Editing Talk:33/es:33 Minutos

== And So It Begins... ==
I had several questions about the translation process, but I figured some of them might sort themselves out if I just dove in and gave it a try. I had to start somewhere, so I started on season 1, episode 1. (Seemed logical at the time). 

===Which Sections to Translate===
I'm not sure which sections ought to be translated over. All of them? (Analysis? Noteworthy dialogue? Questions?) I guess ideally all sections would be, but I was worried that the dialogue that we would translate from our English version might differ from the Spanish closed captioning.

===On linking to other Articles===
I was confused as to how to link to other articles. At present I just linked to the English versions of the article, piping in the best attempt at what I would think the Spanish article would be. I guess ideally you'd link to whichever translated articles were available (presently, 0).

===Amusing Translations===
I translated "starliner" to "transatlántico de estrellas". Apparently transatlántico means "Ocean liner", so it's sort of "Ocean liner of stars". I'm betting a native speaker could provide something better.

===Templates===
The templates stick out as being untranslated, so I may set about creating a spanish version of some of them and linking to them. I might end up with some more "star oceanliners" but at least the wiki-structure would be in place for those who can translate better than I.

===Categories===
I wasn't sure if I ought to go ahead and put categories on here, as they will show up in the main category listings. My hope, however, is that the es: (or whichever) prefix might help distinguish the translated pages, and might help give them more visibility.

===Ship name Articles===
I tried maintaing the convention of using feminine pronouns, etc, when dealing with the ship names. I'm not sure how well that translates, or if that should be determined as a standard/convention for each language individually.

I guess that's all for now. Feel free to jump in to edit/correct/add where necessary (I'm thinking this could use a lot of help). --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 16:48, 23 January 2006 (EST)

	:Actually I relied heavily on Babelfish to do a lot of the raw translating. My vocab skills aren't what they once were. However, the value added of a human is recognizing where English idioms (or just a literal translation) are getting in the way, and finding a way around that. I guess I should try babelfish on the final product (but I'd rather be reviewed by a native speaker). --[[User:Steelviper\|Steelviper]] 16:55, 23 January 2006 (EST)
