinda stuck at 90% atm, I'm always in search of another person to give more opinions.
Also @blissful fulcrum I wanted to ask if it's true that in the Filippine you mostly talk English?
#1337655911493144658 message

[blissful fulcrum]

well, no actually

we mainly talk filipino

but we consume a lot of english media

[wintry pulsar]

So what do you personally think about Filipino translations of Neuro content/fancontent ?

[blissful fulcrum]

i dont look at them

as again we mainly consume english content

for a lot of things

[wintry pulsar]

BOOM when?

[blissful fulcrum]

idk, should i?

especially when the effort is just to be wasted anyway

(they still havent updated the subs from what ive heard)

[wintry pulsar]

Did you make the animated ones? Or just the translation?

[wintry pulsar]

Or just the translation?

[blissful fulcrum]

animated + translation for FIL

[wintry pulsar]

Well at least the animated ones are in.
Although making animated subs for BOOM might be more difficult.
