i would never have believed it if you told me i would be doing subtitles as a job. well, i am.
no, i don't get to write my name at the end.
i translate english to malay for anime videos. yeah, can you believe it? i dislike(hate's too strong a word) anime with a passion, and here i am translating these videos and though i only get to read the script and not see the videos, i have to say SOME of the storylines are pretty captivating. i guess some things are best described with words and not pictures.
malaysia being the motherload of all pirated discs, subtitles just don't make sense most of the time. as much as i would like to humour someone, i hope with all my heart my subtitles don't make someone laugh, because we all have our laugh-my-head-off moments with subtitles.
this is my most defining subtitle moment.
english: my lips are sealed.
malay: bibir saya anjing laut.
i rest my case.

Haha, Malaysia's pirated DVDs has lousy subtitles. You should never rely on the subtitles when watching a movie.
Anyway, at least u're doing some work so that u're not bored at home, haha.. Translating anime is also a work. Keep up your good work of translation.
creative isn't how i'd put it haha. oh btw that japanese thing you gave me is quite nice=P
and jon, it's all well if i dont rely on the subtitles for non-chinese movies but i guess the lesson that needs to be learnt is never watch pirated chinese movies? haha
