About Me

[edit]

I am a professional Japanese to English translator who blows off steam from work by translating more on Wiki. Feel free to contact me if you need help on a JPN->ENG translation project or help finding JPN sources.

These are projects that are neither in progress nor complete. Usually pages that I have gotten as far as I can with my current resources and may revisit later.

The Great Purge

[edit]

These pages were either deleted, stubbified, or had sections deleted for suspected LLM usage (discussion here). Someday, if I'm really bored, I might return to these pages and see if anything needs to be added back in.

Funny Mistranslations

[edit]

This section is to save hilarious mistranslations (mostly by MT I imagine) I've found for posterity.

  • 玉串: "ball-shaped stick" (forgot what article this was on, it might still be there...)
  • "...and that the reason was that there was never a change of dynasty in Japan, whereas in China where there should be Confucian teachings, what?" (even they don't know what their translation is.)
  • 岩倉具視のブレーンであった国学者の玉松操: Tamamatsu Misao, who was a brainchild of Iwakura Tomomi. (people can be brainchildren now)
  • 思想界: In the world of thought (I live in a world of thought)
  • Ritual in ritual-politics means "ritual" and religion. The word "politics" means "ritual" and politics. (I hope that's cleared up now)
  • These fields of law are collectively referred to as "criminal law," but criminal law is positioned as the central law of criminal law. (criminal law is a type of criminal law in the center of criminal law, got it)
  • April 2015, as a major debut the first month and simultaneously start two unusual crown program. (What.)
